Tom, I run into one of YER kind in Jellicoe Ontario one spring while-a-chasen bars.  That ole Canadian fellar didn't know a grit from a gumdrop"^)  Sumbody do sum splaining and hep Tom out!

Mudd drinks sweet tee & doesn't eat grits, bread,rice,or banana pudding. Doesn't like cream pies. Known him for probably 13 years & until this day didn't know that he would put mackerel in oatmeal. I'm sorry Mudd. Even if you do shoot Hill bows, you're still weird. I wouldn't be a bit surprised to find out you don't like biscuits & gravy. I worry for you friend.

Someone needs to start another thread on the subject of SWEET TEA!

Where I live, when you go out to eat the waitress asks what you want to drink. If you say tea, there's a 80% chance she will ask if you want sweet or unsweet.

When I go to the Mississippi delta, the waitress just asks if you want the sweet tea, and if you say yes, they bring you a jug of it. I don't know what happens if you say no.

QuoteIf you ever get over to England, go to the North East port of Whitby. Down by the North pier is a little shack with a smokehouse. Go there & buy a bag of kippers & mackerel. You'll think you've died & gone to heaven  

After eatin em you'll probably smell like you died...  

Hey nobody likes buttermilk?    

grits, eggs and ham is a hunters jump start in the morning. Put a little butter, salt and pepper on everything except the ham and get-er-done

Ron,I use buttermilk in my cornbread!I hope Mudd doesn't put my cornbread down. If they put the good southern foods in those lean cuisine meals we would be in.
 Next week we will discuss collard greens and ocra...LOL

What about spam you have to have fried spam.  And whats wrong with mackral patties ? not sure of putting them in oat meal thats a little strange. Somthing they might do over in San Fransisco.

when i was over there in  2007 i tried Grits and i spat them out back on the plate man those things are in the same class as chiggers for me. not a nice thing. sorry ron

Ron-"Hey nobody likes buttermilk?" Dang! Like I said there's no accounting some folks taste or in this case, the lack thereof..lol

Hot cracklin corn bread and buttermilk can make a meal.

Our mackerel came in a can cause it's northern fish. When our radio station came on the air the 1st song played was "Dixie" followed by the National Anthem, so don't be calling me no "yankee"!!..lol

Yankees never chopped or picked any cotton and I grew up doing both. Enough so I know now that I'd rather rob gas stations that have to do it all over again..lol

We always had choices at our table when I was growing up. You could have beans, cornbread and fried potatoes or you could have fried potatoes, cornbread and beans... al served with sweeeet tea. Sweet tea was the drink for the kids 3 meals a day but the adults had coffee at breakfast and coffee and tea the other two meals.

We lived high on the hawg!! Plus we could hunt as long as we needed because those foods stuck with a man.

God bless,Mudd

PS: Butch you know how much I love biscuits and gravy and like a few others I know, I resemble that remark..lol

Corn beats taters any day of the week.
I like grits with bacon crumbled in them, eggs on the side and a couple of slices of toast. That will hold me until 2 in the afternoon, when I want to sit and change my socks for dry ones anyway. A bit of jerky and water then, and I will drag your deer for you come sundown.

Corn is heat in the belly, and strength for the whole day. Corn is what kept both Indian and longhunter out on the trail for weeks. They didn't pack along no freeze dried Potato Buds.

Did anybody mention scrapple?

GRITS stands for (girls raised in the south)

You can put buttermilk in cornbread, but I like to put cornbread in my buttermilk. Tall glass, long spoon, ice cold buttermilk. Crumble the cornbread in the glass of buttermilk, have a seat in the recliner, turn the TV to a good huntin' or fishin' show, enjoy.

In lieu of a H/F show, a Braves game works, too.    :p

BTW, it's "okra". Where you from. Jursey?   :D

Ron,
Born and raised my whole life here in TN. No grits for me, thank you ! They are really good if you simply have butter and sugar with a tad of grits mixed in for roughage.

When the wifey makes cornbread for supper, ( that is dinner for you Yanks !), and I walk thru the kitchen I has to turn up the buttermilk jug and get me a swaller or two. That is what goes in the biscuits in the mornins too. No toast for us if it can be helped.

Right now our summertime breakfast consists of the following....

3 backyard chicken eggs over easy with the yellers good and runny

6 pieces of crisp turkey bacon or the breast strips of the above backyard chickens boyfriends. A.K.A. fryers.

3 "cathead" buttermilk biscuits.... 1 for soppin yer yellers and 2 for dessert. Dessert is aforementioned biscuits slathered in, " cow salve" A.K.A. butter and homemade blackberry jam or local raw honey.

2 thick slices of homegrown, walk out the back door, just picked, "maters" A.K.A. tomatoes covered in fresh ground sea salt

3 slices of fresh in season canteloupe are optional if the biscuit cook overslept and you are forced to eat toast.

Gravy is reserved for lazy weekend breakfasts and consists of turkey bacon, biscuits and gravy only. In the summertime you gots to eat canteloupe with gravy over it. I was always told as a young man that it would, " Put lead in yer pencil " JMHO

i hate grits too.when i lived in asheviile nc you got grits with every meal.i tried to like them.give me eggs,bacon and fried apples.don't forget biscuts and gravy.now that will stick to your ribs.and you don't have to eat the grits.

Though I live in Iowa now, I was born and raised in Arkansas and I'm here to tell you that grits are great.  Lather 'em up with butter, add some over easy eggs and sugar cured country ham and man... that is high livin'.   Real redeye gravy on the grits makes the breakfast absolutely unbeatable.  Makes my mouth water just thinking about it.
Joey Ward, up top, has got it straight on the buttermilk and cornbread.  Anyone can send me a pm and I'll share the"Hall Family Southern Style Cornbread" recipe.

Sweet Georgia Brown!
Jimmy, ain't no wonder your boy's sproutin' like summer corn!
That's more food'n I eat in a day!

We never ate grits in our house. To far north of that imaginary line Ya know. Lots of Oatmeal with everything imaginable in it instead.

Never had a home cooked breakfast from Mom that didn't have some kind of gravy with home-made biscuits or steamed bread. But we did eat Scrapple Killy.

I found My Mothers recipe for it the other day and plan on making some soon.

Mudd,
you must have been abused as a child.... mackerel for breakfast.... ? Whazzz up with that ? If you are ever down South in God's country c'mon by and after eating a proper breakfast you will throw rocks at those cans of mackerel, haha ! No don't get me wrong, we eat our fair share of salmon patties, but not for breakfast bud. Mackerel is used for coon trap bait !

Did you ever in your wildest dreams think you would hear, " Sweet Gawga Brown " coming out of Robtattoo's pie hole..... Now we has got to teach him hows to spell, " Gawga "
