Take a slice of that cosmic horror with a glop of some emulsified mass of oils not found in nature, also known as Margarine, and a slice of the semi-solid mass of oils not found in nature known as government american "cheese", shoved into a piece of cuban bread (greased with margarine of course) and press toasted until crisp, and you've got my weekday breakfast for most of my childhood.
You poor soul.
We occasionally had American cheese, but we had cheddar way more often. We had a lot of margarine growing up because it was cheap, but by my teenage years we could afford butter, which is a massive upgrade.
My experience was similar. Weirdly, it makes me sort of grateful for growing up in poverty, because there's so many things I got to try as an adult that were huge upgrades, like you describe with butter. The biggest example I can think of is actual parmesan cheese — it blew my mind when I first tried it.
Same. We weren't poor though, my parents were just super frugal, so we lived like we were poor while my dad made a middle class salary.
And I'm grateful for that because it helped me learn the value of delayed gratification and enjoying what I have.
Did you get some Mayo with that ever? Sounds like the only missing ingredient for me to want to order two.
There were two camps. The Margarine group and the Mayo group and they did not mingle. That shit was like bloods vs crips and was also very regional. As in north east folk used margarine vs southwest folk used mayo and each thought the other was gross.
Hehe good times. I hope your heart recovers!
