Re: fish for breakfast
Fish for breakfast isn't so unusual in a deep woods campout, which is probably where Gomer got the idea. Apparently he thought Andy typically had fish for breakfast at home as much as he had eggs, toast or those delicious Post cereals.

Fish For Breakfast
My first mother-in-law was very much a country gal and looked forward to having 'salt fish' for breakfast. The fish would come packed in large plastic tubs and were - yup - packed in salt. She said it was only available in months with an 'r' in it (January, February, March, April, September, etc). It was fried with eggs and no matter how much you rinsed the fish, they were salty enough to curl your toes! I could take it only in small amounts and occasionally, but she and her husband eagerly looked forward to this morning meal.

Fish For Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
When I was just a boy, my grandfather and dad would take my brother and me to upper Canada for a week of fishing in the wilderness. It took us two days to get there driving and two days back so just left five days of fishing, fishing and more fishing. We would be on the lake at the crack of dawn, catch our breakfast - fish - build a campfire and eat our breakfast. Then we would fish for a few hours, build a campfire and eat our fish for lunch. Then we would fish a few more hours, build a campfire and eat our fish for supper and fish some more until dark. The same routine for five days and then bring lots of frozen fish home to eat for the next several months. Fish for breakfast is gd. I don't think Andy and Opie ever went on that long a fishing trip, especially to catch Carp for the museum.

The other day I recalled having fish for breakfast. In the northeast lox on a bagel is a breakfast treat, especially served at a brunch! ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Fish for Breakfast
I must admit that I have never heard of anyone having fish for breakfast... Paul Mulik Paul, Here's an interesting instance of someone eating fish for breakfast. Jesus said to them, 'Come and have breakfast'...Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and so with the fish. John 21:12, 13 In the Service of the King, Larry J.

Fish for breakfast
While it is not a common breakfast meal here in the U.S., my British son-in-law of 14 years, tells me kippers (herring) and eggs is a classic English breakfast. I Googled “kippers and eggs” and he’s right as rain. Herring is, of course, an ocean fish-and probably would not have been the kind Andy would have prepared for breakfast. Now that I think about it, a pan fried trout and scrambled eggs sounds really good for breakfast. Ken in NC ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Fish for Breakfast
Fish for breakfast? Sure! Grew up on a farm in Virginia back in the '40s and many times we had fish for breakfast. Why not?? It is good, sweet, nourishing, easily fixed, and if you get fillets there is no leftover to contend with!! My mother was especially good at fixing Whiting and I sure would love to go back about 70 years to have another helping of italong with her pan of cornbreadBatterbread we had for breakfast almost EVERY day of the year!! Slice it open, put a slab of real homemade butter in it and let it melt and soak in, and Yum Yum!! So fish for breakfast? Sure!! And one last thing...we didn't eat breakfast, lunch and dinner. That was a northern thang! Southerners ate Breakfast, Dinner and Supper. So if I say y'all come for dinner, and you show up at 5PM all the food will have been et a long time ago!!

Fish for Breakfast
Fish grits for breakfast. A southern tradition! At least in my part of the south. My mama would be more than satisfied to eat leftover fish from the night before for breakfast.

Fish for breakfast
Don't forget that Gomer once presented Aunt Bee with some freshly-caught trout right at the breakfast table (much to her dismay). Gomer said something like, I know how the sheriff likes his fish, so I got up special early to catch him a mess for breakfast. I must admit that I have never heard of anyone having fish for breakfast, and I've been an amateur angler my whole life. I also have never seen anyone wear a tie while fishing, except for Mayor Stoner.

Fish for breakfast
In the episode Opie's Rival, Andy and Opie are first seen fishing. Then go ashore to have a fish fry. After that they drive back into town and meet up with Peggy. Andy makes a comment about Peggy being the the sharpest looking nurse in Mayberry that morning, stating it was still morning. I was wondering did Andy and Opie have a fish fry for breakfast? Don't knock it till you have tried it I guess. :-) Patty ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Fish For Breakfast
When I first began staying at my wife's home place after we were married I was pleasantly surprised one morning when we had pan fried fish for breakfast. There is a small spring fed lake on their land and it is filled with pan fish. My wife said her father always had fried fish for breakfast. I have to admit it was very tasty ;especially when it was fried in a cast iron frying pan like Andy used with Opie. -- Ken Anderson The Mayberry Guru 2906 May Street Eau Claire, Wisconsin 54701 www.themayberryguru.com www.mayberryreflections.com ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
