An "Okie breakfast"......

[Changeling]

The price of corn went up dramatically due to ethanol use. Corn and barley are the most common hog feeds.

I know exactly what you are saying, trust me!

Now stop and think for a minute, Corn and Barley have always been #1 in feeding/fattening hogs, now figure out the cost/% of increase in this. Do you think that yesterdays hog ate more to get to 200 lbs than todays hog? Do you think it costs 30 to 40 % more to get the hog there, thats what the increase is but it dam sure doesn't go down to the farmer, jut get out and talk to some of them and see what % there income has increased .
The supermarkets (an example of a LOT) are using a new technique called price forward projections, this is a term I developed to figure out what they are doing, this is very easy with the cheap computer power available today.
If Harry homeowner buys a can corn and then you buy a can that projects a forward interest and the price will be raised! Of course corn is just an example! Not hard to do if you grocery shop to figure out/see for yourself. If you think for one second they care about you, dream on!!

Think about it !

I hear ya Changeling. The price of soda went up a while back because of corn syrup costs and the price of diet rose just the same.

I gets hard when the weather turns cool. I've blown my diet 3 times in 3 weeks.

Great thread on a staple food group. The Air Force Base restaurant back home has a great item on the menu. Super size biscuit on the bottom. hashbrowns piled on top of that. Crumble 4-5 strips of bacon on top of that then cover the whole thing in sausage gravy with 2 fried eggs and salsa on top. That a great military breakfast! Joe

Around here we just stir-fry the sausage into crumbs, add a table spoon of flour to absorb the grease, then add milk to desired thickness.
Jimmy Dean sausage leaves an orange colored grease. They have suffered sence being sold to Sara Lee. I use Neese's.

Winn Dixie brand sausage had Jimmy Dean beat IMO

Our Winn Dixie closed, and we're in Dixie.
