I'm usually a steak, eggs, and taters guy in the morning. The steak of coarse being venison. Cold cereal or oatmeal just doesn't stay with me and I'm hungry again in an hour.
Lately I've been having grits and eggs for breakfast and I've grown to like em. I'm thinkin that this would be a good stick to your ribs meal to have before hitting the woods in the morning. What say you southern boys? Can a Yankee survive on such a meal for more than an hour in the cold northern woods?
Post by: Mudd on August 10, 2010, 09:48:00 AM
I'm super glad you found something you like for breakfast that'll stick to your ribs but for my part.. gimme some good ole oatmeal w/bacon crumbled in it. Shoot! I'd even take a bowl of rice with some sugar and butter over grits.
I know in advance that I'll get blasted for this especially when Butch sees this. He swears by grits and some other nasty foods...lol
Ron please don't take this personally but in the spirit it was written. I'm just hoping to get you back on the right path my friend...lol

I'm not a southern boy, but I have had grits and eggs for breakfast before hunting. I have also had eggs and taters same situation. I would say hunger-wise you won't know the difference and I don't miss many meals! :readit:

Just a warning to you Ron, you might start to notice a draw when you talk or the need to spit just because you can. If you start using the words "ain't or ya'll" don't worry about it. You will soon start to notice a desire to live down here if you ain't careful.

I spied a small town cafe and talked my wife into trying it for breakfast. I ordered coffee and ice water, two eggs over easy, bacon and toast. When the waitress brought our food out my plate had "cream of wheat" in it. I asked why it wasn't in a bowl. The waitress looked at me like a was a fool.
I said to her "Where I grew up we eat our cream of wheat in a bowl with milk and sugar." She said "Honey, that ain't cream of wheat, that's grits!" She told me to put some salt and pepper on it and eat it with my eggs. I asked for some Tabasco sauce. She brought it to the table and I put some on my eggs and on the grits. I found the grits to be good for breakfast and I've been eating them since that early January morning in 1971. We've been in SC since March 1976, so there's not a whole lot of options down here other than grits.

Ron, how do you cook your grits? Do you like them regular, creamy or al dente?Joey, since I'm a fairly new "Grits eater", I've been eating the instant kind (cuz that's what the wife bought)...stir it, cover and cook for 5-7 min...smother in butter, sea salt N pepper... eat with runny eggs.
Since I like the old fashioned kind of rice that you cook for 20 minutes, I'm gonna get some regular grits and cook em longer. Most people are in such a hurry that they go for the instant stuff. When it comes to food, I've got the time to wait for something if waitin is gonna make it better....steak being the exception...black on the outside..body temperature on the inside.... :campfire:

I cannot & will not ever get used to grits.
Eeuurcghh.
It's like licking a hot paving slab covered in algae.
A real breakfast, a Manly, Manly, Man's breakfast consists of Coffee, eggs (sunny side up or scrambled) sausage, steak & beans (fried up in the bacon fat) Toast; 2 slices an inch thick, more coffee & a honey bun or crispy cream donut to finish.
Actually that' maybe why I'm such a fat bastard.
Maybe mueseli in future.

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.

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.

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.

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.

When I go to the Mississippi delta, the waitress just asks if you want the sweet tea, and if you say yes, they bring you a jug of it. I don't know what happens if you say no.

Hot cracklin corn bread and buttermilk can make a meal.
Our mackerel came in a can cause it's northern fish. When our radio station came on the air the 1st song played was "Dixie" followed by the National Anthem, so don't be calling me no "yankee"!!..lol
Yankees never chopped or picked any cotton and I grew up doing both. Enough so I know now that I'd rather rob gas stations that have to do it all over again..lol
We always had choices at our table when I was growing up. You could have beans, cornbread and fried potatoes or you could have fried potatoes, cornbread and beans... al served with sweeeet tea. Sweet tea was the drink for the kids 3 meals a day but the adults had coffee at breakfast and coffee and tea the other two meals.
We lived high on the hawg!! Plus we could hunt as long as we needed because those foods stuck with a man.

Corn is heat in the belly, and strength for the whole day. Corn is what kept both Indian and longhunter out on the trail for weeks. They didn't pack along no freeze dried Potato Buds.

Born and raised my whole life here in TN. No grits for me, thank you ! They are really good if you simply have butter and sugar with a tad of grits mixed in for roughage.
When the wifey makes cornbread for supper, ( that is dinner for you Yanks !), and I walk thru the kitchen I has to turn up the buttermilk jug and get me a swaller or two. That is what goes in the biscuits in the mornins too. No toast for us if it can be helped.
Right now our summertime breakfast consists of the following....
3 backyard chicken eggs over easy with the yellers good and runny
6 pieces of crisp turkey bacon or the breast strips of the above backyard chickens boyfriends. A.K.A. fryers.
3 "cathead" buttermilk biscuits.... 1 for soppin yer yellers and 2 for dessert. Dessert is aforementioned biscuits slathered in, " cow salve" A.K.A. butter and homemade blackberry jam or local raw honey.
2 thick slices of homegrown, walk out the back door, just picked, "maters" A.K.A. tomatoes covered in fresh ground sea salt
3 slices of fresh in season canteloupe are optional if the biscuit cook overslept and you are forced to eat toast.
Gravy is reserved for lazy weekend breakfasts and consists of turkey bacon, biscuits and gravy only. In the summertime you gots to eat canteloupe with gravy over it. I was always told as a young man that it would, " Put lead in yer pencil " JMHO

What is the matter with you NO CAMS??? Bacon comes from PIGS!!! Other than that, it sounds good. We eat lots of grits and all of the other stuff you mentioned here, especially the ol' cathead biscuts.

I thought you talked funny this past weekend Ron. Wish you would had me over for that fish breakfast you talked about tho. here goes my take.
You all should not be so fussy. TURKEY BACON is contrary, The only thing I read in this line up that I can turn down is coconut pie,(again,contrary). I might have had me some of that newspaper wrapped fish that robtattoo spoke of,I ate so much I still taste it on a cool fall morning. surgar don't goin tea but if it did then I drink it. super IS the last meal of the day,except for the snacks that start just after super. okra ain't food so it should be left out of this thread. dang I am hungry. I got go eat me some fried chicken with mashed taters and cobbed corn.
Chuck
P.S.

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.

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.

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....

Bring on the turkey fries Mudd
My favorite is a form of German head cheese for breakfast with eggs and toast. Made with a boiled hogs head, beef heart, beef tongue ground up and mixed with equal parts of oatmeal and then salt and pepper and allspice to taste.
Oh yum yum.
It slings like hash and tastes oh so good, (you have to acquire a taste. Especially when getting around the little hairy parts from the hogs head. It gos really good with eggs over medium.....
Quite tasty in deer camp after a morning of hunting :thumbsup:
All the best

I used to hate it when mom was gone for whatever reason but most of the time it was to have another youngin. I'm the second oldest of 11 natural born siblings and the times she was gone we had some pitiful meals.
That man tried to feed us kids boiled turtle eggs you could play ping pong with..lol Oatmeal that would put any hide glue to shame and biscuits you could go to war with.
Thank God for lite bread and a little country store where with a signing of my name I could buy something fit to eat(honey buns and chocolate milk)

'course, I know for a fact that ArkyBob won't drink buttermilk. I've tried to convert him but no such luck. He does make a mean gravy though.
Grits were always a staple in my house growing up.
Grits with butter and sugar and milk as a kid.
Grits with butter salt and pepper as I got older.
Garlic cheese grits as a side dish to fried fish and fried "okry".
and, yes, even instant grits when camping. :dunno:

Young-uns might eat their grits with butter and sugar down here, but us grown-ups don't want 'em sweet. Save that for the tea.
Breakfast after a successful hunt in this house consists of tenderloin, eggs over easy, grits, and either toast or real biscuits. Salt the grits while they cook, add lots of butter when they're done, and pepper them liberally on the plate. Homemade peach preserves for the bread. Yum!

Notice there was an absence of innards, feet, testicles and heads. The Good Lord made animals out of meat for us to eat. Innards are for keeping the meat fresh till I can kill it, feet are made to help it move around and fatten up for the aformentioned kill, testicles are to make more meat and the head is to make all that stuff work together... Ain't none of that stuff made for eatin'.

You might be able to take one of the small lumps and make a nocking point for your string . Once you let it dry you wouldn't be moving it for sure.
It not only will stick to your ribs but anything else it touches too. I know of which I speak since I sometimes had to wash the pot that wa almost ruined by it every time mom made the stuff..lol

I still can't believe you'd put mackerel patties in oatmeal. a fella had it right before. Canned mackerel is only fit for baiting traps. That is if you want to catch skunks & possums. If you have a good breakfast with lots of grits, you can shoot a 10lb. heavier bow & hold it for 10 seconds longer than you need to. You can also take a dull broadhead, put the edge between your thumb & finger nails & pull the arrow thru & pull off enough steel to make it razor sharp. Won't eat grits but will eat possum bait. beats all I ever heard.

All in all, it's actually very versatile!

That was all going so well until you mentiond the grits.
Only problem I honestly find with a manly, manly breakfast, is that after a half hour in the stand on a cold morning, just as the warming rays of the sun breaches the treetops, the full tummy starts to have a soporific effect & I fall asleep!
I may need to get a less comfortable stand, that Summit Titan is like a tree-mounted lounger! I think I spent more time sleeping in it than I di awake! :laughing:

Grew up in thye south. Grits were a given at breakfast time. I like them with salt, crumbled bacon or sausage and butter the best. Cheese grits come in a close 2nd.
While in basic training 25 years ago I pal'd aroud with a fellow from Michigan. After about a week of eating grits during breakfast he thought they were mighty fine eating. Shortly he asked me "What is this stuff?" His next qestion was "What else do you guys eat in the south?" At that moment I knew there was culinary hope for him.

All this talk about food in the morning and time to make it. If I had time after I've hit the snooze 5 times I'd make something but usually it's light enough to shoot on the field edges by the time my sorry butt gets out the door in the morning (not a morning person)!
Unless it’s in a wrapper and made of granola it ain’t going to make it! The granola bars discussed here are usually washed down with a Diet Pepsi or if I’m feeling extra tired it’s a full-fledged Mt. Dew!
I was in the military and stationed in Virginia (they said I was a Yankee and something told me they weren’t kidding)!!! I don’t like coffee or hot chocolate and I put ice in my milk!
I have never said or claimed to be normal or been accused of it…and according to my wife I’m far from it. :rolleyes: I’m not a morning person and I’m writing this at 3:40ish in the morning, this is usually why I need Mt. Dew and something fast on the way to the stand!

Boil some water. Dump the instant grits in a bowl. Add a sprinkle of bacon bits, dash of salt and some pepper for a quick breakfast before hitting the woods.

As for the snails mentioned above by frankwright, don't worry about not eating them. I will gladly eat your share. I love 'em.
Just don't try to get me to eat liver. That was the first time (age five) that I ever openly defied my Dad and won. I had a sore butt, but I did NOT eat the liver. I'm now 60 and still won't touch it. Don't want brains in my eggs either.

I think my dislike for this goes back to a hospital visit in 1967. I ran a fever of 106 degrees for three days, and went without solid food for 5 days. When I got to the point that the doctor would let me eat solid food, I wanted - you guessed it - eggs bacon, grits and biscuits. But the eggs had the pork brains scrambled into them, which was something I had never tried before. What a disappointment, but I was so hungry I ate it all. Just don't care for it though.
Essentially I don't eat much organ meat, except in baloney, potted meat, and other such delicacies.

Big scoop of grits, two REAL biscuits; cover everything with sausage gravy (have yet to find or make a better sausage than Blue&Gold brand). Add to that two eggs over medium with crispy hashbrowns. Apply A-1 to the hashbrowns liberally.
Wash it all down with COLD milk then a good cup of coffee.
THAT is this hunters favorite "goin' huntin'" breakfast. Unfortunatly more often than not I settle for a Honey Bun and truck-stop coffee.

Camocowboy, scrapple is not made with pigs' eyes. I know this because I was one of the folks removing "edibles" from pigs' heads prior to making the scrapple. I removed the eyes and arranged them attractively on a stump, whereupon a little girl asked for and gathered them all up with much glee, and ran off to play with them with her friends.
Tique, grits are a low-fat food, and a lot of folks fight that with great gusto!
Now, on with the truth!

Y'know, following this each day makes me realize that while we'ze pokin fun at po' Mudd, GRITS (and I do like em) might just be the "spaghetti" of the South.
I mean, s'getti ain't got taste for cardboard all by it'self. It's claim to fame and delight is that it's a darned find "carrier" for all sorts of fine sauces and such.
Screening through all the posts, it comes to mind that Grits mentioned are always slathered up in a bunch of other stuff so's maybe theze just like spaghetti... a good carrier for other tastes that don't get in the road of what yez eatin!??

Just back from the hunting trip to the Delta River. Had grits served up with fresh caught Grayling, for breakfast. Was very tasty.
Also found mixing a package of cheese flavored grits with the bacon flavored grits makes for a fine combination.

My mother was mean as a snake when it came to us eating what ever it was she put on the table. She never seemed to mind one bit if you decided to skip a meal because your taste buds didn't favor what she had on her menu.
She said "eat it or let it alone but keep your grumbling to yourself or leave the table." She also kept us informed that she wasn't a restaurant that took meal orders, she was just the cook and the only cook in her kitchen and you'd eat what she had to offer or go hungry. She fell short of being a panderer!!!!! ...lol

Grits is a food of Native American origin that is common in the Southern United States; it mainly consists of coarsely ground hominy (dried maize kernels which have been treated with an alkali), or nixtamalized. It is sometimes called sofkee or sofkey from the Creek word. [1][2] The name 'grits' likely derives from the Northern European grit gruels. Nixtamalized? Treated with an alkali?

Like I said before, I have eaten both Grits and taters with eggs before going out for a morning hunt. Grits or potatos will stay with you while hunting just the same, but why would you CHOOSE grits over taters?
And don't forget to throw in the chocolate(bar or pie) with a coke to wash it all down!

Yup. Scrapple. Puddins. Pan Puddin. Blood Sausage. Blood soup.

Never quite thought of it all puddled up in a pan to be like dog vomit, but hey...since the only of that I eat is scrapple (and ticular bout that), ya can't make me want it LESS.
Still think Grits is S'uthin spaghetti. Nothing of a real taste it'self, but lives in infamy for what's put on it, mixed in it, or poured over it.
That ain't necessarily a bad thing... :)

My mother use to make the same cornmeal mush when we lived in Pa.
I started doing the same thing with grits when we moved to Fl.
They both taste the same when fried and syrup is added.
I honestly believe the only difference between the two is the color. One being yellow and the other being white.
I've even been known to pour syrup on a bowl of grits when eating breakfast out around home. Get some strange looks, but then I explain about the cornmeal mush. Have actually gotten a few folks to try it, and they like it.
I believe Italian Polenta is the same as cornmeal mush and grits with a different name.
Have no idea how any of this is Trad related?

Mom's folks were the grits eaters. Originally down by way of Tenn., Old Kentuck then into Indian Territory. Dad's folks are from SW Arkansas, through South Carolina and Alabama so it was rice for breakfast (with milk and sugar) and rice for supper (with gravey).
Grits are like a lot of other foods. You like them or you don't. My Dad doesen't like watermelon. Can't stand even the smell of it. Who doesen't like WATERMELON?
My wife is about as German as you can get, without actually being from Germany. She doesen't really like pickles and can't stand dark beer... go figure.
I have to throw this in though. Most folks I know who say they don't like grits, have only ever had the instant kind. Once I make REAL grits for them and grate in some asiago cheese and a small splash of white wine as they cook, most (not all) change their minds.
