A Florida Woman is behind bars for allegedly striking her boyfriend in the head with a sauce pan “containing freshly cooked grits,” according to a felony complaint.
Investigators say Dereise Johnson, 49, and the victim were arguing yesterday morning when she struck the man with a metal sauce pan inside the couple’s St. Petersburg residence.
This is a common practice in many black communities down here. It regularly happens in the Birmingham, Montgomery, and Mobile areas (rural communities too). It is called "gritting". More times than not, the "victim" will be sleeping in the bed when a pan of boiling-sticky grits are dumped on the face, head, or sometime on the genitals. Unlike scalding water, the grits remain and continue to burn. This practice usually involves a man who has been unfaithful or abusive towards his wife or girlfriend. Sometimes it is just carried out by a crazy woman who thinks her man is cheating on her.

I'm guessing she's a really good cook, people love to eat her meals, and the unlucky ones piss her off.
