Ya know, grits (to me) are seemingly without taste until something is added.
Then it absorbs so much of said added flavor that it like having an
explosion of taste in your mouth.  Sounds like a good thing for a hiker!  If
I was really hungry and only had a few blueberries and added them to grits
and it made me feel like I was eating a whole bowl of blueberries, I think I
could handle that.  ;-)

You can tell I was brought up a yankee....
I tried eating the white paste in school, when I was a kid, and it was OK.
But Grits..... I "just say no..."
I started eating them when I moved to SC, 3 years ago. I tried them in many 
different restaurants, and never developed a taste for them.  Actually, they 
were 
bloody awful... They blast them all over the plate, and run all over my 
eggs... I 
tried cheese, butter, sugar, syrup, salt, and finally relegated them to 
fixing holes 
in my cement driveway (that's pronounced Seement in SC). To each their own, I 
guess... 
Now Sausage gravy is another story entirely.
I love it, but it doesn't love me... I tried this in many restaurants too. 
Mostly they 
make it taste like saw dust. But once in a while, yummmm....... Miss Janet, 
yours 
was great at the Ruck!! And Biscuits.... I love biscuits... But not the 
restaurant dried 
out ones.... Believe it or not, Hardees & Bo Jangles are the best.... And 
some home 
made ones I've tried.

Wondering if Sandpaper is really made with dried grits
