Damn Yankees in the South #2

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...

Won't do the fried bologna...but slice up some hotdogs 'bout 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick, fry 'em up in butter and I'll try that in grits.
 
I can't believe that some of you southern boys haven't mentioned red-eye gravy yet. ??????
What the hell is that?

Says the damn yankee transplant that doesn't use google.


Don't count the Southern boys out yet...…(and when describing us by regional name the "S" is capitalized.) Go back to post #11 gentlemen. Those red-eye gravy bases were effectively covered right back on the first page of this thread...…..:D
 
Don't you dare ever put sugar on them grits.
That could get you hurt.
That's what yankees do to them. Ruins a perfectly good dish.
Maybe simple grits with butter and shrimp, or maybe I'll get crazy and do something else. Gonna be a hella lot of approptriatin' going on here.
Mmmm, a good bowl of low country shrimp and grits is about as close to heaven on earth as you will ever get. For most of us, about as close to heaven as we ever will get anyway. :D

A few quotes I grew up hearing.
- The South is a place, north is a direction.
- There are two kinds of yankees, damn yankees and ....
Oops, this isn't the basement I best stop. William Faulkner has some good ones.:rolleyes:
 
Well I have no clue whether the little grits package I purchased at Lowe's is actually authentic or not, but with the cheese flavor it tasted good. I was thinking this opens up a lot of possibilities. Maybe simple grits with butter and shrimp, or maybe I'll get crazy and do something else. Gonna be a hella lot of approptriatin' going on here.
Yup, my wife loves shrimp and grits, she is type 2 diabetic so she has to use portion control on the grits.

A Yankee is one who lives next door.

A Damn Yankee is the one that marries your sister.
 
D*** Just d***. What is this world coming to. White d*** cheddar grits.

Grits are meant to be plain corn. Yellow or white corn. I prefer white. Only condiments you put in grits is butter and salt. Nothing else PERIOD.

Put enough butter in them to turn them yellow.

NO wonder he ate the whole bag. He was eating cheese.

Best meal my wife has made was pork chops, green beans and grits. That is a mighty fine meal.

Jeez.

No salt for me, butter and some pepper.
 
I'm what I (tongue in cheek) call a GD Yankee, 'cos I ain't never goin' back. I knew I was home within months of signing in to Bragg. I will never like grits (nor boiled peanuts), but I surely do love me a sip from an ol' fruit jar after throwin' down some 'Q.
