Szalonna and dirty bread. Those that are Hungarian will know what I mean.

I’m Hungarian. So’s my wife. Never heard of either. I feel cheated.

Seriously. is there no other better ambrosia to your palate then KALLES CREAMED SMOKED ROE?
I don't think so.

Look it up. It’s good to eat but very bad for you

Meets both of my criteria!

Maybe not so much, once you know what it is...

Edit: Looked it up, a kind of a smoked bacon that is sliced and fired, and grilled veggies (drizzled with the bacon grease) on rye.
Yep sounds good, probably not very healthy. So yes, I would try it.

sauteed lambs quarters (a wild green)
pressure cooked new potatoes and green beans from the garden
watermelon rind pickles (sweet)

We'd sometimes have steamed dandelion or milkweed greens. Both were best early in the season before they blossomed.
My mother also used to make watermelon pickles, haven't had them in years. You're the first person outside my family that's even heard of them.

Some items that I love that you don't see a lot of anymore:

Pickled eggs.
Grandma's pickled beets.
Salt Herring.

Sliced bread with butter beans poured over top. still one of my favorites.

Dandelion and berry wines our neighbor made.

Add pickle relish on top and it is one of the best meals ever.
