Good memories

I grew up poor eating beans and cornbread five days a week in West Texas. We would get the beans across the border in 50 lb. bags, cornmeal as well (with weevils in them :rolleyes:) I remember it was a real treat when we had hot dogs cut up and mixed with the beans. Of course at the time, we didn't know any better. That's a good memory as well.

That deviled ham and potted meat is pretty good......not healthy
but good

Hey Bruce, try the Spam in your spaghetti sauce, it's my favorite all time winner. Cut it up into 1/2" cubes, so good.

if you are a survivalist (not saying I am-or not) they say Spam is the best food to have stored in your pantry.......

I just happen to have a few cans around.....:biggrin

This reminds me that I been awhile since I been spam hunting. Gonna see if the seasons open and try to shoot some spams. Last week we did pretty good on the naugas. Had a truck full of them.

Hey G, I remember when we had the balony fried in a skillet with the ranch beans and a piece of cheese on top, it would make the perfect bowl when the balony heated up! Man that was good stuff right there!

We have a saying, "you full of baloney". Wonder who says, "you full of spam". I like the stuff myself. Like it fried down with a little margarine and coke. Glazes it a little for samiches. My Momma used to chicken fry it and we ate that with French fries and a pineapple salad. Yes the kind with mayo plopped on it.(lettuce,pineapple, grated cheese, a little plop of mayo and a cherry on top) Some people used pears instead of pineapple. Now that I look at it, that was a Hawaii themed meal.

Do y'all remember those hobo packs we made and cooked in tinfoil over in coals in the camp fire ? They still mighty good.....I cook them in the oven now. Attachment 152618

looking good.....where's the ketchup.......

I do the same thing with fish G. Fish, onions, butter, and red bell peppers - wrapped up tight and on the coals it goes. Pull it out, and wrap up in a warm flour tortilla. I have done that for many years - way before it became "fashionable" to have what they call fish tacos now a days.

I also remember when my grandmother would go to the butcher and get the skirt off the ribs that wasn't sold because it was considered the lowest quality beef and very cheap. Much later, when I was in college in my early twenties, a friend invited me over for a BBQ. He said he was making "fajitas". I had no idea what it was he was talking about until I saw it.

We use to cook similar to that hobo pack using fish and stuff like tracker is talking about. We would wrap it real tight and put it on top of the engine block of whatever vehicle we were in. ( truck,car,boat, etc.) If I remember right 1 1//2 pounds of fish, sliced onions, bell pepper,garlic, salt and pepper was cooked just right on top of a 350 Chevy block between Houma and Venice . Two and a half hours. Sometimes we would put a can of pork and beans ,corn or sweet peas to heat also.

We used to cook on the manifold of the engine of the grain trucks going to the port. Place it on the engine when we was leaving the field and take it off when we got to the port to line up to weigh and unload. Made a great supper right before bed time. :fingerdance

lots of good post and info thinking of coming that way soon
