Damn Yankees in the South #2

I love the South & everything about it, but I can't do grits. We were practically force fed the damned things at the Fort Benning Academy for Wayward Boys & I can not stand them.
 
This is just about the most entertaining thread I have read in a very long time!

Want to stir the pot? Start a thread about BBQ, nanner pudding, or Mayonnaise and it will blow to epic proportions. I ve seen those go for pages and pages.

Ever done anything like a spicey sausage on top of grits? I'm thinking about a nice cajun or Chorizo on top of cheese grits. And somewhere my life insurance company and cardiologist are cringing.

My kids like kielbasa. Maybe I'll try that too.

Never have but it would have to be good.

This grit thing could be a problem. I'll be a grillin' and a smokin' to come up with different flavors to throw on top of them. I'll have to find some veggie options too.

You do know that grits are the "1911's" of breakfast foods. Highly customizable.[emoji41]

I'm thinking dinner right now. Haven't gotten to the breakfast ideas yet. Sometimes I am heavily time constrained in the AM.

You realize there's two of you. One that embraces wherever you came from and won't let go, and one who desperately wants to be a southerner, and not just any southerner, but a bubba southerner. Just click your heels together and say "Bless your heart" three times, and you'll be there.

Vegemite....now, there's an acquired taste.

Indeed!

Mostly, I suspect, because it's nowhere near what people here would expect a spread to be like.

I'll tell you what Vegemite and Marmite would be good for...a beef bouillon substitute. It's excellent for that.

Well, there you go. Wrong again. There is defintely more than 2 of me. I embrace some Yankee food and geography. And even some of the people. Laugh at some some silly Southern pride, and embrace traditional southern food and morals. Then there are times when I attempt to to spare ALL yankees from the blame for all that ails the South. Some of it is homegrown. But mostly I don't take the internet as seriously as some. Unless it is food and gun related. :D

This people shit is comlicated dammit.

It will give your cardiologist a heart attack just thinking about it. [emoji23]

You'll be alright, bless your heart.
You buy purty 1911's, and that right there covers a multitude of sin.

But then again I sell pretty 1911's so I am all fudd up! :(

Not so.

I sell Mustangs I've owned for less than a year, twice in a row, that I looked for for three years or more each time. It means something. I just don't know what, lol.

I think I am just getting older and more practical. I now know that the Baer won't help me shoot any better or defend myself any better than my $500 CZ due to my limitations, not the guns. So I have gone more practical and basic. If I can hit center of mass at 25 yards I am happy. If I can make ahead shot closer up that is good too. Plus I habe started to value rifles more, so handguns are expendable to some extant.

I have had Grits with hot dogs cut up over then when I was Broke. we were poor but we always had grits and eggs. I have had grits and mustard sardines or grits and Treet (we could not afford the original SPAM)
The only thing I swore I would never eat after I grew up was Potted Meat (man I hated that stuff )

That would be bologna for me. Not from growing up, but from the very earliest days of my first marriage.

After you finish cooking up a bunch of country ham, you add coffee to the pan, scrape up the bottom bits, add some butter to smooth it out and serve it over grits or the country ham. Just ignore the fact that the salt content is about 10x what is recommended o_O

As a general rule, if it tastes good, it's bad for you.

Born and raised in South Carolina and I hate grits. I hate fried ocra. I hate pimento cheese. Collards are an abomination. Peaches should be fed to goats.

You left out chicken bog.
 
Grits with butter and pepper (I have to watch the salt). Add scrambled eggs mashed up and stirred up in there. If you want some good eats, mix up hog liver puddin' in there (not related to nanner puddin'). Alternative meats: fried baloney, fried Treet (we didn't have Spam either), bacon, sausage (link or patty). If you need to carbo-load, pile it on a piece of toast. Wash down with milk (we didn't do coffee back then). For dessert: pour ribbon cane or sorghum syrup over some home-churned butter, mash it up with a fork and mix it up, and sop it up with a biscuit. Sometimes we would poke a hole in the biscuit and pour syrup straight in there.

I could have helped Grandpa do "What's for supper?" on Hee-Haw...

Maybe we can start a thread to see which is better on liver puddin', whipped cream or meringue.
 
I knew there was no way this thread could make it more than two pages without...
9 v 45
Ford v Chevy
Glock v 1911
meringue v whipped cream
