40 posts and NOBODY has mentioned vienna sausages on saltine crackers? With a dribble of hot sauce?
What is WRONG with you people?

Tripe, potted meat, sardines and head cheese can all be substituted for Vi-EE-na sossage. Tabasco fixes all that.
My dad makes potted meat gravy and eats it over toast. I’m the only one that will eat it with him.
I have a vague suspicion that quite a lot of what we eat regularly may be considered ‘white trash’ fare.
Cornbread and pot likker (the juice from a pot of greens)
Rice and gravy (made with whatever leftover meats are in the fridge and bacon grease)
Cracker salad (crumbled saltines, mayo, and chopped fresh tomato)
Vienna sausage right out of the can
Fried bologna
Smothered Turkey necks
And a lot more things, I’m sure.
The line gets blurred for me whether its redneck/white trash/ethnic or just Southern food …
like, RC Cola with peanuts dumped into the bottle smacks of pure redneck food to me.
Food can’t tell who eats it. If it’s good to eat and there’s no snobbery involved, what difference would it make?
If it matters, RC and peanuts works as well (for me at least) with Coke, Pepsi, Double Cola, or even Dr Pepper. I don’t much care for the lemon-lime drinks with peanuts: Upper 10, Sprite, Seven Up, Fresca, and the like.
Another way of dressing up the basic question is to have it be pets. What category of human would you guess an Airedale would belong to?
Interesting question! 
Pets are hard because sometimes they pick YOU. Or are given to you/foisted upon you by others. For instance, a friend of mine has an Airedale and she is very down to earth and philosophical and kind. Whether any other Airedale owners fit that mold … dunno. Why? do YOU have an Airedale Zeldar? 
When I was a kid it was a pack of salted peanuts in a bottle of Coca-Cola. It had to be the old glass bottles.
I first saw this on an episode of Ironside where the villian (played by Russell Johnson, the Professor on Gilligan’s Island) gave himself away by doing it. ![]()
Fanta Cream Soda and a Moon Pie
Breakfast of champions
Not only don’t have one, can’t remember knowing anybody who had one. That’s why I settled on Airedale. Most other breeds are too obviously ethnic neutral in my mind. I was a cat person until our latest one died a year or so ago. Last dog I had was a Spitz when I was little.
Do you own a critter? Does one own you? ![]()
Dave Gardner used to refer to Arra-O-C Cocola and Moon Pie quite often in his records. Your basic Southern Cat from the 50’s and 60’s.
Ten points if you can complete the old jingle “RC Cola and a Moon Pie and a _____”
Mayo?! Cottage cheese, surely.
A bottle of Yoo-Hoo and a Moon Pie: my childhood summers in West Virginia!
Just what I always wanted–ten points! ![]()
Chocolate gravy. Made like red-eye gravy but with some cocoa powder added to it.
Ambrosia Salad.
Currently owned by a housetiger >^…^< but have had all manner of critters at one time or another, including, yes, a Spitz as a child (are you my long lost twin?)
So sorry your cat died
Dont your arms ache for another one?
Show some class! It’s mayo, shredded cheese and a lettuce leaf for pear salad. Cottage cheese/cream cheese and a lettuce leaf is for peach salad. ![]()
How about the Candlestick Salad? Pineapple ring, banana, a dribble of mayo, topped with a maraschino cherry! 
Dammit! My memory is closing down. I went looking for a YouTube version as well as the lyrics and I guess it’s been so long ago that what I had remembered as “and a Maple on the hill” appears to be I’m playin’ Maple on the hill and those lyrics don’t match what I’m remembering. No version on YouTube matches my memory either.
So the Ten Points Deal is off. Sorry, dougie_monty!
