Not sure what my husband would say about that, although I've always
liked the idea of having two men. >:)

Ahhh, good times, good times. When I was a lad the food budget was
miniscule. The Kraft glasses of sludge were a special treat but
always pimiento or olive. And Red Devil potted meat. These are not
my comfort foods.
But did we have juice glasses....

LOL. I have two containers of each -- Kraft cheese(I like the olive
best) and Underwood deviled ham - in my cupboard right now. And
they've only been there a week.

When we cleaned out the family home and Mother moved into a retirement
community, I put a dibs on most of those juice glasses. It's funny the
things one becomes attached to. ;-)

For Crash, it's the huge, yellow Pyrex bowl that his mother used when
making potato salad.

For me, it's cooking stuff, but my erstwhile sister commandeered most of
Mom's stuff to give to my niece. Thank goodness for thrift shops. I have
a set of aluminum measuring cups and a million pie pans. I very rarely
make pies, but every time we see a pan like one of Mom's we buy it, because
neither of us can remember if we've already got one like that.

Okay, everyone has to go look for Kraft cheese in a can. It isn't
dry at all, it's about the consistency of American cheese, or mild
cheddar.

Oh, my. . . canned cheese.

The world war II "D-Ration" was an olive-drab can of cheese! Very dry
cheese as I recall. . . about the size of a large tuna-fish can. It
was not a beloved favorite and there were always a lot of them left
over as it was the last field ration that was eaten.

The great esteem in which this particular ration was held is indicated
by its slang term, A-hole tightener.

I know you really wanted to know this!

I know it is available in the Middle East, in the US and I'm pretty
sure Australia, I've labelling on the cans which says something about
Australia. It may be available other places.

I always keep a can or two in my desk at work, with a package of crackers,
just in case I forget to bring lunch or don't have time to go out.

Wait a minute - you're telling me the steff is still around? Don't
tease me, man, how do I get some?

Every supermarket I go to carries it. In most of them it's shelved near the
canned tuna, sardines, etc. I think they also have a potted corned beef and
some kind of potted chicken as well. Remember, it's in a can wrapped in
white paper. The print, IIRC, is black and red.

Funny, my snack when I was a kid was Wonder bread with butter (actually
margarine in our house) with rainbow sprinkles on top. Not sure why mom
let me eat this either, but I never complained!

No carbs, but lots of fat and calories. These are only a good deal if
you're low-carbing. I dip them in guacamole.

What's the Lindora diet? I've never heard of it.

Just pack a few muumuus and enjoy yourself!
