That’s what they are called. And if you’re black, you knew that these were meant to be shared with your siblings, cousins and friends. No one got to eat a

whole one...by themselves. Ever! #YouMustBeCrazy

Ever lick a block of salt? It’s not the best thing to do in the world…or so we’ve been told. But Spam is for those times when your momz or

pops didn’t have enough cash to cop that Jimmy Dean or Farmer John’s Thick Cut bacon. Pop that can open, scoop all the salty slimy goo off the top, cut

it in thick chunks, and throw it in the skillet and PRESTO! Thick cut bacon… sorta.

You’re walking through the grocery store with your mom. There is no cereal in the cabinet and it’s Saturday. You got your lips ready for that box of Cocoa Puffs.

Your mouth is watering. You can taste ‘em with that ice cold milk all over them. And then your mom picks up…Coco Roos! Or some other off brand cereal. Didn’t

you hate that? #TheStruggleWasReal

Okay okay okay. We know what you’re thinking. “Hell naw I ain’t never had no little weenies!” Well stop it. Because we can say safely that at least 75% of

you who have attended a university and have lived on campus knows this struggle. Plus, we all know they go great with those saltine crackers that you usually put in

your soup. #Yummy #PoorMansSteak

This was a delicacy in the black household. Throw a piece of Oscar Mayer's bologna (either that or the one with the red ribbon around the edge that assisted in

helping you lose half a piece of meat by the time it came off) right on in that iron skillet and fry it on up. You have no idea what

you are missing if you missed out on this. Don’t forget that bubble in the middle. Did you grub on yours with hot sauce, mayo, or mustard?

Every black household had that big round metal blue can that had the the shortbread cookies in it. We can’t be the only one to remember those cookies with the

big sugar crystals on top of them…at least that’s what they look like in the pictures on the can. Then, once the cookies were gone, Big Mama used the can

for a sewing kit or whatever else she needed it for. Those cans had a long shelf life. LOL. Remember?

When you lived like we lived, your folks tried to save the few coins that they had left to buy those Kmart penny loafers they saw for you to wear

to church...or school…or both. So c’mon son! They didn’t buy peanut butter and jelly separately. They bought the Goobers which had both the jelly and the peanut butter…in the same

jar! #GoodEats

AND WITHOUT FURTHER ADIEU; THE #1 FOOD THAT YOU GREW UP ON IN A BLACK HOUSEHOLD AS A KID IS…
