What was usually served with grits for breakfast?
That would depend on whether you are eating them in the south or the north. If you are a Yankee, you eat your grits with sugar, butter ormargarine milk or cream, and perhaps a touch of cinnamon, maybe even some syrup or honey. If you are like every other self-respecting southerner, you eat your grits with salt, pepper, and a touch of butter.
Grits are traditionally served with eggs, bacon and/or sausage, toast, biscuits and sausage gravy, pancakes, chicken fried steak, fried okra, or any other food that happens to be available at the time to serve at breakfast. Grits are not a sweet-eat, as they are made of corn. Grits are not Cream of Wheat, or Malt-O-Meal, or any other soupy, milky Yankee concoction. Grits are a hardy, stick to your ribs sourthern tradition.
Eat them any way you want, with what ever you choose. But, if you find yourself south of the Mason-Dixon line in a restaurant or diner or at some other host's table, do not eat them like a Yankee. No greater insult exists to a southerner.
Why does your breath smell like cream corn?

Iv'e been with 50 plus girls/women before I was married at 21yrs old.
That's 15 years old to 21 yrs old. Many of those women had breaths that smell like sweet corn including my wife (29 years married now). Also many women I've met where flirtations only occurred and their breaths often turned to smelling like sweet corn. "Turned to smelling" often the breath did not have a distinctive odor and then changed to the sweet corn smell.
I went to a female eye doctor once. She was getting very close to me, more than the already close quarters would suggest. She was repeatedly putting her face close enough to mine that I could feel her body heat (few inches). Her breath started smelling like corn and got pretty strong in the small room. She was doing all the flirting and touching strokes. She was doing all she could to let me know I should ask her out, but I couldn't- married.
So I've noticed the sweet corn breath is associate with sexual attraction. Whenever I've kissed a woman who has or ends up having breath that smells like sweet corn we ended up in heavy makeout or sex, often she would say she loves me. After weeks they'd move onto some other guy who has been putting the time in. I always had two or three girls I was putting the time in for, including my now wife. The girls made it that way. I would have stuck with many of them, I think.
