h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Breakfast is really the most important meal in the southern United States, and whether or not someone goes out and runs cattle and mends fences in the morning, southerners will still eat a large, heavy breakfast.

Breakfasts normally include:

large amounts of coffee
scrambled eggs or eggs done sunny side up ("dippy eggs")
toast
bacon
ham
sausages
biscuits (American biscuits are like little breads)


Plus one or more of the following:

grits
cereal
biscuits and sausage gravy
omlettes
fruit, if available

Very good... and you won't be hungry for hours (or days!) if you do a southern breakfast right.

*is very hungry now*

Grits? ! That spoiled my whole appetite...

Never said I liked *all* of the above.

But I could go for some biscuits and gravy right about now... *starving for dinner and waiting for the dining hall to open*

I've never met a person who ate grits if they could have something else...

But the rest of that makes me I think I'll go wander off and have a banana

I have met some people who'll do that. I suppose if you're raised it it you don't mind it. Occasionally they serve them for breakfast in the dining hall here on campus. But that makes sense since this university is in deepest darkest Appalachia. (play the game 'find the sarcasm in the last sentence'! )
