Put sugar, cinnamon and butter on roasted plums, and they will love you.
Grits with hearty, salty seasoning indeed is more uncommon in Germany, siuch food usually gets a sweet seasoning.
However: cook oats in milk and cream, season it with chicken broth instant powder and some vegetables like carrot, celery and garden leek, and then the clou: add dry powder "Schabzigerklee" (
trigonella caerulea, I do not know the English name for it, maybe gipsy clover or bread clover?) to it.
Make sure you don't get bitten when serving it.
Guests tend to turn wild when smelling it, it often ends with them starting to fight over the last portions.
And be cautious when using it, if you get it on your skin, the scent will stay for many hours to come, it smells good but
very intense. Its hard to wash it off.
