A big bowl of grits with a hunk of butter and salted to taste . A cold glass of milk to wash it all down .

Chess pies. It's not so much redneck but southern.

There's not too much to making them and you can make a really great pie with the cheapest ingredients.

No redneck I, but one of the greasy spoons in town that caters to the subject clientele serves deep-fried Twinkies:

My grandmother would freeze off-brand coolwhip and serve it to us grandchildren as ice cream. She'd get a big bucket of it at a Sam's Club or someplace like it and get it pretty cheap for the amount she was getting. The amount was never an issue because we were always asking for it.

Also try cinnamon toast with peanut butter instead of butter. Mmm!

White bread soaked in milk, dipped in beat eggs, fried in pan, eaten with sugar and/or jelly. Awesome!!

I think that's what we call "French Toast" here, Hans!

Interesting subject by the way:

Swap the buttermilk with syrup and butter.

vanilla ice cream with chunky peanut butter mixed in.

1. Toast with lots of butter, chunky peanut butter over that- then sprinkle heavily with cinnamon- sugar

2. Chunky peanut butter spread on a banana that has been sliced lengthwise

3. Orange sherbet - WAIT- rednecks call it "sherbert"

Cold pizza.

I don't know if this would count, but some cold and sweet cornbread with a tall glass of tea. YUMMM!!! And as far as Blue Bell, OH YEAH!!

As an official redneck resident of Los Angeles, whatever that is, I present my favorite desert.

I think that your basic bread pudding would qualify. Take some leftover bread, butter, eggs, milk, and raisins and you're ready to go.

From my grandfather who was part hillbilly, part redneck:

Take a slice of white bread and pour some canned milk (sweetened condensed milk will do just fine) over it. Then, you eat it with a spoon.

We used to have this all the time when I was a kid at my grandparents that and rice (cooked of course) with milk and sugar. I think they were depression era treats.

Bread pudding is one of my all-time favorite desserts. It goes back way before the Depression, though--one of my cookbooks places it somewhere around the 13th century.

But you're not far off as far as its meaning--it used to be called "poor man's pudding". Add eggs, raisins, almonds, maybe an apple...

I like mine served wtih a bourbon sauce.

The result is an incredibly rich and dense custard - I have never been able to eat more than 2 bites.

There's a variation on this--Mexican leche quemada; essentially adds sugar and cooks to soft-ball candy stage. Optionally adds nuts or chocolate.

I think there's a Columbian desert very much like that with nuts and fruit. Very Tasty!

Very good with apples.
