Have you ever heard the word “vittles” used to refer to food, or have you ever used it yourself?

Inspired by this question that was posted by another member:

  My grandmother used it all the time, and I heard it in the old movies that came out when she was young. My grandmother was born in the 1920s in a tiny town of 900 people in Oklahoma and due to migrant farming, grew up in various places all over the country.

I‘m not sure if she only used the word in jest, or if she used it as her legitimate and appropriate way to talk about food (she passed away in 1989).  I do remember that she used a lot of words that I understood to be from her country upbringing or Southern upbringing, for instance, she never once used the word “faucet”, she always, always, always said “hydrant”.  Lol, I remember being five years old and when we went to her house, she would offer us a drink of water, and she’d ask, “Would you like it cold from the ice box or is from the kitchen hydrant good enough?”  There’s another one: ice box. She never said refrigerator or fridge, always ice box. The garden hose was connected to the outside hydrant, you had two hydrants in the bathroom (powder room), one at the sink and one at the bathtub. 

  Wow, what great memories just came flooding back. (Sigh.)
