Salmon patties and pork and beans. Fried bologna and mac and cheese, beans and cornbread, fried potatoes. Potted meat sandwiches. Polk salad
Possum stew from the railroad tracks behind the house. We did have that commodity milk and cheese no carnation once a month.
You know, I would love to have a sloppy Joe from grammar school or even the S.O.S. I had those when I managed to have a quarter for lunch.
Fried tater patties made from left over mashed potatoes the night before, salmon patty look a likes. with stewed prunes. We didn't know why we had prunes then but we found out later it was to keep all us kids regular. (Some of ya'll don't know what that is).
Grandma's are all about keeping folks regular..
Had my share of the stewed prunes. Didn't know why when I was young, just ate them because they were available. I know better now!
We were but I never knew it after my dad took off when I was 12. We had a big garden, my mom canned everything and made several kinds of pickled vegetables. Being from east Tn she always made biscuits and gravy, corn bread, could fry and bake anything. She made sure we never went hungry. I was very fortunate
We came up so poor, Daddy would make us wait til after church on Sunday to pick the tomatoes for lunch to give them extra time to grow
