Same here.I remember Mom & Grma frying mush using bacon grease....Yum! They also made their own syrup with sugar,water,butter & a drop of maple or vanilla.MIL kept mush in a stone crock & just removed it as needed.This was in the winter,but with 5 kids to feed, doubt it lasted long.

We used to get it from a mill and it was more gritty and delicious fried. DH likes it with butter and maple syrup. Bob Evans Restaurants have it on the menu for $2.99 for two tiny little slices. It cost less than that for a whole bag plus DH would need about four serving or more.
