I ate C-rations from WWII when I was a kid. My favorite was the thick wafer of cocoa which I ate whole, rather than try to put it in hot water. Spaghetti with meat sauce was a treat also.

My Aunt Dot used to cook up baloney fried in ketchup, a holdover from the Great Depression. My other Depression holdover favorite was the Hillbilly Special: Baloney and tomato on white bread with mayonnaise, and sweet ice tea.
