Shrimp and grits on the breakfast menu? Fine eatin along with a Mimosa.
Love me a big plate of biscuits and sausage gravy along with some bacon and eggs and extra biscuits to go with the butter and molasses.
When you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk.

A 9MM MAY expand to .45 but a 45ACP will never shrink to 9MM.
Oh, someone else with good memories! My maternal grandparents had an 80 acre farm in the bottom part of AL when I was growing up. A Saturday evening treat was to go to the local mom & pop store where my granddad would buy us an RC and a Moon Pie, if we had been good that week. Wish my kids could have experienced those times.
I love the South- even though I am always looking over my shoulder for the infamous 'Florida Man'...![]()
I'm as No'thrun as you can get, but I, too, love biscuits and sausage gravy.
I'll have to pass on the bacon and eggs on the side. There just isn't that much room in my belly, any more.
But an extra biscuit or two, with butter and honey, would go down well with the coffee.

Gotta put peanuts in that RC Cola for it to be official.
Born and raised in NC/SC, we had gun CLUBS in our high school and were encouraged to shoot straight. I was a member of the FFOA and in the Carolinas that didn’t always mean we were into Tobacky, back then (70’s) we took what the teacher grew and headed to the Blueridge mountains for a Skewl Daze trip...pretty cool teacher! 😎
BTW, it being tobacky country we did have a smoking “section” right at the front door and were encouraged to smoke - teachers had their own smoking lounge. Not promoting it I hate cigarettes now but this was way back then and it was normal in the Carolinas.
Yes things ARE different in the South, lets hope it stays that way!
Trust God always in every thing you do 🙏

Another tidbit in LA (Lower Alabama) most of the various Mardi Gras parades throw moon pies along with beads with the symbol of the Krewe throwing them. (Some local cities have ordinances against throwing candy during Mardi Gras.) Also on New Years eve in Mobile they have the Moon Pie drop with a giant 900 lb Moon pie!

It takes a Viking to raze a village.
A few years ago my wife and I were in Brateslava. I ordered a Coke at a restaurant and they brought me an RC! It even said, "Royal Crown Bottling Company, Columbus GA" on the label.
I tried to explain to the waiter how funny that was, that I was from Georgia, and that RC was a symbol of the South... But he didn't get it. Should have asked for a moon pie to go with it.
Of course, Coke, too, is from Georgia..
And he probably thought I was from the country of Georgia!
