Grits & eggs...a hunters breakfast?

[Bob Miller]

Grits and Buttermilk-------enough to make one sick,lol

[sendero25]

Grits, (white or yellow). Eggs, sunnyside up with bacon or sausage, a little hot sauce if it's cool outside!  Maybe, grits with diced breakfast ham and garlic....and after breakfast, when the day is done...(I'll sip a little Maker's Mark, or Jim Beam)...

Sir, I am only a barbarian when my wallet dictates!
I enjoy the finer things, but, I have a "top shelf taste" and a beer wallet!

I must beg to differ...lol "finer things" and "top shelf taste" are in no way to be associated with eating grits!...lol

Now Robtattoo has already vouched for his tastes when he stuck by the proper response to eating that... "ground up southern tofu"

I hope he feels the same way about hominy...lol

I can eat okra just about anyway it can be fixed and pickled pigs feet, or pickled eggs.

God bless,Mudd

PS: please remember, we're having fun here..lol and there's no personal judgment being made by me other than ones culinary tastes and lack of the same..lol

[Joshua Long]

taters,eggs,tabasco and refrigerator pickles. YUM!

[Sam McMichael]

I guess I am just Southern to the core. I simply do not want eggs and bacon if there are no grits to go with 'em. Also, are you Northern guys familiar with the term "scratch" biscuits? These are the ones that are mixed up from the basic ingredients rather than from a can. They are the only proper bread with a proper breakfast, and, yes, the best ones are made with buttermilk. So, if you really want to do it right,in the Southern style, try a couple of eggs, a rasher of bacon, GRITS (salt, pepper, and butter added), and scratch biscuits, all accompanied by STRONG black coffee. O.K. gentlemen, breakfast is served. You are welcome at my camp any time. Can't you feel the cholesterol count going up just thinking about all this?

Got to admit, though, some of the other things offered up sound mighty good, too. Hey, is there a Trad Gang cook book?

As for the whisky later, make mine a single malt.

Fellow Michigander here, and I got addicted to grits  when I was in basic training in Alabama.  Every time I go out for breakfast I hope they have some for me to get.

Never actually tried hominy. Pickled eggs are OK if I'm full of beer (proper Beer, Newcastle Brown for preference) but the idea of pickled feet turns me green. BLEURCH!  

[kbetts]

Man you're missin out.  Hot scrapple on toast with a messy egg.

[Mudd]

Oh Rob, I can't believe you'd turn your nose up at "trotters"!!! I also like boiled "trotters and ears" they go great in a pot of white or pinto beans. Of course you'd have to have cornbread(no sugar or sweetener of any kind added), fried tators, green beans, cole slaw, raw onions(vidalia preferred but purple other wise) a glass of cold milk(sweet or buttermilk, no matter) or sweet tea. All topped off with pecan pie with ice cream on top.

Now that's a supper for you!

God bless,Mudd

PS: This thread is almost killing me as I've been doing the Atkins Diet since June 1st..lol

[pickaspot]

It has done my heart good to see how a bunch of you yankee fellows have discovered the joy of a well prepared southern breakfast!

Nothing like a cat head biscuit (no "whop 'em canned biscuits please), fried tenderloin, eggs, and grits    

You know grits aint just for breakfast. Cooked up right and topped with a shrimp bisque they are mighty fine.

[gregg dudley]

Grits, they're not just for breakfast anymore!  Cheese grits and catfish, man oh man!
Better yet, try Paula Dean's recipe for shrimp 'n grits!  It'll make you slap your grandma!

[NoCams]

yep, my grandfather called 'em, " cardboard sleeve biscuits " ! He was old school for sure. He would not sit down to a meal without bread of some sort.... My grandmother, bless her heart made biscuits or cornbread almost everyday of her 90 yrs. If there were no left over biscuits from breakfast and she happen to not make a skillet of cornbread she would get my grandfather a piece of, " litebread " A.K.A. sandwich bread to appease him. Just in case the Yanks do not know what, "sweet milk " is here in the South that just be regular old milk.

[SELFBOW19953]

I was born and raised in Florida.  Grits was what we ate, for any meal-not just for breakfast.  Leftovers, became fried grits.  There was no such thing as instant grits, only grits.  Besides, instant grits just don't taste the same.  

To my mother's disappointment, I don't drink coffee, and I don't eat okra.  Okra is great-in anyone else's house but mine.  Good okra is like good beer or good coffee-an oxymoron!!!  I made my father's coffee when we camped-a level tablespoon for each cup and one for the pot.  The next cup I drink will be my first (I'm 58)!!  I can hardly stand the smell of coffee, much less the taste.  

To answer your original question, Ron, grits WILL stick to your ribs.  A healthy serving of grits and eggs, with the trimmings, before going out to your stand will last 5 or 6 hours.

All the southern folk postin on this thread, and yet not once has brains and eggs been uttered!  Kinda disappointin fellas.

Brains and eggs, a grilled porkchop or sausage patties, big bowl of grits in a ceramic bowl to keep the heat in, and for dessert, peanut butter and syrup scraped onto a biskit.

Keep a bottle of tabasco handy for the brains and eggs. And if there's any lumps in the grits, they go to the hounds.

[Billy]

OKAY,okay.... what about the color of grits?
Was once 'splained to me dat they oughta be the color of 'nan'r skins if'n they's gonna be right!!
as for tea..from a clear glass jug and 'bout two cups of sugar to the gallon.

that oatmeal,peanut butter and honey sounds interesting.

pickled pig's feet...that's taking "rooter to the tooter" a bit TOO far for me.

Bring on a butterscotch or peanut butter creme pie....

dang it, now I'm hongree..

[jmack]

Ok, for everyone asking what grits are... You know what hominy is? Well grits is dried and ground hominy. It's sifted, the finer parts are corn meal, and the coarse parts is grits. On a side, I do have to have a fresh, sun hot tomoato every morning with breakfast. I especially like fried squirrel brains with scrambled eggs, covered in gravy with sausage and biscuits. I haven't had them in a long while though with the warnings about squirrel brains carrying a form of mad cow disease. Always have a big bowl of grits with a little butter and sugar, and if there's biscuits and sausage but no gravy left, then it's peanut butter and honey mixed up real good, sopped up with a hot biscuit wrapped around the sausage, or even better, fried ham. Every once in a while we'll have fried spam and biscuits. Mmmmmmmmmm

[Sixby]

Grits with some pepper, salt and butter, Fried bisquits and gravy, some fried okra, wilted lettuce with bacon crumbles, a slice of grandma's hogshead cheese and cracklin cornbread in aome clabbered milk or homade buttermilk and man I'm as happy as a hog in the sunshine and independant as a hog on ice.

[Rogue Hammer]

I cant believe it 8 pages of grits and whats worse is I read them all. LOL

Seriously I dont know how any one can eat that big of breakfast and plan on hunting for the rest of the day. If I ate that much in the morning I would spend most of my time digging in my pack for toilet paper or finding a sunny spot to sleep off the belly ache.
