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.

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'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.

The brewpub down the street from me sells Moon Pies and RC cola for the kids. I'll walk my son down every other week or so and have a pint while he plays with the other toddlers and makes a mess of a Moon Pie.

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!

Grew up and still live in the South.Never cared for Moon Pies with my RC Cola ,but love some Lance Peanuts in the RC or a Coca Cola.The salty taste and the sweet Cola taste together is still good.And yes I love sausage gravy and biscuits .

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!

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!
