When I was a kid we didn't get much meat to eat. Especially lunch meat or anything pre-fab/pre-cut. I thought Bologna was what rich kids ate and I thought the lower middle class kids were rich because I hung out with them and when I went to their house sometimes I would be fed lunch. I usually only got lunch at school for free (pink ticket). The lunch at my friends would sometimes consist of bologna sandwiches and sometimes even Doritos or potato chips (Which I also rarely ever saw which made them un-fucking believable tasting!). One of my happiest memories was sitting out on my buddy Mike's porch on a summer day and chowing down on a bologna sandwich that his mom made me on white bread. At the time it was the best thing I ever tasted. So salty with mayo and yellow mustard oozing out of it. doritos in a plastic sandwich bag that had no ziplock. The bread was as soft as a marshmallow. I could barely contain myself. It is burned into my memory. I couldn't believe they would throw the sandwich bags away because they were still good to put things in! View Quote |

Creamed Tuna on Toast.
Peanut butter sandwiches, toasted in the broiler, and a glass of cold milk to dunk them in. |
|
Not my youth, but as a young man in my early 20's, I often enjoyed a can of tuna fish mixed with salsa. Yummy

Pizza burgers.
This was the 60's so personal pizzas weren't around every corner like now. You take hamburger buns - the more stale, the better - split them, lightly toast them, put canned pizza sauce on them, and top them with cooked ground beef, peperoni, ham, cooked sausage - whatever, and cheese - even plain old sandwich cheese. Then pop in the oven and brown the toppings. I think I'll make some this week .... |

Bread from the Yugoslav state-run bakeries.
Goddamned it was good. Slice of that bread, some Thomy mayo, good to go! |

Mom used to make corned beef hash with eggs for dinner all the time. I loved it but I haven't had it since she passed away in '81. View Quote |

Campbell's chicken noodle soup with a bologna/miracle whip sandwich on white bread.
I would dip the sandwich in the soup. ETA: fish sticks happened a lot too |

Morrisons meat pies... Covered in Chile... (no beans) Or, soaked with Creamy Tomato soup, or with Beef Barley soup. God I miss those... |

Anything my grandmother cooked. On the other hand, my mother (if she cooked) not so much, however I never ever criticized/questioned her after learning what a good right cross and sharp tongue she had.

My grandmother's "Bullets".... Ground beef burgers with lots of seasonings and copious amount of crumbled soft white bread mixed in (to extend the amount of patties)... deep fried to a crisp in veg oil and boy they were awesome.... I have tried to duplicate them many times but never have come close... need to retry that, hmmmm

View Quote Grandma F could make fantastic homemade noodles in chicken broth from scratch, and yeast rolls that were out of this world. My mom made great vegetable soup, fried chicken, and pot roast. Sadly My Dad's mom cooked everything too much and with too much grease in it. |

Pepperoni. SlimJims.
I can’t remember the last time I had them. |

A slice of white bread with butter and sugar sprinkled on top.
Bologna sandwiches and tomato soup. I occasionally have it, but not like when I was a kid. My favorite dish was real ramen noodles from Japanese restaurants when I lived in Japan. It took decades before true ramen became available in the US. Now, I have ramen whenever I can. |

Where do I start???
Spaghetti-Os with meatballs Peanut butter and pancake syrup sammiches Canned pork bbq on a toasted bun with mayo. Green bean and butter sammiches on white bread. |

My grandmother made canned meat and gravy over white sandwich bread for me when I got off of the school bus. That was so good. Haven't thought of that in years.

Hamburger gravy over mashed taters or elbow macaroni. Good stuff back in the day.

Platski Attached File
or Polish potato pancakes. Pan fried and sprinkle sugar on top, crispy on the out side and soft and hot on the inside. Also Kruschiki Attached File I could eat about a million of um. They are kind of a pain to make, have to get the dough just right, roll it thin, then put the slit in the middle and give it the flippy doo to give it the bow tie look. Edit: not my pics but same as what I have had. |

My Nonna (actually my great grandmother) used to make some of the best meals. My brother and I used to spend a lot of time with her after the divorce. Handmade pasta, passatelli, split pea soup, glumpkies and her cheesecake was to die for. We didn’t know how good we had it.
I’d still go over after high school for meals and to catch up. Sad day when I stopped in one afternoon to her eating a chicken sandwich with all the bones still in. Nobody ever thought to get recipes from her until after her dementia got bad and she always cooked from taste and memory. |

Her funeral is Friday. |

This is gonna sound a little weird, but it's really good. Haven't had it in probably 10 years since I moved out of mom and dads.
Cube steak, grill it till it's browned pretty good. Dump 1 large can of cream of mushroom soup. Add half the recommendation of water to the soup Cook until hot and steak is tender. Serve over a hot bed of French fries. holy hell its good |
