Hmmmm never had chocolate gravy on the menu... but it sounds very interesting.... Anyone care to explain how to make it and what foods do you apply it to?
 
Ma I knew you would know about red eye gravy.
 
It's a regular here at our house.

When it comes to Southern food choices, I've found the food to be good but some of the handles given it (chocolate or red-eye gravy) a tad bit weird. Who dreams up this stuff? :) I must admit ... 'de Kaye's' choices sound much more appealing, to me, being that I'm mostly vegetarian.
 
You pour, spoon, or drizzle it over your buttered biscuits! Some people put it over toast, but I don't like it over toast. It's simple. All you need is milk, cocoa powder, sugar, flour, butter and a little shot of vanilla flavoring. Heat it all together in a pan and you get the chocolate gravy. :)

Red eye gravy starts with grease from a ham with coffee added to the grease and simmered for a short period of time, then poured on to the biscuits, its a recipe that has been a staple in southern food for a long time!

Thank you for the recipe Lisa. I'll do my best never to make it, but I still love you Lisa.

My daughter-in-law is a dietitian, just one of the many crosses I have to bear, and she would have a pink fit if she read this thread.

Look at Hank's comments: "Red eye gravy starts with grease from a ham with coffee added to the grease and simmered for a short period of time, then poured on to the biscuits, its a recipe that has been a staple in southern food for a long time!"

Grease, chocolate gravy, donuts covered in icing sugar!

I tasted one for breakfast in California once; overly sweet, greasy and all around horrible. One is sufficient to kill a brown dog.

My friend stayed overnight in Tennesee once and was given prunes soaked in moonshine for breakfast.

She lived, but doesn't breakfast in TN any more.

So dear US cousins, the more I read about your breakfasts, the more I love Australia!
 
dad didn't allow us to each much of it because he didn't want us to have bad teeth....and guess it worked as I still have my own, although fillings and a few crowns are in my mouth! Both he and mom had false teeth before they passed away in their early 70's! They both worked hard and didn't have the good foods to eat during the Great Depression, which does make a difference between being healthy or of ill health! May God Bless us to not have those conditons of the earlier years any more! Amen! :angel: Ma Betty
 
Well, it's no secret, but you're more than welcome!

It's funny how different parts of the world and even different parts of our own countries have different ways of cooking, eating, etc. We all think the other person's foods are odd. Many of us here would probably think the food there sounds rather bland - but I sure would like to try it some day! :)

I did try aussie food it wasn't much different than ours, the red eye gravy was so called invented during the civil war when soldiers had to use what ever they had to make there meal taste best they could, I don't have it only once or twice per year, but Aussie cuisine did have aligator tail on one of the menu when I was there, but the beer was great, I think I was at a Ned Kelly's pub, in Perth. Beautiful place, it was nice to actually talk to people and understand mostly what they was saying unlike a asian country, and the Aussie people was really nice there and I got my first tattoo was in Fremantle, I never heard of prunes soaked in moonshine. For breakfast new one on me.
