[quote=Anonymous]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 [/quote]
