My mom used to make that to go with pancakes!
Ohhhhhh, there goes another one down the drain. <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

There is nothing in the Southern Food Belt that is on the low carb menu, LOL!

There's salad, unless you put chocolate sauce over it.

Mine is my gramma's Sunday dinner. Chicken fried steak, gravy, mashed potatoes, fried okra and black-eyed peas, green beans and a plate of home grown tomatoes. Oh, and peach cobbler for dessert!

I'm gaining weight just reading everyone's favorite meals.

Just a little aside - here in The Netherlands, for breakfast kids eat buttered bread with chocolate sprinkles (like you sprinkle on cupcakes in America).

And, for lunch, buttered bread with a product that is a swirl of peanut butter and chocolate of the same consistency.

I'll stick with my lunch of buttered bread with peanut butter - is that southern enough. he he he

Breakfast--Fried grits (cook the grits the usual way, pour them into a loaf pan, let 'em get cold, slice them and fry golden brown); bacon or sausage; johnny cakes (corn meal pancakes) topped with sorghum/black strap molasses and chicory coffee (the kind you can stand a spoon up in).

Tastes great, but you feel pretty darned loaded and heavy afterwards.

Thanks for posting the recipe, Lynne! It triggered a memory of a childhood favorite of mine!
My grandmother would make the usual fried fruit pies like apple and peach. But she also had a chocolate filled fried pie.
She would mix (I think) sugar and cocoa and maybe a little butter in the "pocket" of the fried pie rather than fruit and once it was fried in oil it would become a thick chocolate filling! It was SO good!
Does anyone else remember those kind of fried pies? I was wondering because I've never known of anyone else that made them with a chocolate filling like that.

My god listen to you all! I have a fruit smoothie for breakfast (just fruit and water) and I'm still a bit old lardarse.

<img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> I ususally have a protein shake for breakfast and save the chocolate and biscuits (and the like) for special times or times when I'm really tired of being <img src="/images/graemlins/angel.gif" alt="" /> good!

On the upside, research is now showing that a little chocolate may help your heart! Yay! Let's break out the chocolate sauce!
