butter milk or regular milk?

 

either way no get out of here with that Yankee bullshit

My dad preferred it with buttermilk, but it was rarely available in our house, as he was the only one who would drink it.  He grew up on a farm outside Savoy, Texas.

With whole milk, he called it "cornbread and sweet milk".  He especially liked it for breakfast with any cornbread left over from the last night's supper.  Probably not a lot different from corn cereals.

All of this is an important reminder to me that I am not from Texas and do not live in Texas and should not act like my experience in the Deep South is the same as the experience of people who grew up in Texas.

I like syrup on bacon, but really love it with breakfast sausage (patties or links). 

Honestly any of the breakfast meats(sausage, ham, bacon, etc) go well dipped in syrup. 

[gsoda3 3257]

fried chicken does not belong with syrup.  never understood, never will.

Great place.  Been there so many times with friends, co-workers & vendors that I've had almost every item on the menu.  We rotate WK, Mi Dia, and Kona for lunches.  Italian place is decent as well.

History of chicken and waffles, Harlem, and the late night NY Jazz clubs is pretty cool to read up on.  Or the competing theories that it actually predates all that and had early slave origins in the deep south (as many traditional southern dishes date back to).

Wow hopefully chicken and waffles don’t get canceled

Jeez, no kidding.  Lots of fare started out a little wonky.  Texas' own Chicken friend steak (as I have heard) was a bastardized version from our German/Austrian ancestors take on Schnitzel but adapted for tougher cuts of meat.

Same with the history of Texas BBQ and the slow cooked brisket.

Plain maple, no. Needs good amount of heat.

Maybe that's where I've gone wrong, I've never added heat. What do you use, tabasco? Cholula?

I don't like tabasco unless it's in a soup.

Cholula/Tapatio/Valentines all work as well as Louisiana Hot Sauce(Crystal preferably) 

 

just mix equal parts i've found best.

Any of those work but I prefer cholula or valentina

I think I’ve mentioned this in a junk food thread before, but Cheetos and bean dip is awesome.

"Foods that remind you of growing up poor"

It's nostalgic for you? I'd never had it til we had kids and they got tired of their normal lunches. It's genius tho.

[Parliament 14258]

I've never had it. Very intriguing.

Ketchup on cornbread as dessert after beans, soup, or chili and cornbread.  Awesomeness.

None of you southern farts ever mix your cornbread with a glass of milk and eat it with a spoon?  Learned this from gramps.

My grandfather toasted marshmallows and cheddar cheese on saltines. He also did cheddar on apple pie, which is a little more mainstream. Both are still good in my book.

Sharp cheddar on apple pie is great, don't do it too often as I'm not a huge fan of apple pie, exceptions being the old style hand pies from McDs and currently at Popeye's. 

[956 Worldwide 34710]

Sharp cheddar on apple pie is amazing, learned it from both my grandma and mother who are as Texas as they come.

Can second that a piece of last nights cornbread with milk poured over it is a amazing for breakfast.

Grape jelly, ketchup, and frozen meatballs or cocktail weenies.

I prefer my meatballs hot.

Celery and peanut butter. Ants on a log as a kid revisited is excellent.

Yeah, I’d call schnitzel chicken fried pork. 
 

After eating a McRib this past weekend, I think a homemade McRib has infinitely more potential than the McDonald’s version. How do you mess up a pork cutlet with bbq sauce, pickles, and onions on a hoagie bun?

My father in-law wakes up every morning and, instead of coffee, dumps about a 1/4 cup of dry roasted peanuts into a 12 oz bottle of diet pepsi.  I think it's a hick thing more than a southern thing though, cause if he grew up any farther north he'd be Canadian.

Yeah, this is a hick thing.  I learned it in north Iowa as a kid.  Not exactly Southern.

[NotActuallyALonghorn 4976]

Peanut butter and fritos. Just get a good spoonful of peanut butter on your plate and scoop it up with fritos.

Slab BBQ has a deboned rib sandwich that’s pretty great.

[Walden Ponderer 12639]

The cornbread and milk thing reminds me of something I used to love as a kid -- onion slices in milk. I would probably still do this now, if I actually still drank milk. Come to think of it, onion ring pasties might... well, that's probably for a different thread....

Dipping salty/buttery popcorn in plain yellow mustard.

It’s even better with hot water fried cornbread

[Stunns38 3460]

Pork rinds on salads instead of croutons, try it.
Cream cheese makes a good addition to poultry enchilada filling especially ground turkey.
This is foreign to Yankees but corn cooked in bacon fat with salt, sugar, and butter. My aunt even adds bell pepper. I add jalapeños. Delicious
Dad loved peanuts in his coke.

Cold sesame noodles sometimes are made with a peanut butter sauce and it’s delicious too.

No wonder I’m a pre-diabetic.

I often do something similar with naan bread from the store.  Really quick, easy, good lunch.

I think we can say peanut butter goes well with damn near everything.

I have been very surprised by the amount of disgust expressed by some of my friends at the idea. I find it delicious.

Miracle Whip mixed into scrambled eggs. It’s like a poor man’s egg salad really. Don’t judge me.

When theaters open back up toss some (regular) M&Ms into hot butter popcorn.  They'll melt and make a mess but it's fucking awesome.

[Elvis 3371]

Wife sprinkles M&M's over buttery popcorn.  I didn't think I would like it but it's sweet and salty!  I found it better to have a little bowl of M&M's in the big popcorn bowl, that way you can get the appropriate ratio of one M&M to 2 or 3 popcorns.  

[SydneyCarton 48092]

Is this where someone is going to mention fake crab meat and mayo sammiches?

 

Seriously, I will say Mac and Cheese and Worcestershire sauce. Specifically cheap boxed mac and cheese, don't do this one some glorious amped up Mac and Cheese. That being said, pretty much every time there's a giant bin of leftovers I'm going this route and eating it still cold. 

 

Fight me.
