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.
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.

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.
