Oh, and cheese in a can is super useful if you have a dog that needs pills on a regular basis.
There's your advertising slogan right there!

I found this. "Salad Fixins’ Original. Contains: Sesame Sticks, Raw Sunflower Seeds, Slivered Almonds, Cranberries, and Pepitas.
Thanks - this sounds great. Perhaps fixins vary then, certainly nothing here to feed Niles and Frasier's fear of fast food and their "arteries slamming shut!"

I actually made some cornbread yesterday as part of this recipe for Tamale Pie
very tasty & very filling, being inspired by the American food posts. although it's not processed by any means.

Fine for a cupboard filler but I would probably just stick to a tin of beans & sausages or just beans as I have to be in the right mood to eat fried egg and would prefer freshly fried.
That may be for those with fond memories of NAAFIs. Warm it, tip it onto bread for speedy breakfast. Best done with cheap white sliced & 4 slices. Flatten 2 slices to make the sealing bit of the sarnie & the other 2 on top. Posh folks can fill pitas with it.

ps.. as for American cheese, best thing to do with that is roll it into a ball and throw it at the enemy.

If you're on the computer just click on the blue line with your mouse/pad to open them.
To paste them, i just copy the URL , that's the address line of the website - select it - highlight it, next use your copy function command and finally paste function to put it into your post.
You can't be as bad as you say. Hope I haven't made it as clear as mud.
Not ignoring you but I haven't tried yet, bit apprensive to be honest, once I have done it I will be saying to myself "for goodnes sake Maddie what was difficult with that"

Grits sound dreadful, they may taste nice, but not for me,I only have corn flakes for
breakfast, I take it that is went Grits are eaten, I'm not very adventuress at trying different foods.

Grits are served with all meals. Shrimp and grits is quite a popular dish.

It's not a million miles from Polenta.

Grits are great. You can eat them all sorts of ways and they won't complain a bit. They're there for filler, like mashed potatoes or rice or porridge. If you eat farina (I think that' the generic way to refer to cream of wheat) or the above mentioned polenta, which is just a different grinder plate size (okay, and usually yellow corn rather than white) then you can eat grits.

When I was a kid, I'd eat them with butter, milk and sugar, but then again, that's how I ate all hot cereals. Later, I learned the way to eat them without getting side-eyed was with butter and salt. They work both ways, truth be told. Cheese grits are good too. Especially with a little jalapeño to give them a kick.

Oreos.

They are ******* vile.

Stop buying them.
What's wrong with Oreos? I like them. Even better coated in pancake batter and deep-fried.

Corn bread is lovely, I've made it a few times and it's really nice. The best I ever had though was in a restaurant in San Francisco, it came to the table in the tin it was cooked in, fresh from the oven and with a whipped honey butter. I couldn't get enough of it!

Aw man, someone mentioned grits? I love them, salty and buttery with a runny fried egg on top. So expensive in this country though, not fair. Polenta is a poor second cousin.
