It takes awhile for em ta get brown but if ya leave em in the pan long enough they will...slightly. They're real good fried in bacon grease...

Ron...is there ANYTHING that isn't good when fried in bacon grease??!! Several years back, during my initial reforming-yankee days I was cooking at the church for a pancake breakfast. Pancakes and bacon. Had several ladies come up to me and give me an empty coffee can with their name on it. What was that all about? A friend who was helping me de-yankifiy said "They want you to pour the bacon grease into them to take home." I do love the south.

Like Longhunter I also fry leftover grits formed in to patties. Another breakfast fav of mine is cornmeal mush. The left over mush I flatten into a pie plate then fry the next day. And.........I butter em and pour on the maple syrup!  I'll try the redeye gravy next time tho.

FINE you guys, especially you Uupers, get Lutfisk, perogies, pasties, and pickled herring, and the Southern Boys will get grits, hush puppies, chitterlings, and collards, and we'll see which cuizine wins!

Corn bread with cracklin's.  Used to get it at a BBQ place called Harold's south of the plant. I would always get an order to take home. They never made it.

Now...how can I get the cracklin's in S.E. Michigan....oh bother.

Stayed with some friends for a bit up in Idaho last month.  One morning, we were greeted with eggs, ham, and grits.  I had forgotten how much I liked them.  Tasted great with a little ketchup on them.  Would think some medium or hot salsa would be pretty good as well.

LUTFISK? The reason they dont serve it in prison's is the cruel and unusual punishment clause! Cooked up some grit's this afternoon and it wasn't too bad. It was the long cook kind. Fresh butter,a little salt and I couldn't help it,a touch of maple syrup,not bad. Still like pierogi's better though!

The old saying "I never tasted it because I couldn't get past the smell" would certainly apply to chit'lins.

Now, having said all that, I must say I know many folks that say I have just never tasted well prepared chit'lins, and I have no reason to doubt the truthfulness, and well meaning, of what they are saying.

Russ...been around 'em most of my life.  I've tried 'em stump beat, creek washed, bucket soaked and most any other way ya can think of and I have to say that I've still never met a chitlin that I could call friend
