Grits, cathead biscuits, and sawmill gravy. Is there a more perfect food?

[MajorChode]

Just asking...

1. Do the biscuits have whiskers, and will I get splinters in my mouth from the gravy?

:shrug:

[MajorChode]

2. It depends on how far south you are

[Bake]

3. It ain't perfect without country ham. And red-eye gravy!!

So there.

Bake

[MajorChode]

4. Ah yes, one can't forget the pork products

And none are better than country ham.

I never got into the red-eye gravy thing, though. Perhaps that's a bit too far south for me.

5. Hold the sausage in the gravy, throw in a good tofu scramble, and you've got it. nt

6. While I can certainly sympathize with your cause...

Wars have been fought over lesser cultural affronts.

8. It ain't a cause, it's food. And it's my culture, I can do with it what I want.

:P

9. I'm basically if it feels good do it kind of guy

But there's something about tofu and cathead biscuits that just don't work.

It's like going to NYC and trying to get deep dish pan pizza, or going to San Francisco and trying to find a restaurant that serves pickled pig's feet.

However it might go over well in California where they take everything culinary, bastardize it, and somehow make it work.

11. Then you ain't a "if it feels good do it" kind of guy.

If I want to eat tofu because it tastes better than eggs, I'll darn well do it, and don't start no "it smacks of California" stuff with me, I ain't never been there. :P

12. I wouldn't want to hear Hendrix played on a banjo either

Call me crazy.

10. Blackeyed peas were the staple at every family reunion I've ever been
