    Hate to tell you buddy but in Mississippi  we had tomato sandwiches and potato chip . Born in 58.  The legacy goes on.

    Peanut butter in gallon tubs. Tomato sandwiches, tons of bean soup, cucumber sandwiches, bologna sandwiches with potato chips and butter. Eggs and bacon every morning. Freash butchered chicken for dinner. My grandmother had a lot of chicken. Ten cent day old bread was always on the table. Nothing was wasted. This is when food had flavor. This was the 50s and sixties. I wouldn't change a thing! Real honey, black walnuts, living off the land. ❤
