I would never have thought a recipe for Jewish Grits was possible. Having grown up with a grandmother who used schmaltz as a staple item, it never once entered my mind that it could be used to create something that I would find tasty. It just shows that if one is creative in the kitchen it is possible to combine any and all cultures. I have to admit the use of butter and heavy cream in the final recipe is much easier to swallow. I can't wait to try this. This was great fun! I would never have thought a recipe for Jewish Grits was possible.

The obvious problem though is the whole milk - meat thing. And that's where we need our own version of lard. Also known as schmaltz. Far too often kosher recipes reach for the margarine or some other man made abomination. I know schmaltz and lard are not directly comparable, but i'd love to try some lard based recipes (such as <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&ct=res&cd=5&url=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FLardy_cake&ei=DKZfSLqENYK40gSjjuyGDA&usg=AFQjCNFDey2vwKY6kfi5WHYezXjZX7lXdQ&sig2=XjnrJ_5dnufgM7nULHUsHg" rel="nofollow">lardy cake</a>) and use schmaltz instead. Now there's a thought... I agree butter is a wondrous thing. The obvious problem though is the whole milk – meat thing. And that’s where we need our own version of lard. Also known as schmaltz.

Funny story. The idea of lard scares me too, though I count myself among the fortunate that have never seen, nor (hopefully!?) eaten lard. Heh. Funny story.
