I grew up in Western New York State and Western Pennsylvania as a little
kid and Western NY in the later years. The school that my Mom was
concerned about the teachers' seeing only mustard on the sandwiches was
Killbuck Public School in the little village of Killbuck, NY, outside of
Salamanca, NY, where I started school halfway into the school-year as we
moved from PA to NY, and PA at the time didn't have kindergarten in their
schools but NY State did.
I never included saltines though. That almost sounds like a Depression era
invention ~ to the mock apple pie made with the crackers. The only unusual thing
I do with saltines is to crumble a sleeve into my tomato
soup and stir until all the crumbs are saturated and then chow down. It's
also good to melt a slice or two of American cheese into the tomato soup
first. Unfortunately Campbells must have changed their tomato soup
recipe as it doesn't taste like it used to taste anymore. We have to squirt
some ketchup into it to help it along now.
Jeez, how did this turn into a food confessional post?
Cheers,
