It doesn’t matter if you grew up poor or if your family was very thrifty, chances are we’ve all had a cheap meal in our childhood we still think of fondly. While that inexpensive meal might strike others as odd, it can be somewhat comforting for us.
In fact, it might be something you still enjoy to this day!
My father, who grew up in the 50s, used to love eating po’boy sandwiches with lunchmeat. Even today, it’s something he still enjoys eating. As for me, I used to love Vienna sausages with mustard and crackers and King Vitamin cereal (an off-brand Captin Crunch only folks on food stamps bought).
