Stick to your ribs southern style breakfast

[sawguy21]

Give me breakfast sausage, eggs over easy, hash browns with chives or onions and I am one happy camper. Toast on the side and coffee with no fixins. I tried grits but won't go back to them, to be fair they were probably instant.

This mornings breakfast should qualify for admission to this topic!

Biscuit and gravy, fried eggs, home fried taters, your choice of ham, bacon, or sausage. That's the breakfast "special" in any roadside diner in this part of the world.

My arteries throb reading these posts, including mine.
Oatmeal, with raisins, walnuts, cinamon, a little sugar and milk this morning.
Arteries feel better already

I really miss a plate of huevos rancheros, very scarce here and good makin's are hard to find. Canned refried beans are mush.

Im at it again .
My southern pals will probably think that there is hope for me yet, while my glaciated friends will shudder in horror.
No bacon this morning, just eggs toast and grits with a small OJ
no picture tho.
Mixed the grits and eggs in the bowl that I microwaved the grits in.
Was OK but looked a mess.
better with bacon as is most everything.
I may have posted this before, but my intro to grits came in Weldon NC in 1959 fresh out of forestry school when posted to there with the Osmose Wood preserving company treating standing utility poles.
This was my first experience in the south , never having been below the Mason Dixon line before.
Lived in a boarding house run by an old gentleman named Eugene Daniels who's accent was so thick that this yankee nearly needed a translator.
He suggested a diner to me which I went to for breakfast my first morning there.
I t was run by a Greek fellow with a heavy southern and greek accent which further complicated my understanding.
of the English language.
Ordered bacon toast and eggs, he asked if I wanted greets, and I thought why not only interested in filling my hungry 21 year old belly
I did ask him what greets are and he explained the to me.
I really dont remember what my first impression was but I ate them nearly every morning while there and suffered no ill effects, except some light headedness.
Next posted to Virginia where they were still prevalent in another Greek diner in Waynesboro.
More greets which I then knew were grits.
Then to Pennsylvania and grits were scarce there and finally Washington DC area, again a scarcity of grits, and being married then ate mostly at home..
Left that employment and returned to NY in '62, grits practically non existent but I have managed to survive since then with only a very few places serving them.
I no longer get light headed when eating them.
BTW breakfast was $.75 in '59 and my wages $1.25 per hr.

I have had grits in Michigan coming back from the Pig Roast.  Customsawyer and I stopped for breakfast at the Bob Evans restaurant in Midland, MI and had breakfast.  I was surprised to see them there.

I ain't even going to pretend that this fits in this category.  Y'all are missing out no matter what your geo-circumstance.  (my phrase, I'm claiming it file it under squirrelganoff in google) ;D

I always like a nice sliced of local cured ham, not the factor stuff stuffed with water and other stuff, toast or pancake and sometimes an egg to go along. Just about to fry me up some of that local ham.
