I won't eat cake without a glass of milk but thanks to you guys I'm just going

It’s really good. Most cake is too dry to eat without at least having milk to drink with it, and if you get ice cream on

No thank you, Delmar. One third of a gopher would only arouse my appetite without bedding it down.

My grandma liked cow tongue sandwiches because that's what they could get for cheap. Ate them till the end of her days

I ate tongue in Chile. It's really not bad tasting at all. The only downside

EM_Puma

Funny I ate it in Brasil served by an extremely impoverished Chileno family

You can buy tongue at Sam's Club. We eat it like once a month. Best tacos

Beef tongue is delicious. I had it as a kid as well. I love tacos de lengua today.

Or sometimes the dreaded half-powdered-milk/half-real-milk. Just ruining the little normal milk we had. 😕

mvtoro

Morning Moo is the best powdered milk I have had. When cold, not bad.

Parker Schnabel

Apr 2, 10:36am

Mixed half & half w/ 2% is decent. Much better than old powdered Carnation instant. Yuck.

If mom made breakfast (which was rare) we knew it was because the milk ran out

We have an old family recipe passed down called Slumgullion - probably not a depression-era recipe

Liverwurst is awesome and I would eat a liverwurst, mustard, and cream cheese sandwich every day for lunch if it didn’t

Apr 2, 11:43am

I like liverwurst as well. So does my oldest son. But nobody else in the family does.
