OMG! Just like my grandma! Must be a local!

Wow! I didn't realize they still existed. I used to love those things!

My brother still eats them -- I'm always screaming at him that he's too old for that shit, but he doesn't care. Oh, to be a man.

OMG, I forgot about these! I'm going to have to go out and buy a package and gobble them up!

But for all those calories I would want something that tasted nice!

I remember my mom taking pieces of bread, the sliced sandwich kind, and use it to sop up the juices and fat drippings in the pan from cooked meat and then eat it. Back then I think I liked it too but I bet now I would find it disgusting.

Also, raw hamburger meat. My mom would salt it and let us eat it, little pieces not the whole package, because she did worry a little about bacteria but still, you would never let your kid do that now with all the e-coli scares and mad cow disease.

Almost all are heavily salted, which is bad for you and tasteless.

Salt isn't bad for the vast majority of people. There are a small number of people who are salt sensitive and have high blood pressure. It's ok for everyone else. A friend who does research at NIH told me this years ago, and then I later saw studies that proved it. Why this myth persists is beyond me.

Actually, salt has a taste. It's usually described as "salty."

I have never had Waldorf Salad but googled it and it looks pretty healthy - fruit, veggies and nuts. what did people hate about it?

We grew up poor but rural, farmland poor so none of the processed food city kids ate! We had a massive garden in the summer - probably 1000sq ft and we canned and preserved a lot of food for the winter. In the summers we ate pretty much only what came from the garden. The neighbors had chickens so we had cheap eggs. We bought half a cow each year form a nother neighbor and that lasted a long time! My mom made breads, yogurt, most other foods from scratch. once a year we went into the city and went out to eat - usually a bagel shop as our family of 7 could eat there for less than $20 at the time. It was a highlight of the year - only with the once a year we got packaged cookies (Oreos one year, Fudgeos the next!).

Just interesting how location made such a difference in what we ate as poor folks! I still eat pretty much everything from my childhood....and a lot more! I should go back to that diet - would be much better for me.

Just interesting how

One staple of my college years that I think they discontinued: Uncle Ben's Rice Bowls. I basically lived on those things.

They still havebUncle Ben's rice bowls. I saw them at Giant.

God, I loved Steak Umm's.

I can't be the first to say this, but a brick of Ramen noodles. Perfect for the dorm room hot pot.
