I miss the Southern style breakfasts my dear departed father used to prepare when we were camping when I was a kid. Lots of eggs prepared anyway you liked them, grits, bacon, sausage, and Alabama ho-cake (fried pan bread). Coffee, milk, and juice to drink. It smelled so good in the morning neighboring campers would come by for a cup of coffee. Dad wound up feeding them, too.

Herself is from the South and she tells me that not just her own ancestors but many indigenous Southern families have Irish blood. Apparently there was a huge immigration of the Irish to the South to leave impoverished Ireland. Foodists postulate that Southern cooking style came from the Scottish and Irish immigrant families. And that is your food factoid for the day.:C

Whatever it is I'll vote for it. :B

True. My family is Scots-Irish and has been in Northeast Alabama for several generations. I've traced the lineage back to the late 1700's. Lots of Scots-Irish influences in Southern cooking. Southern men may die young from the Southern diet, but in the words of Lewis Gizzard, they die HAPPY!.
