the real secret of trad style

Ritz and Saltine crackers. Nabisco Graham crackers too. Was there anything else growing up? I think these defined the boundaries of gustatorial experience in old New England.

Re: the real secret of trad style

Like me, Cheeky will remember paste sandwiches as a 'Trad' Anglo delight. Did you have them in the US?

Re: the real secret of trad style

I have memories of Underwood Deviled Ham.  Not sure if this makes me trad or trash.

Ground snouts and tails (ie, everything but the oink) -- the leavings swept from the abattoir floor, squished into a can or casing with salt and 'seasonings' makes for one hell of an animal by-product sandwich.

I personally believe that's what goes into everything from no-name hot dogs to Underwood deviled anything to Vienna sausages.  Anyone ready for lunch now?  smile

Re: the real secret of trad style

It was all meat paste or fish paste round here when I was a nipper. What meat or fish was a mystery known only to the manufacturer (Shippams?) and he kept schtum.

Anyone remember pork luncheon meat, the slightly posher version of spam? 

And still, corned beef beats all comers.


Me? Conspicuous? Lady, I'm the invisible man.

Thomas ol chum,

Peanut butter.  As ol WFB propounded -- if peanut butter were as expensive as caviar, it would be served at Buckingham Palace.

Re: the real secret of trad style

People may be clueless, But all of the stuff to me is perfectly familiar. This is what we ate, before the food revolution. You want to be a Wasp. Try eating the stuff people ate in the 1950s.
       Wait, wait: anyone remember Creme de Menthe over ice. The preferred drink of my very elderly aunts? They weren't wasps, but they sent my mother to a college prom at the Plaza Hotel in the 1930s. a lot of us rode in the wake of the Kennedys even then.

Re: the real secret of trad style

the ones my great aunts drank were definitely green. there is a clear version of creme de menthe, though. I am too young to answer the question.
