Foods that will fade away with the Baby Boomer generation

[gillep]

My dog gets monthly heart worm/flea pills, but I fold them up in some American cheese.

We never had American cheese in the house until my dog needed to be put on an anti-seizure medicine, the pills are tiny and he has to take them twice a day, I couldn't figure out how to get him to actually take them and ensure they went down until I folded them up in a small amount of American cheese!!! He gets so excited when I ask him if he wants his cheese, it is perfect!

I think most food is cyclical, although I wouldn't be upset if I never had to question whether an otherwise delicious looking chicken salad, or sandwich was made with mayonnaise or gross miracle whip, you only make the mistake of not asking once!!!

Is it even food?

I strongly believe that along with disclosing attitudes on finances, religion and child rearing-whether a person is a mayo or miracle whip user should be required for those who attend premarital counseling. it seems there is very little middle ground.

Is it even food?

Only in the academic sense. It's edible. It has a smidgeon of spices in it.

I grew up thinking braunschweiger was only for rich people. The plebeians were restricted to liverwurst.

That sounds like something my mom would tell me to get me to eat it. Good thing it wasn't available where I grew up or the dog would get it in addition to all the liver he ate.

Kale really is a superfood.

Kale is a popular vegetable, a member of the cabbage family (Brassica oleracea).

It is related to cruciferous vegetables like cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, collard greens and brussels sprouts.

There are many different types of kale. The leaves can be green or purple in color, and have either a smooth or curly shape.

The most common type of kale is called curly kale or Scots kale, which has green and curly leaves and a hard, fibrous stem.

A single cup of raw kale (about 67 grams or 2.4 ounces) contains :

• Vitamin A: 206% of the RDA (from beta-carotene).
• Vitamin K: 684% of the RDA.
• Vitamin C: 134% of the RDA.
• Vitamin B6: 9% of the RDA.
• Manganese: 26% of the RDA.
• Calcium: 9% of the RDA.
• Copper: 10% of the RDA.
• Potassium: 9% of the RDA.
• Magnesium: 6% of the RDA.
• Then it contains 3% or more of the RDA for Vitamin B1 (Thiamin), Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin), Vitamin B3 (Niacin), Iron and Phosphorus.

This is coming with a total of 33 calories, 6 grams of carbs (2 of which are fiber) and 3 grams of protein.

Kale contains very little fat, but a large portion of the fat in it is the omega-3 fatty acid called alpha linolenic acid.

Given the incredibly low calorie content, kale is among the most nutrient dense foods in existence. Eating more kale is a great way to dramatically increase the total nutrient content of your diet.

I fed my dog Kale once. I told him all the nutrition benefits too.

Fancy Feast was probably the first "gourmet" cat food. You probably were served a low end brand like Puss 'n Boots. Not even meat, but "meat flavor." It was still better than Underwood Deviled Ham or Libby's Potted Meat Food Product.

I kind of feel like having stuck with a very general product like this would have covered all the bases:

We were so poor we never heard of braunschweiger.

That's pretty poor since braunschweiger is about the cheapest meat you can buy.

We used empty, used bread bags to take our lunch to school. So there.
The same bags were also used to keep our feet semi dry inside our "winter boots".

If you had Treet, you had money. The people 2 doors down filed for bankruptcy in the late 1950's. They really had no money into the 1960's.. Their three kids used to bring sugar sandwiches in their school lunch.

Our friends from Holland used to put sugar coloured sprinkles on buttered bread. Sometimes chocolate sprinkles. We were awestruck.

Was it the "traditional baked ham taste" that turned you vegan?
