I voted for Bacon, as the choice looked good to me. I like CFS and Eggs and Link or Patti Sausage for breakfast too.

But Bacon is the Prime Choice. Here is an example of a small side of bacon and a few Link-Sausages with an order of Biscuits and gravy at the Brown Hotel in Louisville taken a few weeks ago. I passed on the eggs that morning....Gotta watch that Cholesterol Count !!

P S I won't touch Pork Roll, just for the nick-name it gained during my service days. I love S-O-S, but can't even think about eating "DONKEY DI*K!"

Please don't tell me you ate all of that.

Haha, this plate of bacon reminds me of my friend from college...he absolutely loved bacon. On BLT days, he would get an entire plate of just bacon and that would be his lunch (or dinner, depending on when it was being served).

He was a TWIG, too. Nothing but skin and bones. I know I could never eat that much bacon, lol.

Al, boy does that look good!

Does anyone know what dry cured bacon is. I saw some at the grocery yesterday. It was in a 3 lb. burlap bag.

NY strip steak leftover from last nights dinner. I slice it very thin and just sear it
in a hot pan for about 10 seconds on each side. it was "rare" the night before.
Of course, there's hash browns or home fried potatos served with it. Sometimes,
a couple of eggs "over easy" on top of the sliced steak.

Scrapple has more of a sage taste to it, while you can taste the bay leaf in goetta. Both of them are great, though. When I was a kid my mom called scrapple "poor man's pate." I like to nuke chunks of it and spread it on buttered English muffins. Time to pay a visit to my friend in Philly, I need to stock up.

Not really but you could make them taste kinda like one another easy enough. Texture is totally different as you would think( steel cut oats vs cornmeal mush). Bayleaf in goetta makes a big difference as does the 1/2 beef 1/2 pork that is traditional (I use good sausage and chuck). I like scrapple egged and crumbed and fried crispy. Goetta just fried on cast iron. It makes a neat egg cup cooked in a muffin pan(make sure you spray good), and scrapple probably would too. Don't know if I'd care for scrapple in a breakfast burrito or omelet but goetta's pretty kickin' in that regard.

I did think of something closee to meat I like at breakfast...pork brains mixed w/ scrambled eggs.

I had been told that goetta was very similar to scrapple, except made with oatmeal rather than cornmeal. I didn't get a chance to try it until about ten years ago, when I finally saw "eggs with goetta" listed on the chalkboard menu at a small family restaurant in rural Pennsylvania. The goetta slices were crisply browned on the outside, tender on inside, and were accompanied by both honey and syrup. I thought it was delicious.

I remember in the '70's going to a conference and staying at the Brown Hotel. My breakfast looked like that. Those people really knew how to cook. And the signature sandwich was to die for. Thank God for Louisville.

When I was in the Air Force, we had it everymorning and a lot for lunch.

I think due to it being available at almost every meal, the terminology SOS came into play.

I sort of enjoyed it. I think I had it about everyday myself. It seems about eveyone I knew had it.

I don't know when it acquired the SOS name.I'd guess, though, that the reason it did might have had something to do with the way it looks.

Stouffer's makes a frozen food like that and it's not that bad either.

I have bought the Stouffer's frozen chipped beef many times and it is great over toast.

I always enhance it by adding more black pepper.

Thanks for reminding me of the product. I have not bought it in several months.

I actually like turkey bacon best. Country ham is also good, as is well made maple sausage.

This country cookin' sounds good. It's reminds of the old Charlie Daniels tune "The South's Gonna Do It Again"

Steve,
SOS is the slang term used in the military to label one of the basic breakfast dishes. "CREAMED CHIPPED BEEF ON TOAST". While the real deal used the dried little pieces of thin sliced (and quite salty) beef, most places today used ground beef (or some other meat ground up) to add to the peppery white gravy. Replace that ground meat with ground Sausage and put it on Biscuits and you have another traditional breakfast menu item.

The 'nickname' has been around for so long, and is used so often as a term of endearment NOT insult, that many places simply label the menu item as S O S rather than write-out the longer description.
Sorry for the duplication of information. Hoffman is talking about food served in the Union Army, I served in the 20th century !!

It depends. For civilians it is creamed chipped beef. In the service it is ground beef in a cream sauce served over toast. At least, that's what it was when I was in the service.

[url='http://www.lyricsdownload.com/ween-pork-roll-egg-and-cheese-lyrics.html']Pork Roll Egg And Cheese[/url], by Ween. It's the classic NJ sandwich. Pork roll's got a texture like fried bologna, a taste like mild Spam. Taylor Ham is the same thing, made by the Taylor company. Other companies make it, too. It's never eaten cold, like a cold cut, always fried in a pan or grilled.

RE: Best breakfast meat (BBQ Barney)

Watched a Travel channel show the other night that featured "Taylor Ham"--the product was described as "pork roll" but looked to me exactly like Spam. I know I've admitted that I don't know what "pork roll" is, but would someone expand on the subject. Is it processed meat like spam, really salty ham, or it depends on the area????

You are correct it is sausage gravy with some pretty fair biscuits.

As for the dietary comments...
