We never fried baloney until it was looking kind of weird. I never understood why we didn’t fry it to begin with. Does any body remember the Eckrich variety pack: pickleloaf, hamloaf, a gristly ham and there was a fourth meat but I can’t recall what it was? I know dad would always eat what the rest of us wouldn’t eat.
My Mom made pizza with canned biscuit dough, Velveeta and hamburger. I thought I didn't like pizza until I had the real thing.
Yup, I remember that variety pack. Was it "old fashioned" loaf?
Could be..it all sucked imo.
Yeah that was bad. I used to live in South Bend where that was brewed. They still have Drewry's signs in a lot of the bars. I think somebody tried to revive that brand a few years ago. Don't know if they stayed in business or not.
I remember when Indiana changed the rules and allowed beer to be sold in sizes different than 12OZ. That's what made Little Kings available. Tall boys, too. Would have been in 75 or thereabouts.
I hated velveeta but that was the only cheese we had when I was little. I just thought I didn't like cheese at all.
I'm thinking they were also a malt liquor with a higher alcohol content. That made up for the smaller size.
Genessee 16 ounces, for the price of 12 ounces. But hours later you get the Genny jumpers, which clear a room. Worse if you had paired them with sliders.
Everything was worse with sliders. You had to drive to Columbus or Greenwood to get them, though. White Castle didn't come to Bton until years later.
I think so. And I think you could also get it in those little pony kegs right?
I don't recall that, but fvck me, we're going back 45 years.
I have better luck with 45 years ago than with remembering where my car keys are. Especially these days when I hardly drive anywhere.
I remember that pack, too, so I had to look it up: (left to right) Honey Loaf, Pickle Loaf, Bologna and Old Fashion Loaf. Honey Loaf was the "gristly ham" @Bill4411 identified because Eckrich couldn't call it Gristle Loaf
