My brother's April Fool's joke on our mom 40+ years ago involved switching out her sugar for salt. Probably not the same effect.
The OP is no longer with us for... reasons, so I changed the title accordingly.
You're not alone. I was imagining some kind of disgusting stuff, too.OK, after hearing about this a few times over the years (including earlier in this very thread), I had to break down and look this up on Wikipedia to see what this actually was. Turns out, it's... porridge. That's it, just porridge. Nowhere near as disgusting as what I had imagined...
Before you laugh at the know-nothing Canadian, please note that a) with the exception of one week in Florida a long time ago, I've never really spent any time in the southern US, and b) around here, "grits" are Liberals!
I love cream of wheat porridge with honey.
...probably not.
I had a similar April Fool's trick for my own mother, also around 40 years ago, except that she's a tea drinker, as opposed to coffee. Needless to say she was not amused by my joke!Sorry to see the OP has departed for greener pastures... today was peanut butter toast day at breakfast. (plus coffee of course!)
Strong, black coffee and a bacon and tomato sandwich coming at you...
Honestly, I'm a northern American & been to the south plenty, & while I've seen a bit about it... I've never had any either, nor did I know the variants were all similar myself. I always assumed it was just starchy mush soup or cereal, AKA gruel. None of which ever sounded appetizing to me. It truthfully always seemed like food you had no choice but to eat, because it was all there was.OK, after hearing about this a few times over the years (including earlier in this very thread), I had to break down and look this up on Wikipedia to see what this actually was.

I prefer simple breakfast of hot lemon tea, dried fruit, fresh fruit, & a hunk of cornbread. I really don't need much in the morning. I do my big meal of the day at lunch time, so I'm not pounding back calories later in the day
I can use it.. after the workout I had today I just keep eating..Strong, black coffee and a bacon and tomato sandwich coming at you...

That link doesn’t work for me, so I tried googling a breakfast place close to my heart, but I just get this sketch, if the link works:
The link doesn't work? What happens when you try to visit it? 
It worked for me. I'll have Eggs Florentine please - hold the fries but add onion rings.The link doesn't work? What happens when you try to visit it?
It’s working now. I think it was a server not found error before.The link doesn't work? What happens when you try to visit it?
Most certainly you win! And on your way back from the victory circle you can hand me off a Scrambled Croissant.I'll see that bet, and raise you a Big Breakfast at Fran's Restaurant. I win!
