Golden Grahams-a purely non-political thread

<p>Since we’ve gotten away from Golden Grahams and onto tomatoes.</p>

<p>When I was a kid, we ate cheese toast topped with undiluted tomato soup. I never knew cheese toast was eaten plain until I married my husband, who was absolutely horrified. (I’m from the south, he’s from New England).</p>

<p>He was also grossed out because everyone in my family prepares vegetables using bacon or hamhocks, and we cook the bejeezus out of our green beans.</p>

<p>Thanks to everyone who posted on this thread. I’ve had a really trying month at work and was taking my first real break in weeks while reading this. I needed this good laugh!</p>

<p>doubleplay - I know the beans you mean - my Alabama mom uses salt pork in her pole beans and cooks them forever. Yum!</p>

<p>Gotta say, though - the tomato soup on cheese toast really grossed me out. :eek:</p>

<p>Green beans or shelly beans, cooked just right, yum. Never was a fan of tomato sandwiches, I need that tiny bit of bacon. Tomato soup and cheese toast - huh?? Tomato and cheese sandwiches were a common summer thing, guess it isn’t that far off.</p>

<p>Geez, I’ve been missing out on the gourmet discussion all week.
I bet the college kids pepper the Socratic discussions with food too.
Sent my Southern child away for a program last summer, and she had to explain grits over and over to those funny Midwestern boys…I bet she even made her accent a bit thicker than usual.
Re: peanut butter and bananas. It works on apples too. Cut the apple up and then use peanut butter to glue it back together. Can be used to illustrate fractions for third- (or first- or second-) graders.
Re: squishy bread balls. That’s catfish bait!</p>

<p>This reminds me of a Golden Grahams commercial. This link explains the commercial I’m talking about:

<p>I vaguely remember that commercial, or something like it.<br>
Add me to the list of people who like tomato sandwiches – a slice of nice solid beefsteak tomato on toast, with a TINY bit of mayo, salt and pepper… mmm.
When we were on vacation last week I stopped at a farmstand and on a whim bought a small pan of squash rolls. Looked like parker house, but moister and more golden. They were delicious (and fattening, I’m sure). They’d be nice to serve at Thanksgiving.</p>
