What is a healthy breakfast? Eggs? What else? I think eating waffles with butter and syrup everyday is a bad idea, and I am wondering about what I could switch to that is more healthy. Gracie!
mattmns said:Brewnog, what is "Muesli" ?
kind of like porridge, but with a gritty texture. Not gritty like gravel or popcorn. More gritty in appearance than texture. It is whitish in color and they are eaten hot. They can be eaten with just about anything. Look at the breakfast table in my last post. The bowl has grits and it looks like a pat of butter. All the other stuff is commonly eaten with grits for breakfast. Shrimp is also common and so is chicken, but that would be for lunch or dinner.brewnog said:Similar in texture to pudding? What kind of pudding? Black pudding? Yorkshire pudding? Bakewell pudding?!
Are they like porridge? Do you have them hot or cold? Do you put milk on them?

Something is oddly familiar here...brewnog said:Yeah, it's rolled oats with raisins and other assorted dried fruit.

lol, after I looked that up, it was funny.brewnog said:You have no idea how wrong that sounds.
NOOOOOO, they're like tiny rice or pastina, they are nothing like a pudding! PUDDING? That guy is NUTS!Huckleberry said:"Grits is the dried kernels of white hominy (made from corn) eaten as a cereal that is similar in texture to pudding."
They can't be described, they're best with salt, pepper and butter. Or, let them cool, cut them into sticks and fry them. :!) :!) :!)brewnog said:Similar in texture to pudding? What kind of pudding? Black pudding? Yorkshire pudding? Bakewell pudding?!

That Muesli stuff sounds good! I want some!

I've had decent grits at restaurants, but only in the south. I've never had fried grits though. That sounds interesting.Evo said:They can't be described, they're best with salt, pepper and butter. Or, let them cool, cut them into sticks and fry them. :!) :!) :!)
(I love yorkshire pudding) Did I tell you I'm half English?
That's right, you poor English don't have grits. <shoves a bowl of grits into brewnog's computer>brewnog said:I'll assume that Kerrie isn't just going through some crazy pregnant craving phase, and that they are as good as she says.
I've definitely got to get my hands on some grits. Could anyone post me some?!
Mmmmm, sounds yummy! I need grits now.Math Is Hard said:Cheese-garlic-grits casserole rocks! That was a staple of Sunday brunches during my childhood.

GRITS?
Somebody is going to have to explain, before I get it into my little head that you Yanks have for breakfast what we put on our roads...
We very definitely do have Muesli here in the US. Folks, you have to look at that top shelf in the cereal aisle, the one with the healthy, crunchy, jaw-breaking stuff! We have a name brand Mueslix, and it's also similar to Grape Nuts (another brand name), or Quaker's 100% Natural. Even as a kid, that was one of my favorite cereals. I never much liked those sugary cereals with prizes in the box everyone else ate (though I did want the prizes).brewnog said:Sorry!
Yeah, it's rolled oats with raisins and other assorted dried fruit. Do you guys not get Alpen or anything over there?
