Not strange by any meals, but seems like everyone had untoasted sliced sandwich bread and a tub of Country Crock on the table with several different meals (namely spaghetti), and I don't think I've seen anyone do that since childhood.
I have never even had the urge as an adult to eat that.
Why was it so common?!

My mom has told us about a dish that her mother made when they were growing up- ‘Red Rice’, which I believe is rice, tomato sauce and cut up hotdogs. She and Dad will be celebrating 50 years in a few weeks, and she’s only made it for him once…he still talks about how awful it was Sounds pretty terrible to me, too
I vaguely recall my grandmother serving the kids tomato-y rice at her daycare, but I've never actually learned if it was tomato sauce, tomato paste, or ketchup.

Anyone else as a kid used to throw some spaghetti on it and make a spaghetti sandwich as a kid, also used it to make rice and gravy sandwiches, meatball stew sandwiches, etc.

Absolutely! It was a great combo with the cold butter and hot spaghetti.

A technique perfected with those square, yeasty cafeteria rolls. Gotdamn that was good bread (in my mind...leave it there, please.)

We still do that every thanksgiving as a salute to our childhood (pineapple, not pear.)
Also, wiener “stew” over rice. Sliced hot dogs smothered in red gravy.
Homemade beignets. A can of cheap biscuits quartered and deep fried then covered with cinnamon or powdered sugar.
Root beer made from extract. Mmm mmm.

The weirdest one I can think of is when she would take buttered toast, tear it into bite-sized pieces, and pour chocolate milk on it. That was my breakfast on Saturday mornings while I was watching cartoons.

Forgot about these. Perfection...at the time.

Breakfast was a toasted white bread, bacon and mustard sandwich. Not sure what the mustard obsession was with Mom, but those sandwiches were delicious.

quote:Many restaurants (from fancy places down to places like Sizzler and Steak and Ale) served hot bread and butter with their meals. Some places still do, but it was more ubiquitous back then. Slices of toast with butter or spread were the at-home version once supermarkets spread and local bakeries disappeared.

Yes, but this was totally untoasted room temperature slices of bread with artificial butter

Pairs well with beefaroni.

At my wife's house, mashed potatoes and sour kraut. It sounded nasty to me at first, but I like it now, especially with warmed Bavarian style sour kraut.

Egg burger sandwich
Browned ground beef, mix in scrambled egg and Tony’s. Served on wheat bread (white bread got too soggy) +/- cheese. This became my go after coming home from the bars in college.

My mom would make "Weenies in tomato gravy" when i was a kid. I LOVED it. It was essentially a small roux with a can of tomato sauce, and then some sliced hot dogs served over rice. As simple as it is, i could NEVER replicate it. Though, it's been many years since i've tried.

Last night my four year wanted to cook "pasta" all by himself.
He took a bowl, filled it with cheerios.
Had me cut up hot dogs and put on top of cheerios.
He then tore up sliced american cheese put on top.
That was his pasta and he loved it. Whatever works.

I remember eating this, but I thought it was cottage cheese and not mayo?
