    Doesn't everyone?  Salt and pepper are spices.  Butter is a condiment used for seasoning.

    Some reason I wasn’t thinking of just salt and pepper lol. I thought you meant “spices“ spices…spicey spices.

    I only like creamed corn made from fresh corn, just cut from the cob and cob thoroughly scraped.  Love it.  I've never experienced it from the can.....scared to.  ;)

    Mush is what people ate during the Great Depression, according to my in-laws.  That is corn meal boiled to a mush.  FIL said it tasted good at the end of the day and they was thankful to have it.  He was a child during those years.  My mother has never been willing to tell us anything about that time during her very young life.

    Must be too difficult for her to talk about. I wonder if that mush stuff is the same as they feed the punished people on Big brother. Sound the same.

    Cool song. 

    Thinking to a depressing time, I'll say Lean Cuisine chicken fettuccini Alfredo. Yuck.

    I don't think I've had it. I'm picky - less now than I used to be, but still kinda picky.

    That does sound gross. Any frozen dinner is depressing to me.

    Yeah, unless you have it for lunch and it's actually good. That's not too depressing.

    Potatoes in any form, onion sandwiches, cornbread in milk, corn mush with milk for breakfast, and fried corn mush for supper. Fried potato peel sandwiches, fried bologna, hotdogs, cabbage soup, bean soup, chicken feet in broth, etc. I have never been through depression but my mom and dad did. And they told us, kids, that during the Great Depression, in order to survive, you had to be very creative and resourceful. A lot of what they ate wasn't always healthy or tasty but in order to survive, you did what was necessary. Looking at the condition the United States is in right now, the inevitable question I need to ask is: Could America survive another Great Depression. Food for thought. Pun intended. :)

    I think they could survive as long as they still have Uber eats.
