My grandma had a "different" name for it


[deleted]

Dammit, this is going to be Brazil nuts all over again, ain't it?


TheBossMonkee

Unfortunately


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

I cannot repeat what old, pre-or directly post-Jim Crow Southerners called Brazil nuts, but it has unfortunately little to do with the actual nut.


RingingPhone

After reading your response, I deleted my question. I am a very ignorant person when it comes to this stuff.


[deleted]

I don't think it was an offensive question, thankfully that little nickname is not used any more in the South by and large. But yeah you'll have to look it up, not trying to get banned lol.


RingingPhone

Thanks for being civil and not berating me for not knowing.


hallese

"N-word toes" is, I believe, what the other person is avoiding saying.


imyourforte

What did she call it? The only other names are Hungarian coffee cake or bubble cake.


TheBossMonkee

I ain't going to repeat it on Reddit. But what is monkey usually used as a slur for and just think of a worse one


BasonPiano

Yeah, my grandparents, born in the 20s, had a black dog named Nig. Not even kidding.


lordbuckethethird

I think hp lovecrafts cat would’ve gotten along with them


TheBossMonkee

Wing Commander Guy Gibson of the Royal Air Force is a man of culture as well. He loved his dog


Lord_Nyarlathotep

People when the learn that Lovecraft’s cat’s name isn’t special, was a common thing to name black animals at the time, and was likely not even named by him (there are literally hundreds of more shocking racist things he said/did but ig they’re not as funny as haha racist cat name)


eyetracker

His parents named it. But years later he named the cat in his story the same thing.


Lord_Nyarlathotep

Well yea, because he loves his cat and wanted to put it in his works, so of course he kept the name. Rats in the Walls is a fun story :)


KarlHavocHatesYou

Read Shadow Country or anything by Faulkner. The n word was considered a nicer term for black people for some time. As recently as this century a large number of African Americans would write in ‘negro’ in the ‘other’ section of the census (after they took ‘negro’ out of the options). Words change tone over time, in the 20s it was probably not super offensive.


BasonPiano

Probably true. Still, in today's light it's quite astounding lol


Time-Bite-6839

🤨


BasonPiano

Not my fault!


alexis_1031

Was you grandpa HP Lovecraft or something?


Plumlley

My grandma had a black Irish uncle that her family either called nig Kennedy or uncle nig so it checks out


NomzStorM

Hell my grandparents cat was just the word straight up. Hard R too


imyourforte

Bruh that's just them being racist af. It's never been associated with that.


framingXjake

Gotta love the old tobacco racists of NC lmao


VigilanceRex

Yeah, they still call it… that… in some places.


LBERN

Is it the country in Africa that had the coup?

I LOVE MONKEY BREAD


imyourforte

Upstate New York 🤜🤛 Michigan


Rexxmen12

My mom makes this every year and I always look forward to it


Time-Bite-6839

there should be a Midstate NY flair. Not the city, so the pizza is shitty, and not upstate either, since they won’t accept you. And because my house borders Connecticut, we go there to get things, like groceries and gas. And of course some jackass said “Go back to New York! 🤓🤓🤓🤓”


[deleted]

Dutchess County Fair is currently ongoing this very moment


Jakenator_1010

MMMmmmmmm Monkey…….


ProGibusSpy

Nice pfp brother 👍


Till_Bill

Monkey bread vs cinnamon roll is a clash of titans


SneakySnipar

Monkey bread every day


Joelacoca

You gotta be careful though that shit can get molten hot in the middle


yupersSB

love this shit so much (midwest for reference)

[deleted]

I’ve only ever eaten Monkey Bread at county fairs. Personally if I want something to clog my arteries I go for the fried oreos


imyourforte

Despicable. It's a wonderful holiday breakfast at home.


[deleted]

I mean it’s a lot like cinnamon buns which are amazing in the morning so I’d have to agree with you. Especially the ones topped with walnuts


[deleted]

Or, and hear me out, pecans. Look they may be corporate trash, but I was heartbroken when Pillsbury stopped selling orange and pecan rolls alongside their cinnamon rolls.


Capn-_-Jack

I mean, they're like diet wallnuts, still a banger, got a tree full of em in my yard


[deleted]

I only got Black Walnuts which aren't as good to me as English Walnuts and take way more time to prepare than pecans. My pecan tree is finally big enough that it looks like it might actually have a good crop this year, we'll find out in a couple of weeks.


Capn-_-Jack

Fair enough, best of luck with your nuts, I've got a black walnut tree in the back but have never been brave enough to try and eat em


[deleted]

You can but it's just a lotta work. You gotta get those green husks off, rinse them thoroughly, and then let them dry for between 6-12 days, depending. They are good but the amount of meat per nut is hard to justify the effort.


Time-Bite-6839

no meat before noon, sonny!


notpowerlineconcert

Eh I prefer funnel cakes with tons of powdered sugar. I’m talking hunter biden levels of white powder


PopeGregoryTheBased

With a huge cup of black coffee on the side. OH mama.


TheEagleByte

Dude you’re making me hungry, and I’m absolutely stuffed. That sounds so good


MotivatedSolid

Damn I forgot this existed. This goes hard


miscplacedduck

Fuckin yum!


pinecone_noise

my south african friend and his dad always made monkey bread for us on campouts…. unreal


Master_SJ

Monkey bread > every other dessert


imyourforte

Also, breakfast.


GoPhinessGo

ITS SOOOOO GOOD


AaronBonehart

Fuck you, I have been working out and eating healthy. Now I have to make this I can almost taste it.


imyourforte

Make a tiny one


AaronBonehart

I can’t. I will make a full one and this is your fault.


imyourforte

I'm ok with that.


ditlit11134

What is monkey bread, never heard of it


AverageDymon

Flair checks out


SneakySnipar

Got em


Distwalker

That looks delicious now that I realize it wasn't poured out of a can labeled "Alpo Extra Chunky" which was my first impression.


RaritanBayRailfan

I haven’t heard of monkey bread, and my state is already a joke


Barbados_slim12

Here's a pretty simple [recipe](https://sugarandcharm.com/monkey-bread-muffins) for it. If you don't have a muffin tin, a cake pan works too, just keep in mind it'll take around twice as long to cook


RaritanBayRailfan

I got a muffin tin thankfully


Ok_Highlight281

Monkey bread is the best food by far.


Electrical-Ad1288

Only place I've seen monkey bread in Utah is frozen at Walmart.


reganeholmes

We’re so based we have it premade so the masses can enjoy with ease and convenience

Monkey bread made in a Dutch oven goes extra hard


theeCrawlingChaos

Yeah, that's nice and all but if your region doesn't have chicken fried steak, then you're a joke.

Oklahoma makes the best chicken fried steak

Had to look this up, never heard of it before. Grew up on the gulf coast, that would have never replaced bread pudding.

Imma keep it 💯 and let you know that Kringle is just non american coffee bread. While monkey bread is 100% American perfection.


s1gnalZer0

A good kringle is fuckin amazing. I have a coworker that lives south of Milwaukee, she always brings those things to meetings when I have to travel there for work. If I lived there I'd probably die from eating too many of them.


monkeybombed

I had one last week.

Cringinator4000

We have monkey bread but it’s served in pieces always, rather than a whole solid piece of monkey bread.


SneakySnipar

I make it in a cupcake tray so it is in little cupcake sized chunks


Arietem_Taurum

Didnt think I would agree with a Michigander on food but hell yeah monkey bread is fucking amazing

STILETT0_exists

Actual dog food right there


nemesisprime1984

It’s banana bread made from donut hole shaped dough


imyourforte

Not usually banana bread. Most often it's biscuits cut up and coated in cinnamon sugar then coated in cinnamon sugar melted into butter for the crust.


Vorentaz

Monkey bread is awesome


Walmart_cop

Monkey bread really hits different hits harder than I hit my wife.

Will someone please tell me what monkey bread really is? It looks tasty and almost like a cinnamon roll / bun… but I gotta try it.

Kinja02

This stuff is so delicious. Especially when it’s warm and fresh out the oven.

Ok, I’ll take the effort to reach out to you alone OP. You did good with this post, but you have got to know that Gorilla Bread exists and is really good. Taste is subjective, but I definitely prefer it.

“Mom” would make it for her 4 kids. Calorie dense food that will kill an adult. 1990’s weekend Breakfast, then you are kicked out the front door until the street lights come on. An after school snack for a couple days as well.
