what does your family typically make ??


we have 2 different egg casseroles- one simple, just with bacon and cheese, the other with sausage, cheese, broccoli, onion, green pepper, bacon.... the more the merrier on that really
hashbrowns
lil smokies sausages
fruit salad
homemade sticky buns (you know, the ones with butterscotch, brown sugar, and butter.... with the rhodes dinner rolls :drool)
english muffins
juice...


nothing horribly fancy, but damn that shits good, i wanna make some of that egg stuff for dinner sometime in the next few weeks, that shit was TOO DAMN GOOD


so, what do you guys have for christmas morning breakfast ?

nothin' fancy - we just had hot orange rolls, egg nog and coffee.

Growing up, we usually didnt eat breakfast because on Christmas Eve we'd have a massive dinner with tons of extended family and we'd still be full from the night b4. We would pretty much spend the entire morning and early afternoon opening presents. No one wanted to eat too much because Christmas dinner was always a huge deal. I guess coffee or something, but there was no set breakfast menu.

We had the power go out so it was coffee by generator and ham and spuds on the woodstove.

Sausage sandwich - just enough to keep us going until dinner!!

My old college prof loved malt, anything malt! He used to salivate in class when telling us about it.

Crimbo morning brekkie was a bowl of Shreddies with splashes of whisky

Top fella he was

Cheese eggs and pancakes.

(And leftover broccoli rabe and fried peppers and onions on the side for me, because I'm the only one with taste.)

meat.

I decided to try something new this Christmas and it sucked

We usually have Bacon and/or Sausage and Scrambled eggs,grapes & muffins

I decided to make Turkey bacon (I was the only one who ate it)
Parmesian cheese omelet (Half went in the trash,the other half burnt)
The grapes were a hit (of course i didnt cook those)
Muffins (all gone before I got mine)



Oh yeah and the Christmas Sugar cookies I made,sucked too! Next year Im getting them at the bakery

I should have

This year Christmas was at my house and I wanted to do something simple like porridge and fruit salad but I got outvoted by the men in the family who all wanted a cooked English breakfast. In the end I cooked sausages, bacon, toast, eggs and mushrooms for the meat eaters. My niece and I had mushrooms and toast.

Grits
Eggs
Toast
2 different kinds of Sausage
Bacon
Ham
biscuits
Juice
Coffee
Tea (gotta have tea)
Egg Nog

I'll never have the discipline to be a vegetarian with all that meat.

hashbrown patties too

i LOVE the hashbrowns

grits - I've had them before but I can't remember which ones they were.

Are grits the mushy thing that looks like opaque porridge and kind of tastes of savoury semolina?

Reincarnate said:

what the hell kind if grits are you eating? I can eat grits any time of the day really.

Just pancakes, croissants, and sausage patties with this new butter pecan syrup I found.

AnckSuNamun said:

So can I, but that sounds like an apt description. I like to cook them with extra water (don't like them when they taste, uh, gritty), some Goya Adobo instead of salt, and use lots of butter and sometimes cheese. Cheese grits with fried eggs and slices of fried ripe tomato...good goddess, my mouth is literally watering as I type it!

hot buttered edit

We don't have grits in England. I think I've eaten them because I remember seeing them somewhere in the Caribbean and I'm sure I would've tried them. I just can't remember what they were.

hey there's a pic! - I didn't see it the first time round. That's exactly what I can remember eating.

I didn't really get the point of "grits" but it sounds like you can add things to them, like FunkMistress said. Do you tend to eat it like hash browns, as a side dish?

AnckSuNamun said:

I like mine kinda thick with butter, salt, pepper. If I have cheese,bacon, or sausage at the the time, then I like mixing little bits of that in it. It's almost like the loaded baked potatoe. When I eat them for dinner, I'll normally eat them with fish, shrimp,or salmon patties.

Reincarnate said:

You can, or you can just have a bowl of them like oatmeal with butter and syrup.

AnckSuNamun said:

Mmmm...grits are a perfect side dish for spicy fish. With some fried peppers and onions? Aw shit, I need to go home and cook!

Reincarnate said:

Most people eat it as a side dish. You'd be amazed at all the shit people put in their grits.....what I like is simple compared to what others like in theirs. I never got why people put ketchup in theirs.....different strokes I just.

FunkMistress said:

I hate peppers and onions I like using onion powder for flavor when I make salmon patties, but I hate actual onions. I'm the same way with ketchup....I could eat ketchup on a lot of foods, but I hate tomatoes.

AnckSuNamun said:

Thanks for explaining I can't imagine it with ketchup either

I take my grits like I take my oatmeal, hot, buttered, and sweet! I like them cheesy also. Mmmmmm...
