The thumbs-down are breakfast haters. Sad, really.

Here in the South, if you tell someone that you "love them better than biscuits and gravy", it meant true love. If someone tells you that they don't like biscuits and gravy, cut them out of your life. You don't need that kind of negativety. Thanks Santee for the video as always.

I don't know how the gravy is out west but in the south we like it so thick that if you have any left over you can use it for caulking.

The Kent Rollins cameo nearly killed me.

Man, there's nothing quite like sitting down for breakfast and seeing this in my suggestions. What a great to start the day. Hotcakes tomorrow!

As a kid growing up in the 40's my breakfast (prepared by my grandma) consisted of a couple of fried eggs, a bowl of oat meal, two or three slices of toast with apple-butter and a glass of milk. Breakfast of champions! Grandma thought breakfast was the most important meal of the day.

Howdy, Santee. New old west enthusiast here. Well, fairly new anyway. Lived the ranch life in my younger days and wish to return to it one day. Love the videos and love the simpler ways of days gone by. Your videos give me a glimpse into a time to which I feel I belong. I tip my hat to you, sir.

Ice Cream in the Old West. Wyatt Earp loved it and had some almost daily! Wonder where that ice cream shoppe was located in Tombstone?

I still prefer the "unhealthy" breakfast we grew up with. Pancakes, bacon, eggs, bacon, grits, bacon, coffee and of course some

For breakfast according to Grandma when she was growing up with her aunts and uncles, her Grandma and Grandpa (my Great Grandma was a single mom, because my Great Grandpa died in mining accident). Breakfast was key for a good meal of the day. My Great Great Grandma made a spread toast, coffee, eggs, bacon, and pancakes. Because most of the family had to work in the morning. My Great Grandma had a lot of support from her family. There were eight siblings in her family. My Great Great Uncle used to work in the cargo ships distributing grain. He was supposed to rake the grain to even it out, while wearing mask. It was back breaking work. This was in Superior, Wisconsin near Duluth. A newspaper mentioned Great Great Grandpa Kelly, did what many people did back then and moved out west.

I wonder what the old time cowboys would have thought of hot sage sausage for breakfast. I make my own from ground pork bought at a Mennonite farm, and I don't stint on the sage, black pepper and cayenne. The cream gravy I make from it is excellent on grits. And the sage sausage and gravy (on rice) is good for suppers, too.
I know that line, "Slap some bacon on a biscuit, we're burning daylight" is from The Cowboys. Love any movies with John Wayne in them!

Sitting here eating breakfast when I got the notification. Thanks, Santee!

Any video that starts with a clip from "The Cowboys" gets an automatic thumbs up... well... to be honest, Santee's videos always get a thumbs up...

On bacon, up until the 1920s, it was considered more of a lunch and dinner meat used to garnish other dishes. We have Edward Bernays to thank for bacon being paired with eggs and a short stack. He was hired by the Beech-Nut Packing Co. to help increase sales of bacon and he came up with the idea of selling it as a healthy meat that got people going in the morning. Bernays is also responsible for America's love of bananas, thanks to a campaign he started for the company we know today as Chiquita after WWII. He also did work for the cigarette industry, which at the time would not be seen as a big deal. During WWII, he did work for the US government in the Public Information Service and also for the Army and Navy.

Bernays is not all that good of a guy though. Contrary to what you might read about him on Wikipedia, it was Bernays that taught Joseph Goebbels about propaganda. While they are right that he didn't directly "work for the Nazi party, " to say he had no influence or played no role is a lie. He was also a strong proponent of eugenics and abortion and worked on campaigns promoting both, as well.

nice that you have your own dedicated taste tester 🤣

and the cutaways are some of your best, Kent’s cameo was seamless and hilarious 🤣😎

I just happened to make a pot of coffee (Folger's 1850) and was sippin' outta your cup when I found the new video. I still remember the old days in PA when we'd have fresh speckled trout for breakfast with bacon & eggs in a cast iron skillet on a wood stove left over from the 1850's.

Me: the fastest hand in the west

[bezz]

Man I truly learn so much through these

Always been a huge fan of cowboys and western history


Man I love eating bacon and scrambled eggs with cornbread and a coffee while watching your videos!

[TheBlueRoan]

I still make hoe cakes. It's a great way to have cornbread with out heating up your oven. Good for breakfast with honey, bacon, and a cup of your favorite coffee.

Sitting here drinking my coffee and enjoying my bowl of oatmeal I guess times change but breakfast will always be the same .. thanks again Santee for another excellent video as always
