Kombucha and djungelvral

My grandmother died back in 2016 and at her funeral I told a story about her pbj sandwiches when she used to babysit us
She used to make us a pbj sandwich with rye bread, all natural mashed peanuts with orange marmalade
After the funeral all the old folk that were there came to me and said they said it sounded good and they were gonna make it.
She was a big supporter of "it's okay to eat if you cut off the moldy/bad areas". She never threw anything out and always wondered why she gets sick/food poisoning when we were there.

I know she intended good but man, that was some shit I couldn't ever think of. She died of brain cancer and I'll never forget her last words to me before she lost her ability of speech and motor functions
>why are we paying for chemotherapy and these tumor removal operations if I'm going to die anyway?
>If I'm gonna die at least don't waste money on it, shit.
A based grandmother if I've ever seen one. Always liked her old cookie recipes. All handwritten. Still have em too

>>13466722
What were her favorite snacks/drinks?

>>13466733
Vodka from the freezer. She never snacked. She also drank in the car but that's another issue

I've had 2 friends who refused treatment just for that reason. Of course they were americans. Surprisingly, there's a lot who do just that in this shit hole.

Its technically a dish and not a snack/drink, but mother fucking elderberry soup is the best.

When in season, boil elderberries (stems and all) in a bit of water, add apples if you feel like it. After a while strain the pulp and stems, boil again with a bit of sugar and maybe some sodium benzoate if to intend to store more than 6 months. Bottle that shit up, and you've got a sort of strong preserved elderberry juice.
You can just add water and drink it cold, OR, you can wait until a cold winter day, put a liter or two in a pot, maybe add some water to stretch it, some cut up apples if you want some texture, and a bit of lemon and cinnamon for festive taste if its december. Heat and thicken with some corn starch (or flour, but cornstarch works better) until you've got a rich dark purple soup.
Serve topped with crushed up rusk, or some stale bread thats been cubed and fried in a bit of butter, or some rolled oats thats been roasted on a dry frying pan. Also sour cream if you want.

Its like a ~150 years old poor person's dish from Denmark. Hasn't really been popular since WW2.
Theres practically no protein or fat in it, its all carbs if you don't add sour cream. But its so fucking packed with vitamin C that its gonna cure scurvy in anyone within a 10 mile radius. Perfect for when you're just trying your "damned hardest to make it through the winter without losing more than one kid to starvation before the spring crops come in" as my great grandpa put it.

I like a lot of hard candy

>>13466678
cold vodka and pork rinds, vernor's ginger ale in cans and smoked nuts. full flavor cigarettes while at work and menthols after meals, a spoonful of grenadine in a scotch and soda, and wafer cookies.

they were draft-dodgers who came over during WWII from Russia through Denmark but were 200% mutt before they even set foot in New York. They had a lot of strange customs passed down from generations and generations of gettin the fuck out X European country before the economy collapsed/they were occupied. Somehow now Jewish though

Took grandpa to a dive bar and he mentioned how places back in the day used to have a big ass jar in the corner with pickled eggs that you could snack on.

I looked up a recipe and made a batch at home for shits and giggles, now I always have a jar going no matter what.

>>13466938
are you Louie Anderson?

>>13466678
Sunflower seeds and Vodka with my 88 year old grandpa never gets old, guy never went to school but knows more about the forests around here then any dumbass scientist, worked as a forester for almost 60 fucking years and does not regret a single day he spent there.

>>13466831
Well it does cost money, and it was tried and the cancer tumor grew back so it was a losing fight.
Personally I think I'd at least try to extend what I can before going into the red.

Butter pecan ice cream

Ammonium chloride licorice

charleston chews and horehound candy

Sesame bars, sparkling water, Fresca, canned fish. I like most of the "shitty" candies too.

>>13466831
>Of course they were americans. Surprisingly, there's a lot who do just that in this shit hole.

Yeah, whereas in another country, you could cost your countrymen millions to artificially extend your life a few weeks.

Fucking selfish dickhead.

My grandma would always have these and id always have one or two every time i went over there. And ginger ale and Hershey's individually wrapped chocolates. She was such an old fashioned grandma. Rest in peace.

I still like the tapioca and rice puddings I used to eat at my grandma's house as a kid. And my grandfather, whose first job was as a soda jerk, introduced me to the humble egg cream.

>>13466678
my pawpaw would make scrambled eggs for me at breakfast. it was the only thing he knew how to make, but young me thought pawpaw making me breakfast was the best things ever.

my mawmaw would make chicken & dumplings, but they were always kinda greasy.

These motherfuck*rs

>>13466678
Grilled cheese and tomato soup.

>>13466678
My grandma would make candy a few times a year from scratch (sugar, various fruit/herb oils, food coloring, etc). It wasn't amazing but I thought it was cool that you could make candy rather than buy it.
Also, Werther's Original. Grandpa always had some to give the kids.

>>13466760

Anything my Grandpa made, his cooking was the best, he always cooked it clean looking and perfectly browned! his eggs would come out all clean and white with no specks in it from bits sticking to the pan.

And my Grandmother always knew how to make a hearty meal, she spoiled me on salads. I don't think I've ever been as full as I have when I had hers. so many vegetables

They're hard candies, filled with actual honey.

My grandma had a jar of these chocolate wafers with sprinkles on the bottom. Unlike the picture the sprinkles were always white but the chocolate came in different colors (but all tasted the same)

I miss my grandparents, I used to hate getting dropped off there because there were no video games but I realize now it was because my mom and dad just wanted to have a nice dinner at a fancy restaurant without my loud autistic ass

My grandmother always kept these around.

Grape nuts and milk

>>13468496
>Unrealistic hopes and dreams
It'll never happen, dickhead.

>>13466950
Based grandpa. I mean really, fucking based.

>>13466678
Kedem's grape juice.

My grandma was a second gen danish immigrant, so she brought some stuff. During Christmas, she would make pebber nodder, which is like this slightly sweet sugar cookie that you roll and cut into little chunks. My mom has made it for everyone since I can remember. My grandma passed away right after thanksgiving. I will keep making them, and share it with my kids.

that and she would serve pickles with every meal. I love pickles. sometimes we would make a kringle, but normally we just had pebber nodder.

>>13466678
Coke with peanuts poured into the bottle.

WELL
not only does it cost money, but depending on the type of cancer, it's better to take the cancer head and die comfortable than be bedridden from chemo and suffer for years

Porco dio se fanno cagare, meglio la versione latte e miele

>>13466722
nice blog

Those square-ish lemon and orange doily shaped cookies from Archway. Not even sure if they MAKE those anymore. But granny had them and they were lit.

My gentleman of color.

Detroit born here.

>>13468344
Fuck, yes.

my grandad loved prime rib and budweiser

>>13466831
Canadian here. My grandad went on chemo and we regretted doing it even though it was free. He spent his final days sick and bed-ridden in a hospital so that we could have an extra week with a suffering delusional man. Past a certain age modern medicine is a sick monkeys paw.

cottage cheese with canned peaches

Your grandma likes to snack on deez nuts homie

>>13470105
Came here to post this

These and lemon drops.

>>13466722
based, sounds like my grandma too. Was your grandma raised during the depression?
>grew up on rural kansas farm during the depression
>raised her 5 siblings at the same time
>never wasted a cent, always looking for deals, recycling containers for other purposes\
>has her own garden, cans and dries fruit from it, including peaches, plums, apples, strawberries, snap peas, rhubarb, spinach
> egg cartons saved for storing the fruit in before drying, cool whip for storing food she made, etc.
>had a whole barter system set up with all her neighbors to exchange the food for
she had a stroke recently and was no longer able to live on her own so we sold her house, it made me tear up seeing her garden completely empty like that. she made such good rhubarb-strawberry pie too :(

also she would make pierogies and kolaczki (not polish, she learned it from her neighbors years ago) and man those were good, now my dad and I make them together as a comfy christmas tradition
