It is really interesting the way our diets have changed over the years. What was once considered the norm would be completely crazy now! Check this out and add yours!
OK Guys, I came across this recipe while thumbing through an old church recipe booklet. This recipe is from the 70's and I could not believe the ingredients.
CRISCO SALAD
1 Cup Crisco
2 eggs
1 cup pecans
1 cup sugar
1 can crushed pineapple, drained
1 package graham crackers
1 box strawberry jello
Cream Crisco and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs and beat well after each one. Add pineapple and nuts. Line bottom of long pyrex dish with crackers.
Add half of mixture, spreading over crackers. Add another layer of crackers and rest of mixture. Mix jello according to directions on package and let stand in refrigerator until almost congealed; spread on top of mixture. Store in refrigerator until ready to serve.
NOTE THAT THIS CONTAINS A WHOLE CUP OF CRISCO, AND ALSO THAT IT CONTAINS 2 EGGS BUT IT IS NOT BAKED OR COOKED IN ANY FASHION.
My grandmother cooked everything with bacon fat...she would boil potatoes and throw in huge hunks. I have to admit they were delicious.
Either way is good, but my favorite was with French fries, because I love crispy stuff. And if she threw on the table few pickles like green tomato or watermelon pickles... wow, how I miss those meals.
Im so jealous, I never grew up around that kind of good home cooked meals.
But you grew up with so much more than what I had.
I had plenty of good food, love and a roof over my head, but I can't say I realy had any money until I went to work and support myself thru school.
To have a milk candy was holiday... and when I got a gum I chew it for a week
My life style was not far from "Little house in the prarie". We worked day light and had very little time to play. In fact I never had toys.
I've gained the survival skill which today is forgotten by most people but is very useful to husband and I.
Pig skin... straight off the animal.
Well, semi cooked.
The custom is to cut the pig then burn on fire to remove most of the hair, then the skin is washed and scraped few times, and the skin is ready to eat.
I liked mine sprinkled with kosher salt.
The taste is awesome. It is only good to eat while the animal is freshly cut and can't eat a lot because is too heavy on the stomach.
I have pictures with the process... but I won't post them, hehehe
I have had "skins" but they were deep fried. I had not heard about doing this.
