I love the Underwood deviled ham spread on a piece of plain white bread. No frills - spread and eat. Which is why I rarely have any in the house - it’s just way too easy to eat way too much of it.
Apparently over a century ago Underwood also made Deviled Tongue. I’m sorry I missed out on that. Tongue is delicious. I can’t tell from the old ads if it’s pork tongue, beef tongue, or what, though.
I wonder what other wondrous canned meat products they produced at one time but discontinued. . .
Wiki seems to state they used to do Lobster, Turkey, Mackerel in addition to tongue. Yum!
Also clams, but they seemed to explode their cans at times.
I vaguely recall that my parents gave us Underwood deviled ham in our school lunches at some point in the 1970s.
Maple ham? How come we don’t get that down here? Sounds delish!
My go-to for snacking during a game/lunch while working is to spread deviled ham on rounds of sourdough, top with cheese and a sliced tomato and then broil until nice and bubbly. Not unlike Qadgop’s version, but a bit more…plebian. Especially since I’d likely used Kraft Singles as opposed to real cheese.
FWIW, Underwood still makes these:
…Varieties of Underwood meat spreads include deviled ham, white meat chicken, roast beef, corned beef and liverwurst…
[from Underwood web site, which has recipes also-I had to stop reading those or else I was going to have to put on my jeans and drive to find some] 6 varieties, including the two ham ones, deviled and maple.
Locally it looks like my WalMart and big regional grocery store carries 3 of the varieties. An average price was $2.69/4.25oz. I’m thinking later today a quick grocery trip may happen for good sourdough bread, all the Underwood varieties I can find and a big bag of salted roasted in the shell peanuts. I’ll leave the liverwurst on the shelf for the rest of you.
Dibs! 
I used to fairly regularly eat a bowl of instant mashed potatoes mixed with corn and (from a jar, natch) gravy… this was years before KFC came out with their much-maligned bowls-- I’m an innovator!
I guess if your choice is between that and prison food…
I used to make egg-fried rice by whisking in ramen-noodle-flavoring-packet powder into the eggs before frying them with the rice. It got rave reviews from people who couldn’t figure out what the mystery ingredient was.
You know, some of the food is not bad. The same food is served to the correctional officer staff, so they have to make it palatable enough to retain employees.
I LOVE corn on top of mashed potatoes. I don’t even need gravy, although that’s good too.
Butter! Seasoned salt, and pepper - broccoli bits, asparagus, Italian green beans, or green peas are good, too. Frozen veg is good, fresh is best, but you need butter. This is good when there is only one small piece of chicken or meat left over, the mashed potatoes and vegetables bulk it out and make it a meal.
When I was a kid, I used to mix all my food together before eating it (much to the ire of my ill-tempered father). My favorite was mashed potatoes with mixed veggies and gravy, If there was meat on the plate, that got cut into bite-sized pieces and mixed in with the rest.
Why can’t it be all - sort of tongue sausage.
my uncle when hed get in the van would drink whatever coffee was in the cupholder it might be a fresh cup or it might be 3 days old he didnt care …
i like liverwurst and braunschweiger put liver in front of me? lets hope i make it to the sink before i do my imitation of vesuvius
another of my confessions is give me a 5 pound tub of cookie dough with a spoon and i might make 2 pounds of cookies … and something that irsk a lot of people , i have cold soda or anything drinkable for the most part …

I eat marshmallow fluff with a spoon.
I eat Nutella with a spoon.
In the 1980s Sandra Boynton wrote a book called **Chocolate: The Consuming Passion". She gives a recipe for chocolate chip cookies and mentions sampling the dough. The next lines: “Put remaining dough on cookie sheet. Bake cookie for 10 to 12 minutes.”
The other day I ate a bowl of hot Cheetos mixed with sour cream.
