How many nights I've been out in the city drinking and partying and wake up lying face down in a plate of White Castles in Huntington, NY! LOL! OMG! Oh and the one in Brentwood, LI.

Did anybody used to get served the grayish mystery meat "hamburgers" in school? They tasted like soy burgers taste today but I don't think they had soy meat back in the day. Also, we used to get these little square mystery meat pizzas once every couple of weeks. We would never buy that crap outside of school but I guess it says a lot about the rest of the menu that we went nuts over somewhat tasty food of unknown origin.
You guys had pizza?????[rich kids]hehehehe!
Oh, yeah. That's what they called it when they put gravy on it. I also remember they'd put it on a bun, soak it in gravy, sprinkle some reconstituted onions and add a pickle to it. Gravy burgers were always a huge hit in my high school. They got some good use out of that "meat" didn't they?
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa..marv,i ate so much bologna as a kid that i won't touch it today,aaaaaggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh!!@@#$#@%%%^%&*&$ #@@!!!!

We were blessed with 'shit on a shingle'...which was aptly named!
I once saw that-sandwich??? On a plate at grady's,and i was gonna order one...until it crawled off of the plate an out the door!!!
Oh, man, I make SOS every couple of weeks. Although I use plant based meat instead of hamburger. It's a quick, cheap and easy way to prep a main course. Used to use the same recipe to make creamed beef and creamed ham on toast. Now a days, I put ketchup on the toast with a slice of cheese. Goes great with home fries.
SOS is a slop recipe that the military used to serve to servicemen.
What about school cafeteria Sloppy Joe's and Spam's cousin, Scrapple?
I used to hate Spam. Braunschwager too. And from the time I heard the name "potted meat product", the idea of digging meat out of a flower pot and making some sort of product from it was a non-starter. I guess I wasn't a big fan of Armour-Star foods. Didn't even like Vienna sausage.
Who remembers-ring pudding? Which was sold at markets and was not pudding at all but pork and pretty good too!
I bet robb remembers it..hey robb?
That looked gross. Head cheese looked gross too [[and the name didn't help it at all).

My father had a small "Ma & Pa" grocery store on The South Side of Chicago, and in The Crenshaw Area of South L.A., so I knew what Soul Food is. We had Chittlin's, salt pork, head cheese, souse, and all kinds of pork sausage. i grew up in a home where my grandparents kept kosher, and we didn't eat pork [[although my parents and all us kids ate Chinese food, which is not kosher. Of course, when I ate at non-Jews' houses, I ate what they served [[but declined politely to try souse or head cheese!) :D

That had fat and other stuff taken from inside the pig's head. Souse, the jelled stuff that looks like that, but also has green things in it, also had turkey beaks and other disgusting parts of fowl as well as pork. You couldn't get me to try that, and I've eaten some pretty questionable things while working in 3rd World countries [[but not chocolate ants or fried grasshoppers.
We recall the wonder and delight of "Gov'ment Cheese [[a brick) and peanut butter in the 55 - gallon metal drum!! But what about
powdered milk? Mom's forced it on us kids once. And even that was one time too many.
Bleckkkk!!
These were my arch enemies when I was a kid.......Lima beans! My mother and I would have a complete standoff in the kitchen at the table because I wouldn't even put them in my mouth. Everyone would be outside playing and I would sit there and stare her down until it got dark! LOL!

Here's one - drinking out of those reusable Welch's Jelly jars, as drinking glasses They had cartoon characters on them.
Mine too. But when the church around the corner began distributing it and my folks saw that the line [[which stretched halfway down the block) was filled with people who stepped from brand new cars, they went over and got a block. The people it was intended for stayed in bed and showed up in the afternoon. With that being said, we never got a second block. What kind of "cheese" doesn't melt on a hamburger?:confused:
I remember those. Also remember Kool-Aid knockoff Wyler's.
