What do you serve for breakfast to overnight swinging house guests?

[rpu3]

In the few situations in which breakfast would be served, I'd be SOL if it weren't for scrambled eggs. I don't cook, and my repertoire is limited if I am forced to cook. Luckily my spouse does like to cook, and the one friend have been around in overnight situations also cooks. Both are generally inclined to do the lumberjack type breakfast.

We do as often as the kids can talk me into making them. I couldn't find a good picture of biscuits and gravy but here's what I found.

This has been a cool thread. We have so many people on here from so many different places, it's been fun seeing and hearing about what different foods everyone eats. Thanks for starting it SW_PA_Couple.

Looked like a bread cake to me (with the bacon inside)!

Well, that's what we call them in this part of England....

OMG, you need to come to the south baby where we'll show you how to EAT!!! I'll cook you up some eggs and grits, bacon and sausage. Then you take the biscuits and that thick ass white heart clogging gravy. You sit 2 buscuits on a plate and some gravy that has been cooked with some sausage in it.....let it sit so the gravy softens up and sinks into the buscuits....dammit now thats eating.

oh god now that doesn't appeal to me at all i have to say shelly! mainly because i really don't eat meat (i'll have a rasher every once in a blue moon).
now some american pancakes would do the trick!! lol
what are grits?

as far as breakfasts go, if you ever come to ireland you have to try an Ulster Fry!! Absolutely gorgeous!

[Tom & Bonnie]

Grits are what those of us in the south call polenta...

My favorite breakfast was one I prepared for friends of ours from deep in the heart of Cajun country in Louisiana. I surprised the Sunday morning with Grillades and Grits... Ohh man, Chere! Laisez les bon temps roulette!

We haven't had overnight guests yet, but if we did, my honey would probably fix us waffles, eggs/bacon/grits/toast, or his kick-ass Grand Marinier french toast. If it were left up to me, I'd fix some bacon quiche tarts 'cause you can do them ahead of time and freeze.

Okay, now I'm hungry!

What's a rasher? How about the Ulster Fry?

Not so sure about the rasher, but the Ulster Fry must be good because here in the South we believe there is no finer way to prepare just about any food than to drop it in some hot grease

Grits are basically ground corn. Lots of ways to eat them, garlic grits and cheese grits are two favorites. Then there is hominy, or hominy grits. Field corn soaked in lye solution for several days until the entire shell comes loose and the kernel swells up big and white. Those are good just with butter.

Biscuits and gravy are good for any meal, especially during the winter. Just to make things sound even stranger, the best biscuits are homemade "cathead" biscuits.

Fun thread!

I have to concur with this.

I still can't eat a waffle without saying - "remember the waffles Good Times makes?"

The lady at IHOP usually just looks confused.

PS - Oh, and if we aren't terribly hung over, Mrs Spoo makes a total lumberjack/B&B-style breakfast. She cooks upstairs and down If we are hung over, we go to Bob Evans...

What we serVe our guests is a variety of choices. Due to our location, everyone needs to drive and spend time on the road. One thing that goes over big is, I purchased a commercial waffle maker, the same batter used in the waffles can be used for pancakes. They choose and the maker and griddle is hot for them . We will have either ham,bacon, or pork links. This choice is theres also, for over the years, have tried many combinations but this seems to be the most popular. Coffee, milk,juice. Now everyone has a full tummy and a big smile on there face. CONTENT

Looks like lumberjack breakfast has, thus far, received the greatest number of votes. There is one option I failed to put onto the list -- out to breakfast at a nearby restaurant. I wonder if any of you have made or received this invitation.

Now that I think upon it, I also forgot to put Haggis on the list. But that would be breakfast in Scotland, not Ireland, wouldn't it?
