Grits alone can be bland as hell
They can, but the real shite isn't; this is an awful and hurtful southern stereotype. When I had my wisdom teeth out I ate nothing but my momma's grits (albeit blended a little thinner with a hand mixer, because you know, wisdom teeth) for a week. Heaven.

I LOVE grits so I wasn't downing them. However, the reason I'd advise a non-grits initiate to stay away from restaurant grits is for two reasons 1. you don't know what you'll get 2. you don't know how to properly eat/season grits if you don't have an aficionado with you and one bad experience can turn folks away permanently (hard to get them try it again). Those kind of grits are where that stereotype comes from.
Same with okra - I've heard outsiders say it's the most awful thing ever and describe it as nasty. Those folks are getting non-southern style okra and it's tainting them and causing them to stereotype it. Okra is one of my most favorite things in the world but we don't cook them like the descriptions I've heard from those who hate it after trying it.
