you need to get to the southern States, me lady, grits be what we call dem corn shards after they been bulled up, buttered up, salted up and topped with pork n eggs.

They are a staple dish in the south, its just that corn HAS to nixtamaled, the natives would use wood ash, but the process brings the flavor and nutrients out of the corn.

Masa Harina is milled into a dough, whereas grits are more the size of cornmeal, even a little bigger.
