No Manwich, grits or cornbread???

Yeah, post it here, please! 

Yuk, grits!

Yuk, grits!

Amen to that!  I have never been able to acquire a taste for them.

The only good grits I've eaten are my stepmother's. She makes grits the usual way, then she mixes in raw egg and cheese and bakes until brown. So it's a cheesy omelette with a little hominey assist.

The other thing is to chop up your bacon and eggs in it, but that's bacon and eggs with a hominey assist.

Grits. Pleh.

Ok mine may sound gros but I am telling you to TRY it..

Mince
1/2 of a green pepper diced up into really small pieces
1/2 of a onion again diced up into small pieces
Ketchup (about half a bottle)
Mustard (about 2 good tablespoons full)

Basically your sautee the meat and the onion and green pepper until the green pepper and onion are soft (drain the fat as this can get pretty greasey if you don't) and then add ketchup and mustard until it become the consistancy you want..if you like it a bit less saucy don't use at much and if you like it really saucy use more.  I use more ketchup (about a half of a bottle) then I do mustard (about 2 good tablespoons full) the more mustard you use the tangyer it is so I taste it to make sure it is right, and then I simmer the mixture for about 10 mins and then serve.  I know it sounds gross but it is pretty good.  Also if you want it a bit sweeter you can add sugar but I like mine tangy so I don't use it.  

Also it is great to make and then put into a crock pot (slow cooker).  I made a large crock pot full of it over Christmas and sent it to work with hubby and everyone loved it and when the women asked me for the recipe they admitted that if I would have told them what was in it before the tasted it they wouldnt have eaten it, but they love it and have made it several times for their own families.

Thanks for posting that TheButchersWife-Next time I'm at the butchers I'm going to get some mince and try it.  I haven't had sloppy joes/manwich for years....
And I actually like grits..

My sloppy joe recipe is very similar. If I have it, I just use a BBQ sauce instead of the ketchup and mustard combo.

I love grits. Adam was excited to try them, until he saw what they were. Then he gagged.

"Why do they call those Yorkshire pudding? There clearly isn't any pudding in them, on them, or about them?"

Was one of the first things I asked my husband.

Because you can eat them as a sweet dish with jam or syrup.

I've always made Sloppy Joes from scratch, even in the US.  They're so easy even I can't wreck them.  I've never had Manwich though so I don't know if it tastes the same.

Same could be said of black puding!

Good old American corn pudding isn't a dessert either (thought it can be made with sugar and served as one).

Probably the same reason a Steak and Kidney Pudding is called a pudding, or Black Pudding.

Pretzels are hard to find, too.  You can find basic pretzels but no cool ones like Newman's Own salt and pepper pretzels or Harry's broken up burnt pieces of pretzels or any of the "Dutch Style" big fat pretzels.

OMG I dont remember what brand these are (Herr's maybe?) but I loooove ranch-flavored sourdough pretzel bits...

Ah--one could ask the same thing about the "jello salads" that were a feature of my midwestern childhood.  How does a combination of jello + canned fruit + Cool Whip + mayonnaise + godknowswhatelse = "salad"?
