I am surprised I am not the only one whose favorite was grits, eggs and sausage. Mother fixed grits probably two thirds of the time for breakfast. Eggs would be fried and sometimes scrambled, it would be either country link sausage or what we called sausage meat which was just a patty.
I would always mix them all together. A side of toast and milk or orange juice. My late wife could never get them quite right but they were still OK.
For a change we would have pancakes or cereal but grits, eggs and sausage were pretty much standard.
When I was in the navy.
I first experienced grits in south Carolina(I was raised a yankee) well sir, I that it was cream of wheat.
I put butter on it, then SUGAR and MILK.
The looks I got! L0L One old boy from Ga said dont you ever embarrass me like that again boy!
