Fried cornmeal mush is the cat's meow. Slice a half inch piece of a
refrigerated loaf of mush, fry it golden brown in an iron skillet, put
butter and Log Cabin on it and enjoy. I still make it occasionally, but
I have to eat the whole loaf over time. My wife can't stand it.
There isn't enough butter or high grade syrup available on this planet
to make one ounce of 'cooked for breakfast' oatmeal palatable to me.
