So the story goes. Hard to say what the "original" version had, but
I've often thought that the folks that began the "redeye revolution"
probably didn't have much money, and coffee was a scarce commodity in
most parts of the South. It's hard to imagine they would wouldn't drink
it "till the last drop". I've had it many ways and if it's made with
weak coffee I don't mind, but I really prefer it just made with
water....Unless, of course, you've got some good "pot likker" around!!!
