gritsmall

Gritsmall is a term that refers to a small portion or quantity of grits. Grits themselves are a porridge made from boiled cornmeal, typically hominy. They are a staple food in the Southern United States and are often served as a breakfast dish, though they can accompany other meals. When described as "gritsmall," it implies a serving size that is notably less than a standard portion. This could be due to various reasons, such as a lighter appetite, a desire for a smaller side dish, or a specific dietary consideration. The term is informal and not a technical culinary measurement. The consistency and preparation of gritsmall would otherwise be the same as regular grits, focusing on the cornmeal base and boiling process. It is a descriptive term used in everyday conversation rather than a formal designation found in recipes or culinary dictionaries.
