My mom used to cook fried cornmeal mush — hominy grits cooked and cooled in a bread pan, sliced a quarter inch thick, and fried in butter until brown.

[...] week, we talked about calders, and I was not surprised in the least that Sylvia knew all about it. She’s a fortunate woman [...]

I don’t know why but this totally cracked me up! I am laughing right now. I would LOVE to see the look on my family if I opened a drawer, cut off a piece of congealed mush and served it to them. Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha:)

I read about this before and thought it interesting. I’m always looking for quick breakfast ideas but somehow I don’t think this would fill the bill at my house. Especially not if I whipped open the drawer in the morning and sliced off their breakfast.

I'd keep it in the fridge. With my luck, by the second day it would be growing mould. .-= Marg´s last blog post... Winter preparations =-.

Being Scot/Irish myself, I can tell you that calders (or caulders) isn’t as bad as you think. Its a lot like what some call “Mush”. Only, mush is made with cornmeal.

Caulder doesn’t always sour. The only sour caulder I ever had was in the summer. And then, its not so pleasant, at least not to me.

Cauld is the Scottish word for “cold”. So Caulders, really just means ‘cold stuff’ or ‘its cold’. )
