The bacon looks quality. Of course, anybody who's seen my pic knows I could eat about a pound of them slices myself. That's the problem, eating them whilst cooking other stuff and being full before getting the other stuff done.

You need some cheesy grits for it to be proper though.

Them hoecakes is also called flannel cakes.

Blackburn of Jefferson, Texas makes some awesome syrups.

I've never eaten Hoe Cakes (this thread might change that), but I did love the mash potato hotcakes my grandma used to make.

I broke my son in early on Buckwheat pancakes and he loves 'em............and bacon of course.

I don't eat anything green until maybe lunch, but likely supper.

My Grandpa was born and raised in TN, and swore that Poke Salad made good greens. He had a brother mail him some seed to grow a patch in his garden. He was proud of that patch, and it was always a topic of conversation with summer guests. You can take a man from the South, but not the South from the man.

My folks were from the south and we always called the Johnny Cakes, I like them with Honey!

Looks good, Scott!

Looks good to me

I like most greens but not poke, although I ate a lot of it as a child. Back then you ate what was put on the table. Beware that it is poison unless cooked. miles

Funny, youre the only actual person on this thread that lives in a 12 ft wide, 40ft long spam can. With a rotting wooden porch add-on deck for your 7 azz licking dogs.

All within the confines of your crawfish floodplain 1/4 acre lot. Retirement bliss on $1300 a month.

Miles,

You could have picked some while you were here last week if you wanted! It's already past knee high in the bottom here!!!

I always laugh when I see someone using a wood adze as an eye hoe in a movie! Makes me cringe. Like using your good knife as a screwdriver!

Six thick slices is about a normal serving for me, plus maybe one more if I'm doing the cooking.

I prefer homemade blackberry syrup on my hotcakes though (on my ice cream too!).

I have seen both of which you mentioned. I learned right quick about loaning my knife when I went to work at the AHTD. Some people should never touch a knife. miles

Sweet, mirage243's incest spawned brother is back.

I worked for a local truck farmer from 12 until I could drive. He raised cabbage, kale, turnip greens, mustard, etc. Anytime he was taking a load of whatever to the farmer's market he was always happy to take Poke Salad that any of us boys had cut to sell and he'd bring cash back to us. He never brought any Poke Salad back. He said black folks always bought it all.

My grandfather liked it and I ate it with him several times but I didn't like any greens then...might like it better now.


Good post Scott. It's been a LONG time since I've had hoe cakes. I need to remedy that.

I ain't eating poke weed.

Wifey would have yard sales here in the bottom. Neighborhood black folks would drop by and see all the poke salat in the bottom and ask if they could pick some. Naturally they was always welcome! Good folks!!!

I think my Grandpa kept Poke mostly for the memories and a tie to his past/the South. He came from a large, poor family and left home by age 12 to find work. Joined the Army during WWII and discovered Oregon while training before shipping to Europe.

I'm sure he ate his share of Poke, whether it actually tasted good or not.

Counter looks great and breakfast also!

Got a can of Steen's on the shelf for when I want something a little different. I like it a lot, but, for me, it's just not on the same planet as maple syrup.

You lift too many heavy weights to eat too many greens.

Only on the 24hr fire can grown men turn a delicious breakfast (with Bacon) into an unsavory food fight.
