Guest guest Posted March 16, 2003 Report Share Posted March 16, 2003 Don't knock it until you tried it!! In a pinch we'd also have fried bologna with scrambled eggs! Been thinking about this though. Have you all noticed that many of the foods that we were given as children were mostly carbs and meant to fill us up? I know my parents lived paycheck to paycheck and some weeks they ran short. So here's some of the things we got! macaroni and catsup macaroni, warm milk, sugar, cinnamon hot dog soup ('s tomato soup with thinly sliced hotdogs, if Mom had a little extra she'd add cabbage to it as well) Dad's version of pizza-bread, cheese, catsup, oregano open faced in toaster oven. Fridays were fish sticks and canned spaghetti (good Catholic family!) In our family we always had rye bread and I used to joke that if you breaded it, fried it or put it on rye bread....I'd eat it!! Funny thing is that all these foods are still comfort foods to me. Can't say that I'd make them, but they represent a happier time. Go figure.
