    What the fuck is a "hot grit" anyway?

    'Hot grits' (always plural) refer to a type of hot cereal in the southern USA. Grits are made from corn, but is similar in appearance and texture to 'Cream of Wheat', or 'Malt-O-Meal'.

    Or:(if not a Yank, or Yankee)

    Gruel or mush, made from corn, typically served hot, with breakfast...sadly, without Natalie Portman.

    Porridge https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porridge [wikipedia.org] is a useful word (you'll find your grits beneath "maize"), although not very specific and sometimes confused with rice puddings https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rice_pudding [wikipedia.org] which are common in the UK and Nordic countries (where they can be both breakfast and dinner).
