My partner and I..both who come from very poor families, were in hysterics today talking about the stuff we had to eat as kids because our parents had no money. My favorite was some gooie stuff my mom used to throw on top of toast.. she called it "sh1t on a shingle". I have no idea what it was but we ate it. Any others?

MiL's Sh*t on a Shingle was corned beef hash on toast with white gravy (flour and bacon grease). The family is lining up for their second round of bypass surgery:

SOS is creamed beef on toast, also very popular in the service.
Coming from an Italian background of large families, my Grandmother cooked a lot of "cheapo" meals like pasta fagoli, minestrone, fritata, escarole and bean soup, pasta, pasta and more pasta. Some of these "cheapo" dishes are on menus in restaurants today and are healthy!!!!
