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.

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).

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.

December 23, 20205 yr 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?

Cholula/Tapatio/Valentines all work as well as Louisiana Hot Sauce(Crystal preferably) just mix equal parts i've found best. Edited December 23, 20205 yr by BurntOrange&White

December 24, 20205 yr I think I’ve mentioned this in a junk food thread before, but Cheetos and bean dip is awesome.
December 26, 20204 yr tortilla crust pizza. tortilla. red sauce. white cheese. pepperoni. toaster oven for 3 minutes. "Foods that remind you of growing up poor"
December 26, 20204 yr "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.
December 26, 20204 yr Ketchup on cornbread as dessert after beans, soup, or chili and cornbread. Awesomeness.

December 26, 20204 yr 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.
December 26, 20204 yr 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.
December 28, 20204 yr Grape jelly, ketchup, and frozen meatballs or cocktail weenies.I prefer my meatballs hot.

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?

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.
December 30, 20204 yr Peanut butter and fritos. Just get a good spoonful of peanut butter on your plate and scoop it up with fritos.

December 30, 20204 yr Author 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....
December 31, 20204 yr None of you southern farts ever mix your cornbread with a glass of milk and eat it with a spoon? Learned this from gramps. It’s even better with hot water fried cornbread
December 31, 20204 yr 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.

January 1, 20214 yr This thread is a perfect example of why all your criticisms of Cincinnati chili ring hollow.
January 1, 20214 yr Posted in the Griddle Me This thread...Bacon. Cheddar. Pancakes. That’s not a bastardization. That’s breakfast.

January 1, 20214 yr I completely forgot that I used to eat grape jelly with plain or cheddar cheese omelets until this thread.
January 2, 20214 yr Runny yolk eggs atop pancakes. Syrup over the whole thing. Edited January 2, 20214 yr by SurlyORama

January 3, 20214 yr Miracle Whip mixed into scrambled eggs. It’s like a poor man’s egg salad really. Don’t judge me.
January 4, 20214 yr 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.
January 4, 20214 yr 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.
January 4, 20214 yr 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.
