Grits & eggs...a hunters breakfast?

[lpcjon2]

Hunt it,just wait till Biggie see's that post! I guess the yogurt guys get together at the BMW dealership and swap toppings.      

Biscuits and gravy is the next best thing since being in the womb.

Grits?

Tried 'em once, could not figure out when
to quit chewing. Grits is right up there
with tofu and soy milk I reckon, ya'all  

[Ron LaClair]

OK I just had lunch...homemade bread sliced thick with butter, mayonnaise and cold chicken. Topped it off with a tall cold glass of buttermilk.

Now I know that a lot of y'all... (Y'all?...I never use that word)       :confused:    ...don't like buttermilk but I got hooked on it when I was a young'en on the farm. I used to sit under the old willow tree and churn butter. Afterwards  the buttermilk went in the ice box (yes I said ice box, we didn't have an electric refrigerator)

For you northerners, SOP is a way of absorbing all of the juicy stuff left on your plate after you have eaten all of the more solid parts.  Always save your bisquit for last for the sopping!!!!

Grits, livermush or sausage (none of that bacon nonsense...takes half a pound before it even starts to fill ya up!!) and hashbrowns or homefries and a couple eggs over easy with the yaller part busted and mixed in your grits....aint no way wrong way to eat grits.

Or biscuits and gravy!!!!!!!!!!


Hunt it...you're not from France or Holland or somewhere are ya?....yogurt and oatmeal with blueberries??.........Oatmeal is good....yogurt and fruit for breakfast?  :( ..... :D

Ron, there are "grits" and then there are "GRITS"!!   It's all in how they're flavored up -if you will.  A white clump of unbuttered grits aren't at the top of my list, however, warm-em up and give them a little sweet colorization and count me in!  Some folks hate them but a few are flat addicted to the grains.  Some of you know Byron Ferguson's son Zach, who's full grown now and builds bows.  We're old friends so he won't mind if I tell something on him:^(  When Zach was about 11 or 12 we were all having breakfast at a local KY Cracker Barrel Restaurant.   Byron and Wanda were buying us all breakfast that morning so, being a nice guy I didn't order the high-end meal with all the trimmings:^(  When it came time for young Zach to order he kept insisting on extra grits . . . I mean the kid was determined to have all the grits he could shove down. He didn't seem to notice that the meal included anything else.  Byron gave him the "evil eye" and basically told him that one bowl would do.  NO WAY!  The young fellow was crushed and could be heard asking for more grits (quietly, where mom and dad couldn't hear him) throughout the meal.  Did that boy love grits! He was heartbroken.  Hopefully you won't get to that point Ron.

My first experience with grits was my first day in the Army. I had no idea what they were, we were served them every day and I could never get a taste for them. My breakfast of choice while hunting is oatmeal with peanut butter and honey ... so good!

[Mudd]

Hey folks, all joking aside if you want a real good camp breakfast try this.

Fry up some mackerel patties until they are good and crispy on the outside then crumble them up in your oatmeal, apply sugar to taste and of course ample amounts of butter.

Or you can forgo the oatmeal and just slather them with butter and good maple syrup.

Hmmmm!! I get hungry just thinking about it.

God bless, Mudd

[Wannabe1]

Mackerel and Oatmeal! Yuuuuuuuk!! That's definitely some kinda Yankee eatin right there.  

No disrespect Mudd.   :D

[jmack]

The Army also introduced me to grits, and they served them just like Jesus, Texans, and Chuck Norris eats them - with butter and sugar! It was an everyday staple. How do you animals eat them with salt, pepper, onions, and cheese?

[Ron LaClair]

Mackerel??? what's that?? I don't think we have that here in the north...   :confused: ... I suppose anything on oatmeal to make it eatable would be OK

Good God, people! I grew up in Louisiana, and my parents were from South Mississippi. So, to me grits aren't good or bad - - they just are.

Down here when I was growing up, if a fellow married a woman who couldn't make biscuits or didn't eat grits, the other women in the family would shame her to death.

If you went into a cafe down here in the 1970's and ordered Yogurt oatmeal and blueberries or fried mackerel patties for breakfast, someone would have jumped up and tried to whoop ya for being a yankee, or a deviant or both.

I stayed up in the NE for about a year when I was younger, and one redneck friend of mine had been up there for the better part of 3 years - he was a little homesick. It's hard to find good food up there. Anyway, he went into some cafe up there one morning when he wasn't in a real good mood and ordered off the menu - one egg with bacon. They brought him an egg on a bagel. He went postal. Told 'em they could take there bleepity bleepin stale donuts and stick 'em where the sun don't shine.... good times.

Mackerel Isn't that crab bait.They are way oily. And how do you get them in Missouri they are in the northeast Atlantic and the Pacific?

[JustinNC]

grits with a little salt a lot of pepper and a lot of butter is all that is really needed to live...and what a fine life it would be!! Yall Army people just don't know how well you had it if you had somebody cook you grits every morning.

[buckeye_hunter]

Greasy mackerel in the morning.... that could leave you an easy trail to follow back out of the woods ..... No breadcrumbs needed!

[Chris Surtees]

Nothing like good ol' grits, fresh eggs from the hen house, pork sausage patties courtesy of the local feral swine, toast, and ample amounts of hot coffee to start the morning off.

I am not much of a breakfast eater but I never pass up the above meal.

[Sharptop]

Having grown up below the Macon-Dixie line grits were always present but I couldn't stand them until I started spicing them up. Cook the grits add some garlic half way through, after cooking add half and half or cream to taste along with sharp chedder cheese and black pepper. A world of difference.You can whip up the grits also to make it fluffier before adding the extras.

One of my favorites is to then add some sauteed shrimp at the end.

Naw, now, I'm with Muddy on this.

If 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! Smoked herring & smoked mackerel, either on their own, or served on toast with enough butter to choke a goat. That right there is some of th best, fresh food you will ever, ever eat & it's so tasty it's beyond belief. It's one of those little, local places that doesn't sell anywhere else. They don't pack there fish in anything but newspaper. They're so old-fashioned (They've been in business smoking fish since the 1830s) that H.M. Government (Ltd.) won't let them sell anywhere but out of their door.

It's the one of the only things I miss about living there.

Ok, how bad is this? What ARE grits?
I've only ever heard of them, don't believe I've ever even been close to them. I'm willing to embarsss myself in front you folks, but face to face in the super market is another thing...y'all.
Did I get that right?
The hunt breakfast is eggs, bacon, deer sausage (hot mexican) homefries, toast/jam and coffee. When the companys here, we add pancakes, REAL maple syrup and if we're really putting on the dog - a trout or 2.
