OMG, you are SUCH a 'bama! Brains, yet!

[NeoCaveman]

Eggs fried in bacon grease - that is much better than the cooking in Yankeeland.

Only way I fry an egg. This Yankeeland must be New England or something.

[CholeraJoe]

I et chitlins with fried okra, too, ma'am.

They're pig's intestines cut into small pieces, breaded and deep-fried.

i pinged you to the Galatoire's thread, mr. N.O.'Bama.

what disturbs me the most is that i can picture this completely.

Why dirty up perfectly serviceable glassware and plates when you can avoid it? Already, by chugging out of the milk and eating out of the skillet, I can avoid washing one glass and one plate. If I eat off the spatula, I avoid washing a fork as well.

And you are saving the Environment. Just think of all the water used to clean dishes, some poor fish no one ever heard of might vanish from lack of water. We have to work hard to save mother earth so that when the sun finally dies out there will be plenty of life here to destroy :)

Spinich greens with hot bacon grease poured on it was my Dad's favorite. I loved brains with eggs until I found out it was pork brains. Aso balony gravy over buttemilk biscuit's.

While we were anything but poor, my favorites included sugar sandwiches for lunch and dried beef gravy on toast for dinner! I also liked Quisp cereal and riding my bike to the drug store to spend my meager allowance on Bub's Daddy bubblegum, pixie stix, B-B Bats,sweetarts and jawbreakers. Ah, those were the days!

It seems amazing to me at times how when you look back it was always the simplest things that stick with us. I remember trips to the candy store, getting monster newspapers (monster Times I think) and thinking about how magical the world was. Now I see the world through a whole new light, and perhaps that is what I miss most.

My childhood delights.

Candy Cigarettes, Royal Crown cola and Scooter Pies, Boy's Life magazines, Daisy BB guns, Cheeseburgers at Oscar's Drive-in in El Cajon, CA., John Wayne showing at the local cinema, watching Combat, Gunsmoke, and Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea on TV, and my metal Rat Patrol lunch box.

Those were the days.

Turkish Taffy and penny candies from the Candy store.

Owensboro, KY, 1961: We had a place called "Red Barn", where you could get 10 hamburgers for $1. Then 8, then 5, then 1 for $1. Then it was gone. Three of us could stuff our faces good for a buck.

My grandmother's fruit salad, 1957-1987. No words can adquately describe how good this stuff was.

Friday nights, 1960-62: My mother made popcorn in a skillet and burned it 8 times out of 10 (I didn't care). Then we'd watch The Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits before "reruns" was in my vocabulary.

[Yes, I'm old, too.]

[TheGrimReaper]

Ah, yes.... RC and a Moon Pie..... the perfect afternoon repast!

[CholeraJoe]

I loved brains with eggs until I found out it was pork brains.

Well, there's no danger of Mad Cow Disease then is there?

[CholeraJoe]

Something about an RC in a glass returnable bottle served icy cold just can't be duplicated.
