Does anyone eat mush?
 

I just got in from church and made a pot of mush for our family...Does anyone here ever eat mush? (cornmeal)

Re: Does anyone eat mush?
 

My husband used to eat it as a child. His mother made it all the time. I prefer oatmeal.
But I looooove Cornmeal muffins!!! (Fresh out of the oven with butter melting over it) MMMMMMMMMMMM

Re: Does anyone eat mush?
 

Oh, yeah! Me likey cornmeal mush. Gramma used to make that for me all the time when I were a young lad. The wifey makes it for me sometimes too.

Re: Does anyone eat mush?
 

Never ate mush But when I came to the Lord there was a young couple that came into the Church right after me & she made a mean potato soup.

I used to call it "swell swill!"

Re: Does anyone eat mush?
 

potato soup...yummy...

Re: Does anyone eat mush?
 

Some mexican resturants here in the States make it and have some corn in with it...it is sweet and good served warm...

Re: Does anyone eat mush?
 

Well, we just ate and no left overs! We were all blessed to eat until our hearts were content!

Re: Does anyone eat mush?
 

Pardon my ignorance, but how do you make mush?

Re: Does anyone eat mush?
 

what is mush???

Re: Does anyone eat mush?
 

1 1/4 cups cornmeal
2 1/2 cups water
1/2 teaspoon salt


is all you need...since ours was for supper I cooked some hamburger meat in red sauce with a little onion and tomato...and we poured the sauce over the mush..

You can fry mush... if you like it you can pour syrup over it or eat it with jelly.

When we had 11 kids at home I would make it a couple times a week!

Re: Does anyone eat mush?
 

I generally pour a spoon of cooking oil in the mush as it cooks...

Re: Does anyone eat mush?
 

I guess I have never had mush....I certainly do not like grits. I might try this sometime.

Re: Does anyone eat mush?
 

Come on over I will make it for you.

Re: Does anyone eat mush?
 

That would be thousands of miles, but I would love to come.

Re: Does anyone eat mush?
 

Barb, when my mom made fried mush when we were kids, that's how we always ate it. Are you saying that that is the wrong way to eat it? I don't know any other way.

Ron, I detest potatoes. But people tell me I make the best potato soup they've ever had. Want the recipe?

Re: Does anyone eat mush?
 

Yes...Post the potato soup recipe.

Re: Does anyone eat mush?
 

put it on here for me to! love you Margies3

Re: Does anyone eat mush?
 

I like fried mush for breakfast, but, even better is fried scrapple.

Re: Does anyone eat mush?
 

Ok, here's what I do for Potato Soup:

I chop up about 1 good size onion and about 3/4 c. of celery

I fry that in a dollop of butter in the soup pan just until they are soft and translucent.

Then I put in about 5 or 6 good sized white potatoes that I've peeled and cut into cubes about 1" square. Put just enough water over those potatoes to cover them. Not too much. Then boil them until they are done.

When the potatoes are done, take about 1/2 of them out of the pan and run them thru your blender to chop them up completely (mash 'em fine!). Add them back to the pan. Then pour in 1 large can of chicken broth, about 1/2 lb. finely chopped honey maple ham, 1 block of Velveeta cheese and about 1/4 gallon of milk. Heat that all together until the cheese melts. That's it. You're done.

It's really a very easy soup to make. It does make alot tho, so make sure you have plenty of people to feed when you make it. Enjoy.

When I make it, I make something completely different for me. But like I said, I get requests for it for potlucks and other dinners all the time. So it must be pretty good I guess. Let me know what you think.

SCRAPPLE:

Re: Does anyone eat mush?
 

Good Gracious, margie3, that soup sounds delicious....but do you have a "fat and carb" count? That would probably have a 1000 calories or more per serving the way I eat a serving of potato soup. :ursofunny

Re: Does anyone eat mush?
 

Scrapple is basically cornmeal mush, with about 30% meat scraps and broth that is cooked from bones.

A staple in the Penn. Dutch communities.

Re: Does anyone eat mush?
 

Sister I was with you until the block of Velveeta cheese.. I have never had potatoe soup with the cheese in it.... I will try it..... can you make it without the cheese?

Re: Does anyone eat mush?
 

I suppose you could. But I don't think it would be quite as good. Try it and let us know what you think.

Re: Does anyone eat mush?
 

It all sounds good!

Re: Does anyone eat mush?
 

Except for the potato soup, you all are whack!! :crazy


Uh, uh, this California girl doesn't do that grits, mush, whatever else mess you want to call it!! :eeeew

Although, my Arkansas bred great-grandma could make some mean chocolate gravy!! :mama

Re: Does anyone eat mush?
 

Is that polenta?

Re: Does anyone eat mush?
 

HAHA! I rememeber the first time my MIL made chocolate gravy... I thought I was going to throw up! But then I tasted it and it tasted like pudding, I said why do they call it gravy? If it had another name people would not be so afraid of it, but I guess if you call it gravy, then you can have it for breakfast!
That is still a story she loves to tell!

Re: Does anyone eat mush?
 

Well, no offense Margie, but I think MY Mother makes the best potato soup in the world!!!! :D (Although, I'm going to try your recipe--my kids love cheese, so they will probably love your soup!)

Here's her recipe:

Mom’s Potato Soup

Serves 4

Ingredients:
4 Potatoes, washed, peeled & cubed
4 c. water
½ onion, chopped, sautéed in butter
½ stick butter
1 quart of half n half or cream
4 slices crisply fried bacon, crumbled
1 can corn, drained, or equal amt. of fresh or frozen
fresh parsley, washed, drained, coarsely chopped
Salt & pepper to taste (fine salt & coarse pepper)

Boil potatoes in water until tender. Drain off about 1 c. water. Add cream, onions, corn, butter, salt & pepper. Heat through over medium/low heat, thicken with cornstarch if necessary. Spoon into serving bowls and top with bacon and parsley. Serve with toasted bread or homemade croutons.

JaneEyre, this is one recipe I haven't managed (or even tried) to slim down...so I'm sure it has lots of fat and calories per serving, too. :coffee2

I will say--you have to use real butter, and real cream or half & half, or this recipe will not be nearly as good!!!

Re: Does anyone eat mush?
 

LOL!!! My kids just had chocolate gravy for the first time, when we went out to North Carolina to visit my husband's parents in June. I managed to politely eat a bit of it on a biscuit (it wasn't TERRIBLE :D), but my kids LOVED it! They want ME to make it now. *sigh*

Re: Does anyone eat mush?
 

I will eat it but I like white gravy the best...

Re: Does anyone eat mush?
 

It is very much like polenta.

polenta typically has some kind of cheese added to it.


Mush.... i was introduced to it during my 2 months in Guyana. great memory.

Re: Does anyone eat mush?
 

we had plenty of mush like stuff at the childrens mansion growing up, yuk, but hey you gotta live, and in those days you ate what was placed before you, lol

Re: Does anyone eat mush?
 

I love Cream of Wheat!

That's not the same as cornmeal mush is it? :dunno

Re: Does anyone eat mush?
 

I like polenta...it is really fried mush...kinda like cornbread...

Re: Does anyone eat mush?
 

the stuff we called mush didnt resemble anything good, nuttin, lol

Re: Does anyone eat mush?
 

tastes pretty good if it is all you have!

However Raul Jr used to ask me, "mother, do we eat dogfood again today..?" The rich in Brazil make it for their dogs...
