I think I just figured out Americas last civilized meal if there is ever a total natural disaster. Its gonna be scrambled eggs n either pancakes of french toast n I'm leaning toward the toast, if ya think what everybody runs to the store for at the last minute it make sense, milk, bread, eggs n butter. And every house has at least one small bottle of cinnamon sugar sitting around someplace. I'm thinking on investing in Maple syrup LOL as pancakes n french toast just ain't complete with out good maple syrup--oh yea I'm gonna be a millionare.-- hope ya all got a good belly laugh YMHS n counting my money already Birdman aw geez somebody ought to whip me with a wet noodle, when I first posted I forgot Americas meat BACON, EVERYTHING TASTS BETTER WITH BAAACOOON !!!!

Son, if'n ya'll come down here below the Mason Dixon Line ya'll best like grits 'cause you're likely to get 'em with you're bisquits 'n gravy, or your eggs and bacon whether ya'll axe fer 'em or not. Grits is dang near mandatory!

Well, down here we get fijoles served with breakfast, lunch, dinner, etc. Also rice is served. often you get nachos and hot chili sauce. I just bought some agave syrup and will put it on some pancakes left over from a breakfast Audrey made recently. Maple syrup is only solds at stores that cater to gringos, and is expensive.
But, if you want to be real adventurous you can have menudo which is slabs of cow stomach in thin broth, or birria which is of goat, beef, pork or whatever, and I do mean whatever, served in a broth of meat and condiment chilis that may or may not have a little picante, yumm! Of course, these two breakfasts come with a never ending stack of hot tortillas for dipping into the broth.

Oh, BTW, some restaurantes actually serve eggs.

Rancocas,
Right you are! It's gotta be grits with the bacon and eggs, but other stuff too.

Worked with a helicopter pilot who had just returned from a job in Arkansas...he said if you buy shoes there ya get grits!

I went to Chattanooga to teach a wildfire course several years ago with a bunch of Californians. Got off the plane in Atlanta, rented a car and drove to TN. They were looking for a place to eat...I said "If you put sugar and milk on yo' grits I'm moving to the other end of the restaurant!"

Some folks could walk on a gold nugget path and not know it.

That said, I am partial to pure maple syrup...

Ah, my overall favorite border-land Mexican meal is huevos rancheros, with maybe a tamal on the side.
I'd settle for that as my last civilized meal.

Hey Sparks;
Could be that we met when you were here in TN a few years ago. I help maintain the hiking trails in the Cherokee National Forest and I remember meeting a bunch of visiting firefighters from out west. One fella kept asking me to identify some of our eastern trees for him.

When I was a teenager back in 1960 the Navy sent be from my home in Philadelphia to a short tour of duty in Florida. The first morning in the crow line I spotted the "cream of wheat". Of course I appied the milk and sugar! That's when I learned about grits. Eggs over easy, mixed with butter, and the yolks all in the grits!! Yumm!

Grits are not an acquired taste. They are in fact a genetic imperative. If you are not Southern by birth, you won't understand.

On Wednesdays here, I often go to the local street market in Ajijic. (pronounced ah hee heek) A local pizza restaurant brings an oven run by bottled gas. They make a delicious pizza of various recipes. So I stop at the stand where a young guy is squeezing oranges in a hand driven device an buy a half liter of fresh orange juice and then up a couple of stands to the pizza place. I call this the BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS. Many gringos look at me with envy because I have the audacity to actually eat that. They are all watching their cholesterol. I probably should but that pizza makes a mighty good breakfast.
Dick, I remember a huevos ranchos breakfast I had on the way back from Laredo, oh the heartburn...

Volatpluvia,
Can you get machaca, or the meatless version migas for breakfasts there? I know they are Mexican rather than New Mexican, as I get them at a Jalisco Mexican Restaurant.
One of my favorite things for breakfast! Go there at least once a week.

Dearcop,
Hmmnnn...I don't know what a miga is. I would think that a muchacha would be a pretty and young woman, but then I don't know everything. It could be that it is called something else here. I know that when mex's come in from the north especially they have favorite foods that are not found here. Even a Jalisco restaurant there might feature foods that are not favorites or even eaten at all here in the state of Jalisco. Lots of regional differences.
Now for lunch, lengua en salsa verde...¡um, umh!

Hey Willis Creek,
I wasn't born in the south, but come from a long line of Southerners and get my 'taste' for grits--that staff of life--genetically.

Rancocas,
Could well have been...but I don't remember much outside time in the class. I went to High School in Prince George County VA, so it wasn't me asking about southern trees...I am pretty well up on southern hardwoods...and I miss them dearly every fall when I know they are in spectacular color. I taught an introductory Fire Information class in about '95 or '96 in Chattanooga. Terry McDonald from the Cherokee NF was there.

Volatpluvia,
Here's a picture of some migas. The machaca is the same but with shredded beef. It's scrambled eggs with tortilla chips, cheese,jalapenos, usually with tomato,and potatos.
I went through my stuff and found my recipe for migas if anyone is interested in trying them. I got it out of some magazine sometime back. This recipe makes 6 servings. Also found out "migas" means "crumbs" in Spanish. Machaca is a Mexican form of jerky, though I just use brisket or roast beef.

Vaquero Migas


Ingredients

10 yellow or white corn tortillas


1 tablespoon Vegetable oil


12 eggs, beaten


1/2 teaspoon salt


1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper


1 cup shredded cheese (Cheddar or a good Mexican white is preferred)


1/4 cup finely chopped onion


1/4 cup finely chopped firm, ripe tomato


2 jalapeño peppers, seeded and finely chopped (optional)

Prep Time - 5
Cook Time - 15


Instructions
1. Cut tortillas into 1 x 2-inch rectangles. Pour oil into a large skillet to a depth of about 1 1/2 inches. Heat over medium-high heat. When oil is hot but not smoking, fry tortilla pieces, stirring to keep them from sticking together. Before they are crisp, transfer the chips to a platter covered with paper towels to drain. Set aside.
2. Discard about half the oil, return pan to heat, and add eggs. Season with salt and pepper, and stir constantly. As eggs begin to set, add tortilla chips and continue to stir, scraping the bottom of the pan. When the eggs reach a soft scramble, fold in cheese, followed by onion, tomato and jalapeños.

Oh real nice Deercop! I haven't even ate breakfast yet and you've stepped over the line with that Migas....I'll take Mexican food over everything and that sure looks great. Try and find some good Mexican or Southern cooking here in KS....it ain't going to happen. I've had great food in Ark years ago and never forgot it, I love corn bread and beans but love Mexican better.

Taco Bell here I come! Wink

A civilized meal would have to be Low Country shrimp and grits, Cajun blackened catfish and fried okra.

Hanshi,
Now THERE'S a civilized lunch or dinner. After reading this thread, it's almost snack time!

Referring back to Dick's huevos rancheros...now there's an outstanding meal! I had it a few times in restaurants and liked it fine. But I truly became spoiled with it at the Taos Inn in Taos NM several years ago. The recipe was a 250 year old 'family recipe' that was like no other huevos rancheros I'd ever had. I can't remember too many details, and if I stray too far from the ingredients some of you Taos locals be sure to correct me...maybe even provide a recipe. Smiler

The accompanying 'chilie' was the standard New Mexican "red or green." There were fried potatoes in a mixture including onions and heavenly seasonings along side of farm supplied eggs.

FRIDGE!
