Breakfast For Supper

Yep, my oldest does that now - he gets off work at 2-3AM and has one a few blocks from his house. I remember Whataburger from my days in texas
 
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.

Customary after Thanksgiving....

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

Breakfast for Dinner during the rest of the year? Pancakes, scrambled eggs, and bacon.

This brings back memories of chicken and waffles all day long at the Molly Pitcher Restaurant in downtown Chambersburg, PA.
 
In my younger days many a breakfast was consumed shortly after closing time. :cool:

2 AM at the truck stop north of town. Later years a bakery/cafe next door to one of the downtown dive bars. My nephew was the cook so always got good service. And lots of times a fresh donut to head home with.

I never heard of turkey or chicken and gravy over waffles, yuck. I like my waffles with strawberries and whipped cream.

To flip/flop this, I like supper's leftovers for breakfast. Pizza, Chicken & biscuits(or dumplings), any kind of homemade soup top the list.

Anytime we stop at B Evans, C Barrel, any of those, I ALWAYS order breakfast. Could be 8am or 8pm, doesn’t matter. Two eggs over medium, bacon, hash browns, rye toast. Then mix them eggs with the browns and away I go. Yum!! Oh yeah and some catsup!!
 
Just did that today. bacon, drained on paper towels to get nice and crisp, fried a bunch of eggs in the bacon grease, slice up a blood red sandwich sized (one slice covers the whole slice of bread) local tomato, toasted English muffins with butter and Monastery Boysenberry jam (best jam I ever had), ate it on the deck on our picnic table while enjoying a dry, 84F, balmy, breezy evening watching the birds at our feeders. I was very content.

We did make a few country hams back east in Md. But usually made sugar cured. much easier to do and also easier to get ready for eating. When my fathers brothers came down and we went rabbit hunting mom would get a 1/2 gallon jar of sausage out of the meathouse and she'd slice up some country bacon out of there too. Fresh Eggs home fries with onions(cooked in lard a course) and some ol sourdough pancakes Strawberry jam(freezer style) black raspberry jelly for them as liked it or that light colored sorghum syrup. I liked the black Raspberry the best. Did any of y'all make that sorghum syrup? Pressed the canes and thickened it up over the fire....It was good too. Better'n molasss....at least to me.
 
Tonight's dinner was a variation on a Hawaiian surfers breakfast:

Put a layer of white rice on a plate. Fry up some Spam and put a layer of Spam on top of the rice. Cook some hamburger or sausage in the Spam grease, and place that on top of the Spam. Fry 2 or 3 eggs in the Spam/burger/sausage grease. Leave the yokes runny...it'll be important later. The eggs go on top of the burger/sausage.

Make a roux in the grease, then make white gravy. Pour the gravy over the pile of eggs, meat, and rice. Enjoy. The egg yokes running through the gravy is sublime.

I can never remember if this mess is called a Loco Moco or a Moco Loco.......but it sure is good.

It's also good using leftover hamburger patties and brown gravy, which I believe was the original way it was served.
 
I can tell you what they don't eat much of in Hawaii... Cornbread!

I lived in Hawaii for two years.. told The wife that I would love to have some cornbread. She checked all the stores off-base, no one had cornmeal! At the food store on base she only found a few packages of Three Rivers Cornmeal.. she bought all they had!

I make mine with jalapenos and cheddar cheese in my grandmother's cast iron Wagner skillet from the 20s or 30s.
 
And if you're going to go Southern, then pimento cheese shrimp and grits is an all purpose meal - appropriate for breakfast lunch or dinner.
 
Breakfast for supper is about the only time we ever eat pancakes. Put some huckleberries in the batter and enjoy life.
 
You know I believe Southerns would starve if they didn't have a cast iron skillet! Our skillet that's used the most is a 10", and it's place is always on the stove and is always ready to use. It's cleaned while still hot and has never seen soap.
It doesn't know what meal it's being used for or if it's going to be used on top of the stove or in the oven.. it cooks without fail!

Cornbread, like biscuits, is standard for any meal. For a change from pancakes I like hoecakes mixed in with the evening meal, I think they are called johnny cakes up north?

Fried green tomatoes are thought to be a breakfast food, mostly a summer time side dish, same for fried sweet potatoes.

Jelly is a breakfast food, it seems to turn up for the evening meal too. I guess my favorite would be muscadine and scuppernong jelly. Wife makes all the jelly and jams and it could be anything! "What kind of jelly is that?"... "It's kudzu".

I guess just about anything can be used for any meal.. sure seems that way.
