And then there is red eye gravy which is even more of a delicacy. Served with ham fried in a cast iron skillet and biscuits. One of my specialties. My wife makes the biscuits!

Isn't red eye gravy made with ham "juice" and coffee?
I'll get a bucket of Crisco and if I don't like cooking with it, I'll use it on my hair and eyebrow windows.
Off topic but I'm from NJ. And the first time the 5 of us, a long time ago, drove to Disney we stopped for breakfast down South and when the waitress set down the plates we all looked at the grits and next looked at each other. This included our four year old who was new at being suspicious of all things Southern. We wondered in amazement what that was sitting there between the eggs and the bacon and why we weren't warned in advance of it's arrival. Was this a Southern test for Northerners of their true grits?
Most of us now love grits. And red eye gravy. But we are still suspicious of Southerners. No offense meant.
