Anybody remember codfish gravy? My mom made it from the salted cod you used to find in the little wooden box with the slide top - soak it in water to pull out the salt and re-hydrate it, heat it up in a milk based gravy and served over mashed taters. Or Campbell's beans in tomato sauce with cubed Velveeta melted into it and server over toast. Mom called it "Welsh Rarebit". Or a whole block of Spam coated with a paste of mustard and brown sugar with whole cloves stuck it the top and baked. My Grandpa used to eat these giant soda crackers, like an oyster cracker but about as big around as a softball, in a bowl with butter, pepper and warm milk.
