We were fed lots of chicken too... a favorite was when Mom made Shake-N-Bake coated chicken....RedheadedStranger » 10 Oct 2023, 5:14 pm » wrote: ↑ When I was a kid chicken was cheap too, especially certain cuts. The leg quarters were always on sale and the wings were considered a trash cut so they were typically cheap as well.
I remember buying chicken wings for .29 a pound when I had my first apartment. Now the damn things are on "sale" for 4.99 a pound, if you can find them.
We had a huge chicken processing plant in my hometown so the yard bird we got was typically still clucking just a day or two beforehand.

When I was born, America liked Ike - and I grew up in a country where moms didn't let ANYONE do any shaking or helping in the kitchen. We did for ourselves.
Well - that is not STRICTLY true. My mom let campbells make the soup. But she roni'd her own damned rice and balled her own meat.

Well apparently the one for Spam is 1-800-523-4635. I'm thinking about calling. Anybody have any questions to ask this nice lady who sits by a silent phone all day?

My mom was an excellent cook. We had salmon patties maybe once every three weeks.RedheadedStranger » 10 Oct 2023, 5:59 pm » wrote: ↑ We had Salmon patties on the weekly dinner rotation.
Good old Double Q... mixed with flour, corn meal, onions and various other pantry staples and left overs, and then fried to golden perfection.
That was my least favorite, but damn if I wouldn't eat every bite and ask for seconds.

Whenever I binge eat spam, I spray APA liberally.GHETTOBLASTER » 10 Oct 2023, 6:47 pm » wrote: ↑ If you smoke cigarettes the malaria carrying mosquitoes will leave you alone.
Now you eat so much spam that you reek of it when you work up a sweat...well then mosquitos, bears, wolves, cougars...they will all be working overtime to cut your life short...!

APA is Apex Predator-Away Spray. I invented it. It's made with cigarette smoke and armadillo farts, and it is 100% effective in keeping apex predators at bay.
I can ham my cake and DEET it, too.

AS A KID NONE OF MY FRIENDS LIKED IT OR EVEN ATE IT. MAC AND CHEESE, YES.
WE ATE A LOT OF CHICKEN AS IT WAS CHEAP IN THE 60'S. ONCE A WEEK FISH OR BEEF AS THOSE ITEMS WERE A BIT MORE EXPENSIVE.

This is from a can of the bacon flavored mystery goodness.

The thing is if this can is the protein in a pot of beans or rice that's feeding 6 to 8 people, then the numbers aren't too bad.righteous » 10 Oct 2023, 7:35 pm » wrote: ↑ I CAN'T HELP BUT CRINGE ON THE 520 MG OF SODIUM FOR JUST 2 OZ.

It's definitely a survival food, and not intended as a daily staple.
