Is this the line for the new thread.

I got turned around at Monkey Island.

My Mom didn't exactly make this, but I thought Chef Boyardee ravioli was the height of Italian cuisine.

I loved Chef Boyardee! I would still eat spaghetti-os (preferably with meatballs) if you put them in front of me right now. Isn't it funny how certain tastes can take you right back to a certain place and time?

I like those too, but have you tried the ones with sliced "franks?" Some stores don't seem to have it, but it is available.

Sliced franks? In a can?

Now THAT"S Eye-Talion.

Sheldon's mommy made him spaghetti with hot dogs cut up in it. Not exactly what we would call a delicacy but to him it was delicious, special because his mom made it and brought back good memories.

What is something that your mom, grandma or other special person made for you growing up that some people would probably turn their noses up at, but you love because it's from your childhood?

My mom would take a piece of bologna, put a scoop of mashed potatoes on top of it and shredded cheese on top of the mashed potatoes and then she would put it in the toaster to let the cheese melt and the bologna curl up. 😁

No doubt every doctors and nutritionist on the planet would at the thought of this treat.

Anyway...

Homemade Apple Turnovers made with apples picked fresh from my Gran's tree then...FRIED IN LARD!

Is it any wonder I'm a vegetarian today! (But, loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooved them back then!!!)

with ring pasta and sauce it's Spaghetti-Os.

with baked beans and sauce it's Beanie Weenie.

I can't remember ever having Chef Boyardee with franks in it, but I do remember eating what my mom called Beans n' Franks growing up, which I think is similar to Beanie Weenie. Now you're making me want to eat them, too. Ah, the comforting rush that a can full of sodium can bring.

That sounds delicious! And I think back in the day lard was synonymous with love.

Thanks. I had forgotten all about the Mary-Penny, "Love-Lard" exchange. As a person with southern roots, I can tell that even today they haven't given it up. Like my sister's sister-in-law, it's fancy-schmancy cooking oil on the counter--and LARD in the cabinet underneath.

Once Upon A Time...

Grans loved to cook for their grandkids. Lard made everything light, fluffy, and tasty. Grandkids enjoyed treats...and Grans ENJOYED watching their grandkids enjoy treats.

Grans treated you the way parents would have treated you...if they didn't have to raise you.

https://www.supermarketguru.com/articles/5-reasons-to-choose-lard-as-your-cooking-oil/

"Nutritionally speaking, lard has nearly one-fourth the saturated fat and more than twice the monounsaturated fat as butter. It is also low in omega-6 fatty acids, known to promote inflammation; according to lard enthusiasts free-range pigs that eat greens, not grains, have higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids.

Lard has always been prized as a cooking fat because it has a higher smoking point than other fats. For that reason, foods fried in lard absorb less grease. It also has the reputation of producing ultra-flaky pastry crust.

Cans of lard are available in supermarkets, but most of these products have been hydrogenated so they’ll last longer and are probably not what you want. The best lard is considered to be minimally processed “leaf lard” from the area around the pig’s abdomen and kidneys or fatback lard from the pig’s back. You can get these at high-end specialty markets or online."

My grandma used to let me sit on her kitchen counter and eat jumbo flavored, different colored marshmallows that she kept in a special place in her cabinet. I wish I had someone these days who would keep a hidden stash of marshmallows just for me. ❤

It’s the “pig“part that me. No matter the benefits...I’d never be able to get with .

AS FOR THE ARTICLE:

When I read: "…and even as a quick breakfast…eaten spread on a piece of bread!” -

All I can envision is a large glob of greasy Elmer’s Glue landing on a piece of toast.

Now, I'll have to ask my sister's sister-in-law if she knows anyone (has heard of anyone) who eats it this way.
