The eggs don't look good because of the sausage bits and some of the grease but they sure tasted GREAT!!!

Let's be SPECIFIC here and say that the cooking talked about in this thread is SOUTHERN American cooking and not ALL of the USA cook that way or cook those things.

Ocra for example is something you won't find served in the North.
 
What's SCRAPPLE??? I'm moving South - I luuurrrvvv that food! My rear-end doesn't though!

Scrapple, also known by the Pennsylvania Dutch name pon haus, is traditionally a mush of pork scraps and trimmings combined with cornmeal and wheat flour, often buckwheat flour, and spices. The mush is formed into a semi-solid congealed loaf, and slices of the scrapple are then panfried before serving. Scraps of meat left over from butchering, not used or sold elsewhere, were made into scrapple to avoid waste. Scrapple is best known as a rural American food of the Mid-Atlantic states (Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Maryland). Scrapple and pon haus are commonly considered an ethnic food of the Pennsylvania Dutch, including the Mennonites and Amish. Scrapple is found in supermarkets throughout the region in both fresh and frozen refrigerated cases.

You got 'er Dave......easier example is basically like home made Amish SPAM....sort of. (at least I always thought so)

I have lived in and enjoy the cooking of both the north and the south. I also have the pleasure of being married to a gal who lived for a number of years in Hawaii and learned some of the local South Pacific dishes. Have Italian relatives who can make some SERIOUS food (don't go against the family) and a number of close German friends who cook up amazing food from home (home made schnitzel......yum). Don't matter to me where its from longs as its good..........its gone!
But then according to Shannon I eat like a goat so what do I know.:y2:
 
When I was in the states for my bike Trip down the coast I remember being shocked to get biscuits with this whitish gloppy gravy along with my breakfast. Gravy for breakfast seemed so wrong....but I ate it...and enjoyed it....and probably gained 10 pounds just from looking at it haha. Definitely not something I would want more than like once a year. One thing I always forget is that in the states you guys have a different version of iced tea....in Canada Iced tea is this sweet stuff made from a powdered sugary mix that tastes nothing like actual tea and is basically pure sugar...and it is delicious....but you go to the states and ask for iced tea and you literally get a glass of cold tea (which I hate lol). I usually make that mistake once or twice before I remember not to order it again haha.
 
Well......Canadians also have bagged milk!!

That biscuits and gravy should be sausage gravy.

But Iced Tea is supposed to be tea with ice in it...like the name. Sun Tea is tea made by way of sitting it out in the sun in a large bottle of water and tea bags. I prefer Sweet Tea which is basically sweetened iced tea.

There's only one place on Earth that makes a proper cheesesteak however.......... and that's in Philadelphia.

I also love Quebecois (Quebec Canada) cooking..... like their special way of doing rotisserie chicken with toast and sauce.

Haha I've never seen bagged milk but that sounds pretty nasty. And I agree Iced Tea should be how you guys make it, if you go by the name, I'm just used to our fake stuff that we call Iced Tea and have never learned to enjoy real tea any way but hot. Never heard of sun tea before, interesting. Quebecois cooking is good, wish I liked them as much as their cooking haha.....poutine, tourtiere...ect = so good!
 
I just saw that scrapple on food network this weekend. Guy from diners drive ins and dives stopped at a place that featured it. made it from scratch too.

You've never drank hot tea that got cold before? It's like that but colder...try it sometime! Good stuff! I prefer that to Coke or other carbonated drinks.

My favorite hot tea is Chinese style or earl gray.

Rbeans....they have bagged milk in Ontario and Quebec anyhow...don't about the rest of Canada?

If you like iced coffee then you really ought to like iced tea as well....try it really cold with ice (no cream though) and sugar. You never know til you try it!

BTW...I don't know why but sun tea makes the tea taste uniquely different than steeping it.

They must have been in Pennsylvania....its a staple food for the Amish- always homemade. They don't waste any part of whatever animal they slaughter.
