Cómo se dice "Grits and smoked sausage" en español?

I couldn't find it on the internet and if a native Spanish-speaker helps me, it would be greatly appreciated.

In the southern parts of American we eat grits,scrambled eggs and bacon and sometimes smoked sausage is with the meal.

¡Gracias de antemano y un saludo!

That's the wrong translation of grits...

The correct one is "polenta"

In the southern parts of America?? Do you mean South America or the southern parts of the US? ( >.< )


I've found these meanings on our dictionary, I hope it helps:

grits (US) (Cookery) sémola (f)

scrambled eggs - huevos revueltos

bacon - tocino

smoked sausage - salchicha o chorizo ahumado

Grits and polenta are two different things, though they are very similar. Polenta is very finely ground and grits are more course. Los dos son hechos de maíz molido. Creo que hay cosas que no se puede traducir incluyendo comidas tipicas de una zona. Por ejemplo, los chilaquiles de México se llaman chilaquiles en inglés. Por eso, yo diría que los "grits" son "grits." Mas importante, están ricos. smile

In England chickens eat grits. Grit ( normally in the singular) is larger than sand but smaller than pebbles, very small stones, used for gritting roads ( against ice) or indeed , feeding hens, so that their egg shells maintain quality. Hens need grit for their digestive process.

Humans don't normally eat grit on this side of the Atlantic, although the French ( known here as Frogs) eat snails. These are not gritty.

In Texas our chickens eat "grit" too, but humans eat "grits." :) I think they are called grits because of the course way the corn is ground. - ElBúho, Dec 31, 2013
