That's actually a Greek recipe. It's called Pastitsio. My mom does a pretty good one but contrary to what they describe at Wikipedia uses a 50/50 mix of beef and pork which makes the meat sauce juicier. Would you like the recipe?
So they do! Particularly all sorts of stews. And I find that beef and onion pie, too, gets better if it had a day's rest (and plenty of worcester sauce).
Well I won't say no. I enjoyed the version I made but the sauce was simple and maybe a little tangy, otherwise it was an excellent combination.
What's weird is that you mention onion and beef pie above and I downloaded Paul Hollywood's recipe yesterday to make during the week! There is definitely some kind of channelling going on in this thread

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 visited a friend in Hawaii and we had grits for breakfast one morning. They were actually quite salty and the texture not quite like porridge (oats) but like polenta?? I guess they can be prepared differently. Of course we had this distinction between biscuits and scones too to tease each other about AND biscuits and cookies.
Not laughing, but HONEYED grits are awesome! And 'Liberals' look to the future, not the past.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.

( and grits are made with hominy corn, not oats)
I've never had polenta either, but the Wikipedia article did say grits was similar to polenta because they were both corn-based porridges.
The article mentioned "hominy grits" as a specific type made with hominy corn, but there is apparently a version made with just regular corn too? It didn't really seem to go into which type was more common.
Well, 'porridge' can be any boiled grain, but my understanding is this; there is sweet corn and feed corn.I've never had polenta either, but the Wikipedia article did say grits was similar to polenta because they were both corn-based porridges.

Hominy is made from feed corn, while sweet corn meal is used to make 'mush'. Same thing, one is
white, one is yellowish. We call boiled wheat 'cream of wheat', oats is oatmeal, hominy is grits,
and sweet corn is 'mush'. Probably wrong, but I'm from California, so what do I know?
I was totally with you right up to the 'chicoried coffee' part. Not a fan. Everything else, awesome!Country fried steak with scrambled eggs and hashbrowns, with a side
of honeyed grits, and a tall mug of chicoried coffee.
THAT'S breakfast!
Q2
I lived in Georgia for almost five years ... I still find grits so extremely gross, lol so sorry @UncleRogi.
great minds (and bellies...)There is definitely some kind of channelling going on in this thread
My dear, I won't argue with you. All things are subjective. Your loss
Marynator, I recommend you see your GP. Not eating much for a day is quite ok but for a whole week it's a bit unusual and could be a sign of some sort of illness sneaking up to you. Or are you one of the people who can't eat if under stress? If so, is there some way we could help? The advantage of being old(-ish) is that one has been in pretty much every shit that could possibly happen and therefore knows how to deal with the problem.
I had a homemade panna cotta for breakfast today. With fresh perfectly ripe strawberries covered in pollen. The forest is in full bloom and everything (including my keyboard) is covered in pollen. 10 seconds after you washed it off, a new layer is on. A bit annoying but at least edible (high protein, even)

Thank you so very kindly for your concern @rhubarbodendron I am very moved. I think I might just be a little lovesick. I see my doctor on Saturday and I'll bring it up to him for sure.
I made cheese and pepper omelets for breakfast this morning and they turned out so very lovely. I have some "english muffin bread" I picked up from my bakery that tastes wonderful toasted and spread with jam.
