o, i developed a taste for liver and onions!lesterb wrote:I hadn't thought of that for years, but I think my mother did that too.temporal1 wrote:... my mother would make a sandwich spread of bulk bologna put through her meat grinder, then mixed with mayo, diced onion, maybe a bit of pickle? celery? .. how was that, now? she called these "picnic sandwiches."
they took on a different taste, not bologna, not ham, but, very very tasty!
today's deli or commercial "ham salad" is not it!
Wow, I could eat some of those sandwiches again.Sorry, can't agree on this. My wife and I both like liver and onions. I'll order it in a restaurant at times, to my children's consternation. They can't imagine spending good money for liver and onions.temporal1 wrote:... as a child, i was not fond of liver and onions. i recall having to sit with a plate of this in front of me long after everyone else left the table .. eventually, i was allowed to go to bed. (without the liver and/or onions.)
We don't have it much, but once the girls are gone, I guarantee we'll have it lots....
early in marriage, i found a French recipe that called for sauteing bunches of fresh parsley in butter, then sauteing the liver in this mixture. (easy, with no onions.) heavenly.
i have not made that in decades.
if mike offers deli sandwich mixes or sandwiches, he might sell a lot of those old-fashioned
"picnic sandwiches." maybe-probably a Depression recipe. we never had any left over!
now i must buy some bologna this week!
SPAM. my mother would occasionally fix it. i was not a fan. as a child, did not care for salty foods. even her otherwise delicious toasted cheese sandwiches were awful salty to me. as an adult, i WISH i still had that sensitivity.
