 Spam -- the eating kind

Both of my parents grew up during the depression and during the shortages of WW II.

They were used to eating every part of the animal considered edible.

Even if she had read the label, I doubt that Mom would have hesitated one second over the whole snout thing.

Mine made carcass soup until the day she died a few years ago.

 Spam -- the eating kind

I come from a split household. My father was raised on a farm, what depression, what food shortage during the war? My mother grew up in the city, ate what was available, nothing more.

Spam was a favourite in my Mom's family, I still love a grilled cheese sandwich made with real old cheddar cheese and then fried Spam stuck in there too!! Now that's good eating! Smile

I doubt my doctor would agree though. So Sad

Best of luck.

You might need to change docs. Guess you could put lettuce and tomato on it.

Murf, it is my understanding The Depression was not as severe in Canada as it was in the USA. Understand that some US companies or organizations at least moved to Canada temporary due to how much better Canada's economy was.

Funny, I was just thinking about buying a place in Gananoque. Downtown has fallen to the same fate as so many downtowns but the place has sooo much charm. Many, many, many brews have been consumed by self in that town, in fact I had numerous discussions with a mounted fish at the Musky lounge.

Our daughter took a group of grade school kids to the Spam museum in Austin Minn., she said it's worth seeing. They have a couple Spam mobiles that are motorhomes that look like a giant Spam can that roam the country doing parades and such giving away Spam. I haven't seen the Oscar Meyer "Weinermobile" lately, someone said thay have a big tandem axle diesel winermobile now. If we hadn't had an ice storm overnight I'd go to the store for a can of spam, you guys are making me hungry.

 Spam -- the eating kind

Not to get off the subject (That got off the subject that never was) but, Cutter, as a young lad I would go to Canada with my Grandparents every summer. We'd usually go around the 4th of July. We'd stay at various places on the Rideau Lakes. I remember going to Gananoque a few times but, not being of drinking age, nothing stands out in my memory. The town I remember most however is Westport. It had a mom and pop soda fountain type of place and we'd have ice cream there. The name of the store was Bennet's. Lots of fishing, lots of good memories. One other thing; when we were about to come home we would stop at a cheese factory right near the Rideaus. It was just a wooden building with a loading dock located on a dirt raod. I can still smell the aroma of the cheese and it tasted wonderful. I've tried to do web searches for cheese factories in that area but nothing familiar jumps out at me. I suppose it's long gone. Sorry to jump from spam to cheese and memories of Canada beginning 50 years ago but, hey, it's your fault Smile. Steve

It's not off topic, you will notice the spam and cheese in picture above!

I too have many fond memories of the island area, fished there from the time I was ten. Was rowing my way around until I was about twelve at which time I acquired an old Merc (very old) to pin on the transom.
