How about "Eggs and Soldiers?" Soft-boiled eggs with buttered toast strips and/or buttered bread strips for dipping in the runny yolk. My mother has always called them "Dippy Inny."
Ah yes......a childhood favorite of mine. We called the toast...."lady fingers".
Cambric Tea: When we were kids, Grammy would let us have Cambric Tea in the winter. It is hot water, sugar and milk with perhaps a teaspoon of tea, served from a tea pot in tea cups. We felt so special and grown up.
Johnny Marzetti: We lived for awhile in Cincinnati when I was growing up....Johnny Marzetti is a casserole dish with scrambled hamburg, onions, mushrooms, tomato sauce and macaroni....and lots of cheese. It is an Ohio version of American chop suey or goulash. It is like that combined with lasagna.

Yum Yum: was another favorite Ohio casserole. These were often served up at pot luck suppers and every family had a different variation. http://www.penzeys.com/heth/r2.html Similar to a casserole called Honky Tonk from Maine.
Coney Islands: In Cincy....a Coney Island is a hot dog in a roll with Cincinnati style chili and onions, perhaps spicy brown mustard too .
Porcupines: not the spiny animal...but meat balls made with raw rice. As they cook in tomato sauce...the rice swells and studs the meatballs giving (with some imagination) the appearance of quills....hence : porcupines.
Welsh Rarebit (Rabbit) - basically cheese sauce on toast. The recipes for the cheese sauce vary from simple nacho cheese sauce to a beer cheese sauce. A lot of folks wonder why it's called "Welsh Rabbit" on some menus - it's from the pronunciation of "rarebit" as "rabbit."
I love the stuff, as well as "Beans on toast" and "Egg on toast."
We ate this a lot growing up....served on saltines.....
"Blushing Bunny" was a Welsh Rarebit made with a can of Cream of Tomato Soup and melted cheese.
If I remember correctly, Dad used to season both versions with Worcestershire Sauce and Coleman's Dry Mustard.

I grew up in Ohio and our school served Johnny Marzetti, Coney Islands and Pocupines for lunch. And Buckeyes for dessert.
My mom loved to make this for dinner frequently. It's dried cured beef strips in a white gravy served over toast cut on the diagonal. The beef strips that comes in a glass jar is what I remembered.
I don't remember it fondly but I do pay homage to that fish by making a tenderloin tips in bearnaise sauce in puff pastry cups.
