Breakfast For Supper

[1morethan8]

Every now and then we'll have breakfast for supper.. just to change things up a bit.

I love either country ham, country bacon, or homemade sausage for the meal. Not everyone knows that country ham and country bacon are a lot different than what you normally get down at the local store!
Country hams are a dry-curing process, usually using salt, brown sugar, and typically aged 9-10 months, though hams are available 1 year and older, and available either unsmoked or hickory-smoked.
Country bacon is dry cured by hand with salt, brown sugar, and black pepper. After about three weeks curing and drying it is thoroughly smoked in a wood smokehouse for two to three days.
Homemade sausage is bought from friends that makes sausage using whole hog and you can get it mild or hot.

Every meal of this type has "cathead biscuits"! This is a biscuit that's as big as a cat's head... I like them made with buttermilk and a little lard in the mix. To go with them is either redeye gravy, or white gravy.. most of the time I like sorghum syrup with my biscuits. Sorghum isn't the same as molasses... sorghum is made from sweet sorghum cane and molasses is made from sugar cane.

Eggs either fried or scrambled and of course, black coffee... ya got'a have coffee!

Yes, I know, not everyone would like a meal like this... and I guess people in California just wouldn't understand... because it's a Southern Thang!

Just a note.. Benton’s Smoky Mountain Country Hams, Madisonville, Tennessee ... has some good products.

That's for dessert!
I have to hide the honey from my two kids to keep them from walking out the door with it!
It's getting hard to find good sourwood honey and if you do, it isn't cheap!

When we lived on Cane River my wife and I would drive from Melrose into Natchitoches. The purpose of that drive was to have breakfast for supper. There was a place called the Chuck Wagon that had just what we were looking for.

You would be issued a number when your order was taken and if the train that ran around on a track throughout the place stopped on that number your meal was free.

Those were good days that are long gone.

I love breakfast for supper and don’t forget the grits.

On one of our trips we covered a bunch of Wyoming and Colorado and I can't remember what state it was but they had country ham on the menu and I asked the waitress if that was real country ham. She said she would ask the cook and she came back and said it was. It was what we call picnic ham but I ate it. Before we left I told the waitress that if anybody that talked like me ever asked if that was real country ham on the menu she should tell them no. We only used salt to cure meat. Larry

Eggs and bacon for supper is once a week here at the Legation. Marshall polishes the plate for me.

Plenty to be found at most flea markets in central/north central Florida, along with mayhaw jelly

That's not a real Southern breakfast . I didn't see anything about grits , or my favorite , biscuits and gravy . Not that half-a**ed gravy either , gravy with big pieces of sausage .

I like breakfast for supper especially if home late from work . Sometimes Mom would fix pancakes scrambled eggs and sausage Sunday evenings after church , really good in the winter time. I used to go by Benton country Hams when drove a truck in that area and buy it when lived in Milan. I have a jar of molasses from Liberty KY , it's ok but like it a little thicker and dark

In my younger days many a breakfast was consumed shortly after closing time.

Nothing wrong with breakfast for supper!!

p.s. I prefer Cream of Wheat over regular grits, however, cheesy grits are ok.

Chicken fried steak and eggs. Eggs over easy and mixed up with my hash browns. A short stack on the side. You are making me want to go to IHOP for supper.

We love breakfast for supper! And around here those would be some BIG biscuits. Our cat weighs 28 pounds.

That type gravy is called "sawmill gravy", it's gravy made from the sausage or bacon grease with or without bits of sausage or bacon in the gravy.

Grits are a standard for a Southern breakfast... having a neutral taste, you can doctor them with anything... even muscadine jelly.

We have breakfast for supper quite often, quick and easy and always good.

I remember going into an IHOP at 2Am with a buddy; we both ordered two huge breakfast combos - and when the waitress asked us after if we needed anything else, we smiles and said two more of the same. Kinda like going to Jack In The Box and buying a dozen tacos after a night out.

Turkey and Gravy over Waffles....
Served with a side of mashed potatoes and corn.

We did that a lot as well. If I was headed home without any of my friends around I just stopped at Whataburger and grabbed a cheeseburger and a couple regular fries to eat before I went to bed.
