Fried onions or bacon bits, maybe radish sometimes, but only the really small diced kind.


(I should have said crunchy beef butts to keep the joke going.)

Oh ya. Bacon strips on my krout sausage…darn, that’s a good idea.

Didn't know we were poor until I got much older.

Well, either your parents were good and knew how not to involve their kids in that situation.


Or, another possibility is that you weren’t exactly the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree when you were a kid.

Thank you. However, I do have my challenges at the moment. The company I used to work for was sold and decided they didn’t need a GM so I’ve been looking since last Oct.

Also, my parents also made it out of a tough financial situation and are also doing well.

TMI?

Hope you find something you want, soon.

 

[SharpBits]

TMI?

Nah, many of us are in similar spots. Wife was laid off and now our income dropped by over 50%. She found a job, but it pays 1/4 of what she used to make.

Me either, SharpBits
Didn’t figure it out until I was much older. There were days my dad didn’t even eat because of his 4 kids that needed to. What sacrifice he made for us. My dear Mother too.

I owe them. My family are my best friends.

I was naive. I never went lacking, however.

I have huge respect and love for them.
Usually, even if people are good, you know how it usually goes—conversations, thoughts, overall mood.
They’re truly amazing.

Thank you. Appreciated.

I still have the leatherwork to lean on a bit and my wife still works so even though funds are tight, we will make it.

I think.

Anywho, let’s not turn this thread into a sob story! Haha.

One of my favorite foods is a wrap that my wife makes with pulled pork, pizza cheeze, bacon, mayo (yes, mayo), honey mustard and diced tomatoes.

I need to go eat lunch…

 

[SharpBits]

Mmm...pulled pork.

 

[tinfoil hat timmy]

Mine is the second one

BBQ sauce or death

On my hot dogs.

Death is particularly tasty

I prefer just barbecue sauce, or something like Tabasco.

We grew up poor, but we ate pretty good. Mostly because my mom used to make hundreds and hundreds of egg rolls every day to sell to local Chinese restaurants to pay her way through college.

Now she just makes them at Thanksgiving since our church family (who have hosted holidays since we landed in the US) love them.

 

[ferider]

I have learned that they're actually really are people that put ketchup on hot dogs. It's crazy.

We don't need toxic people like that in our lives.

Dijon .... Sacré Bleu !

 

[Sharp & Fiery]

Mmm. Yup.


(Ran out of bacon)

The other thing that puzzles me is ketchup on a hamburger. But I guess some people put ketchup on their steaks.

If I'm going to put a condiment on a burger, it's usually a spicy chili garlic crisp mayo, with a touch of maple. But it's probably because I'm not a huge fan of ketchup.

 

[Murphjd25]

Mmm. Yup.

Get that dagger away from the Mayo!!!!

 

[Nathan the Machinist]

Hear me out: mustard, just a little dash of ketchup, and pickled or grilled chiles. I mean, if an entire city (Chicago) can get away with sweet pickle relish, tomato slices, an entire pickle spear, and celery salt on their hot dogs then a little smear of ketchup can't be all that bad.

Chicago!

Come for the food! Stay because you got murdered!

Chicago!

Shush! It's another Utopia!
