Message: [QUOTE="SVCBeercats, post: 2976013, member: 7874"] My snacks varied depending on availability. When our garden was producing I could not get enough radishes to snack on. When my Mother was not observant it was a healthy, well probably an unhealthy hunk of pepperoni. Liquid creamsicle! A little orange flavored Fix-a-Drink and a large glass of cold milk - liquid creamsicle. However, none of these are disgusting. You want disgusting? My Grandfather would occasionally take me to the Polish Falcons Club and the Slovak Club. On their bars were several jars of snacks such as pickled pig snouts, ears, and feet. The coal miners cherished then. They had great sport trying to get me to eat a bite. Never did! I was happy to provide the laughs but no further. Even though many years later at a Chinese New Years celebration of my own volition I placed a bite of sea cucumber into my mouth. Yes, I was sober. At that moment the pickled pig snout seemed like a delicacy. Ever see a picture of a sea cucumber? You have to believe the first person to eat a sea cucumber at that moment was hungriest person on Earth. How anyone could look at it and think FOOD is beyond me. This was a starvation act. [/QUOTE]
