    I personally know an older family friend who told me he used to eat raw ground beef that he sprinkled salt on, it wasn’t too uncommon in rural areas.

    I thought that was something only my grandmother did. Glad to see she wasn’t completely mad, and it was in fact a thing that other people did. She also used to eat sugar cube sandwiches so she’s not totally off the hook yet.

      My mom told me she and her siblings ate sugar sandwiches too, though I think they used granulated sugar and maybe some butter.

      Did your grandma ever mention dipping slices of bread in a bowl of milk? That’s something else my old family friend did.

        I ate stale bread torn up into pieces and covered in milk at my grandmother’s house when I was a child. Usually with a teaspoon of sugar on top. It was a way to use up the stale bread, and honestly I liked it.
