Yep, 100%...Any protein really.

It better than what most people equate for breakfast... donuts and pastry items and some type of a specialty coffee that has whipped cream on top.

But for lunch they get a  garden salad, fat free dressing and a diet soda cuz they're watching their calories...?

What's wrong with donuts?

 

 

 

Hey, @J Francho, if you want to get all gangster with the donuts, have at, man! I won't lose sleep over it....?

Judging by all the cooking shows, good cooking is on the rise.  Recipes and techniques come and go, but eating well is always in style.

 

   I definitely agree. I guess I should have been more specific. I grew up in an area populated by old-fashioned people who followed old-fashioned ways. What I miss are those old-fashioned recipes, many of which were uniquely local.

   I guess it's just nostalgia. Part of being an old fart.   ???                        jj

You mean the kind made with whole & real ingredients and not something containing random homogenized, pasteurized and triple filtered selections from the periodic table of elements which no one can pronounce ?

Yes, I miss those as well.

growing up on the gulf coast it wasn't uncommon for me and my dad to eat boiled shrimp at all times a day...sometimes for 3 meals a day! Every now and then ill fry up a few perch or gill fillets next to a couple eggs...old school fisherman's breakfast!

 It's really comical how many loaves are in my daily IG feed.

Don't want to make you feel left out here.  Just pulled this out of the oven.

Must be the cold weather.  There are many restaurants here that are breakfast only.

Here too, or at least breakfast and lunch. I can walk to one of them in like 5 minutes from my front door but it’s shady!

   Pardon me. I like seafood for breakfast. Mom used to fry crappie for breakfast when I was little. But I guess I've never associated eggs with fish. Eggs and shrimp? Yes. Eggs and turtle meat? Oh, heck yes! But eggs and fish or eggs and mollusks? Nope.

   Have I been missing out on a big slice of the world?      jj

JJ I hear you about old recipes. The Perogie recipe disappeared when my grandfather passed 30 years ago. Legit Polish stuff. I've kept a couple alive from the Irish side of the family though. 

Old fashioned cooking is alive and well here, it wasn’t that long ago TVA brought us electricity

My mother-in-law was a Wisniowski, loved her cooking!

I've had fish for breakfast many times. Fried crappie fillets, or fried bream fillets. Once, while we were visiting family in Iowa, we caught yellow perch and cooked them the next morning. Those were really good.

I have beef jerky marinating right now. It will be on the dehydrator tomorrow.

The best breakfast deep-fried fish is camping out - cooked over a campfire in a dutch oven.  Get up early and run the trotline.  

The hot crisco in the dutch oven is just right when it lights a floating wooden match.

Put 80mi on the snowmobile this afternoon.  That always makes me want bar food.  Sourdough rye rueben and some wok deep fried fries.  Holy hell did that hit the spot.
