Ketchup enhances most things.....

I lived in Alabama when young and hated grits from the first time I tried them in about 1963.
In 1989 or so I was in Tenn. and was served grits with my meal. I thought hey it's been year I'll give them another try. So I tried a little with syrup, it was a no go. Tried a little with differant jellys again a no go.
The waitress came back to the table after a little while. She said try a little ketchup on it. So I did, I thought it was a weird idea though. But boy was it good. I couldn't believe it.
I've never tried it again though.
