You cleaned your plate and liked it! Breakfast Had homemade biscuits gravy and fried streak of lean cured at home and eggs layer by our chickens. Lunch was usually leftover biscuits with homemade butter and homemade muscadine jelly supper usually had crackling corn bread and big pot of pinto beans, fried onions and taters cooked in hog lard from when we killed hog and cooked cracklings out ! We raised hogs, cows, and chickens . Our eggs came from the hens and what meat we had came from what we raised other than a few rabbits and quail. We raised big gard n every year and canned for winter! Very little but as bought in town. Thinking back it was still a good life! You appreciated what you had!

actually we did have bottled water - came in a 5 gal glass jug and was a bitch to hoist onto the dispenser --

50's were pretty good food wise after no food in the thirties and rationed food in the 40's -
worst thing in '50 was catching gonetokorea --
