My mother(who lived through the depression) ate lard sandwiches. They ate them during the depression and she got to liking them.
-——Margarine is about 1/3 the price of butter-——
But butter is better.
I learned on Free Republic how to bake artisan bread. I now eat one slice toasted with butter and marmalade for breakfast and two for lunch with butter or cheese and some fruit.
The fat from the butter has not bothered my numbers and the bread is good.
Bread and butter or cheese was the standard diet for we don’t know how long.
TOASTER: Would you like some toast?
LISTER: Uh-Uhm.
TOASTER: Some nice hot crisp brown buttered toast?
LISTER: Uh-Uhm.
TOASTER: You don’t want any toast then?
LISTER: No.
TOASTER: What about a muffin?
LISTER: Nothing!
TOASTER: You know the last time you had toast? 18 days ago. 11:36, Tuesday the 3rd. Two rounds.
LISTER: Ssshhh!
TOASTER: I mean, what’s the point of buying a toaster with artificial intelligence if you don’t like toast?
LISTER: I *do* like toast!
TOASTER: I mean, this is my job! This is cruel! Just cruel!
LISTER: Look, I’m busy!
TOASTER: Oh, you’re not busy eating toast, are you?
LISTER: I don’t want any!!
TOASTER: I mean, the whole purpose of my existence is to serve you with hot, buttered, scrummy toast. If you don’t want any, then my existence is meaningless.
LISTER: Good.
TOASTER: I toast, therefore I am.
LISTER: Will you shut up?!
Spaghetti with butter. If they had any butter. That’s it.
“fried egg sandwiches are great”
My Dad raised me on them, Plain in the morning, W/onion in the afternoon.
Baked beans over toast was his other trick.
spam, spam, spam, spam, Lovely spam, wonderful spam! Lovely spam, wonderful spam!
We add egg to ramen noodles all the time because we like it, not because we can’t afford other food.
Your name will be spoken in every household!
My mother lived through the depression and was a vegetarian for health reasons. She raised us vegetarians also. She added eggs to everything someway, somehow. She was always looking for a way to enhance the protein content of every thing we ate. Even when protein meat substitutes became common, she added egg or cheese to everything. She has been gone 12 years and still when I cook, I find myself thinking "Mums would have added egg to that".
How can vegetarians eat eggs or drink milk? So evil. :p
Beans on toast is excellent eating. British beans taste completely different (better!) to American beans though.
All the beans I had in England were just Heinz vegetarian baked beans.
They don't even have pork in em!
The sauce is different. That’s all I can really say. I was shocked and horrified when i tried American beans. You’d think Heinz would be Heinz. As for pork. That was also odd.
They're the same.
You probably had "Pork & Beans" which is what most Americans think of when they think of canned beans.
Pork bits of all kinds are used in the US to flavor beans, soups, greens. We put a smoked ham hock or turkey wing in our collard greens; without them the greens wouldn't be worth eating.
If you are this hard up, ask your neighbor for his leftover bacon grease and slather that toast sandwich with much needed fat.
Hmm, beans on toast, lovely.
In college we had a “Baloney on Hand” sandwich.
As opposed to cruising supermarkets looking for other things.....lol
