Potted Meat

[Getback]

So, it's probably from dolphins 

 

What caught my eye was the "Food Product". What was it Clark Griswald said in National Lampoons Christmas Vacation. They didn't make food Food Product but Food additives. Some one clear that up for me.

You know the stuff that gets cleaned out of commercial bug zappers?

Thats a food product you know. On the back label where it says protein, thats what the protein comes from

With a big ole slice of a tomato and a thin spread of mustard on white bread....AWRIGHT!

Add in some ruffled tater chips...if you have the money for them and you are on like a chicken bone.

Wow...don't know why I didn't make the connection before but that Deviled Ham logo would look great as nose art!

I remember very well going on vacation in the mid 1960's with Gulf gas station orange horseshoes on the windows (two and 3 mile caravans of military vehicles on the highway everywhere) and stopping for lunch and having mom crack open the ice chest.

Our fare consisted of:  potted meat, deviled ham, vienna sausages, tuna, and crackers.

There's nothing better than sitting at a roadside table in the Great Smokey Mountain National Park at 5,000' elevation eating tuna & crackers.  Seems every phreeking bear for 1,000 miles shows up and scares the bejeebus out of everyone.

Also nothing like Vienna Sausages that's been in an ice chest so that the liquid turns to a snot-like substance.  Thanks mom!

I liked potted meat sandwiched as a kid.  Then again, I never read labels back then either.

Three cheers for pot pies!

My older brother and i went camping one time.  I was in charge of food for a week.  I wanted stuff that was easy to make and wouldn't spoil.

To this day we tell tell the story of the Dinty Moore Beef Stew we both threw away.

Yep it isn't a bad thought there Diablo.

ROX,

I too remember the times on vacation as a kid and stopping for lunch at a road side rest area and eating the aforementioned foodstuffs.

yessir that there is Sunday dinner, when we could afford it, back in them days.

Hardee's and Kentucky Fried Chicken was considered fancy eating places. (only thing in town for years and years)
way back then, it was a very rare treat to go to town just to eat at those fancy food places. alway dressed in our best Church clothes just to go eat at them places. sometimes we went to the 5 and dime store, just to see what they had. all the clothes we had that wasn't handmade came through mail order. Sears and Roebuck, yep Roebuck, lotta youngins ain't never heard tell of Roebuck.

I'd say some of yas may think I'm nuts.

but believe this, not everyone was born with a silverspoon in their mouths.
some had steel spoons. some had copper spoons. some had wood spoons. some had a stick whittled into a spoon. some had clam shells for spoons.
some had no spoons atall.


I guess I'm done rambling for now, got to get in the bed.

Sears? We couldn't afford that fancy stuff. Monkey Wards was what I wore if I got new clothes at all.

One of my earliest memories is living (yes, living) in a roadside park. My older sisters would hold up a blanket while I stood in a wash pan and Mom poured icy cold water over me.
