I'm not eating anything that looks like that. :puffscheekstoholdinbarf: I'm slightly hung over this morning and even the sight of that is making me queasy.

My dad loved that stuff, but I wonder if he bought it because it was SAFE in the fridge - much the way I would douse everything with jalapenos in college, to protect it from roommates.

My most common sandwich in grade school was bologna with sweet relish and mustard. Which in truth, I really didn't like. Until my mom FRIED the bologna. Then it was really just a flat hot dog.

Bologna and ketchup sandwich. :yay:

My mom used to buy Spam, but I didn't like it as a kid. As an adult, I sometimes buy the low sodium Spam and make ham salad for sandwiches. :yum:

:dead:


grew up on sandwiches mad with Arnold Brick Oven White Bread

Mom made all the bread...a dozen loaves every other weekend. Even ground her own flour (dairy and grain farm) First time I ate a piece of store-bought "white bread" I thought I was eating a napkin. To this day I can't stand anything resembling Wonder Bread.

No, I grew up in Nebraska where guts and other gross #### are a staple protein. Brains and eggs, anyone? :barfx1000:

Well..we raised and butchered our own hogs and beef. And chickens. And what we hunted. Nothing ever went to waste. :drool: :yay:

Liverwurst. Nice thick slices stacked up on rye, with several slices of fresh onion, with mayo, spicey mustard and black pepper liberally sprinkled on.


Mmmm....just talked myself in to a trip to Chief's for lunch...

Now you're talking! Good stuff. (Olive loaf w/mayo on Roman Meal was always a favorite of mine when we were shopping in commissaries).

Has anyone noticed the price of deli meats lately? Last two weeks it's been $10.98 a pound in Safeway. I had to check the next week just to see if it was some sort of mistake. Is there some sort of offal shortage?

Since it now costs as much a pound as steak does, I'm going for the steak instead. I don't know how people with kids are making ends meet these days - I know my paycheck sure hasn't kept up with rising prices.

Inorite? Food prices are offal high.


Speaking of...just got our annual Clifty Farms country ham and their catalog full of various pork-based goodies. My goodness...sausage almost $10 a pound now, for example. When I was still making my own, we'd sell it for $3 a pound.
