The food looks wonderful. I have just looked 'grits' up to find out what it is/they are and discover it is something a bit like polenta. But I loved the line in the Wiki entry under 'Other Uses' which says

It is sometimes said that dry grits can be used to kill ants by causing them to 'explode' as the grits expand inside them;[7][8] however, laboratory tests conducted on fire ants suggest that grits are ineffective.
