Oh hell yeah. That was some good eatin.
Scrambled eggs and hog brains...
I eat it as a sandwich on toast with mustard. One of my favorites, and my father's before me.
Fried braunschweiger and onions.
How bout a bad food memory? My father used to tell us all the time about the hobo pizzas he ate all the time growing up when funds were tight for the 6 kids. I told him to make me some one day. He asked if I wanted the fancy kind or the other kind...... Hobo pizzas consist of whatever bread you have, spread some ketchup on and sprinkle cheese on top then throw in the oven. I should have gone for the fancy kind, that uses real pizza sauce. Most nasty thing I've ever eaten...
Must be a Dad thing.
We did this too and we added canned tuna as well. We mixed the tuna with the mayo then spread it on the bread and topped it off with the slice of tomato and cheese and popped it under the broiler. Called it a tuna melt.Growing up one of my Dad's favorite snacks was taking a piece of toast, coating with mayo and a slice of tomato and covering that with a piece of American cheese. Toss that baby under the broiler until the cheese browns and you've got yourself a masterpiece of snacking proportions.
I must have ingested several pounds of worm guts and dirt as a kid. If Grandma wasn't fast enough, I'd be in the door and shoveling food in my mouth before she had a chance to tell me to wash my hands. Seems like she caught on after awhile and stopped calling me before she had finished setting the table and started waiting until everything was done and she could nab me at the threshold lol. Always reminded me to wash behind my ears at bath time too. God those were good times.
Dang... now I'm craving Braunschweiger... I think it's going on the grocery list tomorrow. I always ate it on crackers. Here's another "dad snack"... he always ate saltine crackers crumbled up in a glass of milk. Never tried that myself.
Mostly it was cooked like a hamburger with carmalized onions. Sometimes the onions were just sliced.Wait a minute, you can fry this stuff?!?! You have my full an undivided attention, do tell!!!
G\I tried a reunion with Spam last year. I only had it a few times and that was while I was in the Army. We were training at NTC the first time and I smelled it coming from a few tents over. I walked over, looked in the little skillet and said "I don't know what the hell that is but I'll give you $20 for a piece of it". He obliged and I thought I'd found nirvana. The few other times I had it were also under similar circumstances. It'd been 20 years when I decided to give it a whirl last year. I bought two cans, one is still in the pantry lol.
