You have never experienced the wonders of a real British transport cafe 
breakfast  consisting of fried eggs, sausages, bacon (not the whimpish crispy 
stuff so beloved of Americans but the proper stuff with lots of fat) black 
pudding, fried bread, fried mushrooms, fried potatoes, and baked beans 
accompanied by several thick slices of white bread and real butter washed 
down by a couple of mugs of steaming sweet strong tea.  Ideally this should 
be consumed about six or seven in the morning after a long night boozing (and 
maybe even dancing!)

Grits seem to be a strang culinary habit rather like 'biscuits and gravy' 
where the items served appear to bear no resemblance whatsoever to biscuits 
or gravy as known anywhere in the world apart from USA!
