I have taught my kids to eat sausage with maple syrup. Mmmm....

But Karo syrup? EEEK! Sounds yukky. However, I base that on never tasting Karo syrup, only using it in baking and such. I think we have some in the cabinet. I will eat a teaspoon of it soon and report back (if I live).

David, or anyone else that don't know.

I don't think you have any idea what it is to be hungry. See if you can go a couple of days without food.

J_J, life's experiences are different for everyone. I know I have no idea what it is to go hungry. I do, however, know what it is like to get the #$$% beat out of you every few days for 4-5 years. How's that?

Speaking of hunger...
I remember when I was a little kid I was staying with my grandparents at their fishing shack of a cottage up in Michigan. My grandpa and I were not very close and this was the first time I had stayed with them. We were in the cottage and my stomach made some horrible grumbling sound that he heard. He asked if that was my stomach? I replied yes. He looked at me with a look in his eye that said he'd been there and experienced that as he said "No one should ever be that hungry." He opened a cabinet and got me some Pecan Sandies cookies and a glass of milk. Then we went fishing. I still like Pecan Sandies to this day.

I like Karo syrup, especially the dark Karo, on pancakes or waffles and if some gets on my sausage and eggs at the same time, that's fine.

I'm with you guys on the sausage/syrup combination. We would usually use karo on pancakes if we were out of maple. As a kid I'd eat it but preferred maple syrup.

Grandma Stewart always made these big "cathead" biscuits. Man, a dalop of butter or peanut butter on those or some flour gravy....I'd take some right now! My Grandad would mix some bacon grease and coffee together sometimes and poor that on his biscuit. Called it streaky gravy. I never ate it but little brother would.

Okra, I love it. Fried mainly but I did try it pickled for the first time this year. Not bad. We've got some making in the garden right now.

Polo 1655, good comment! I guess you mean Okra Winfrey. Never tried it, doubt it that I'd like it!!

BTW, How did we go from fresh vegetables to Karo syrup and streaky gravy??

Here's a version of not-so-fast food. She didn't outrun the 30-06! Cow Elk taken last year in the Wichita Mtns of Oklahoma. Man! That's some good eatin'!

Yep, I know all about that too. I guess the church my grandma went to took us away from that mess, and I guess the orphanage was a little better.

How did we get away from fast food? Sometimes there is no fast food, just nothing, and now, I eat just to darn much.

I tried some gardening once, and I never had any idea how many tomatoes would grow on 40 vines, we ate a bunch and gave the others away.

I do admire you farmers for the knowledge that some of you have, and the ability to make it happen, plus the headache and the heartache when things don't go right.

O.K. I tried a spoonful of light Karo syrup. It had no flavor, just a little sweetness. I would eat it in a pinch but would rather see it made into pecan pie.
