Golden mushroom soup is a Campbell's upgrade that is virtually identical to the original but with fancier packaging (a gold "seal") and price tag... They both serve the same purpose.

@Latestarter no likey polenta? I don't make it or grits but something similar, corn meal mush. After its done cooking I add lots of extra sharp cheddar, butter, chopped ham, salt pepper and garlic powder. Served with a couple over easy eggs on top stick to your ribs breakfast...

I am going to give that Cream of Mushroom and Cream of Chicken mixture a try for gravy ... My gravy was good but its gone now.

WRT cornbread I like the sweet version. I dont make it often.

But I have been known to make Hoe Cakes. Cornmeal salt and very hot water stirred in till it makes a ball in the pot. Scooped out with a spoon rolled quickly in a ball and flattened with your fingers. Then thrown in a screaming hot pan with either bacon grease or corn oil.

When they are brown on the finger print ridges they are done. Great with Black Eyed peas or Greens or a big pot of beans and ham hocks.

I like oatmeal and cream of wheat/farina, but never really got into the corn based stuff... hate hominy... Don't do grits... never really caught on with me even though very similar to farina. Since I was born and raised in the north, we were never really exposed to the southern style cooking. Seems like down south they use a lot of corn based stuff while up north it's a lot of wheat based. I do like southern fried chicken though

My idea of a stick to your ribs Bfast (good for any meal IMHO) is fried potatoes/hash browns w/onions and garlic, topped with cheese, covered with over easy eggs, and a nice juicy thin sliced rib eye cooked medium rare or some nice loin pork chops on the side. Add toast and jelly, some OJ and a cuppa tea or coffee.. MMM MMM MMM. Good for 6-8 hours of work before hunger strikes again.
