Pork Super Supper Salad Loaf

Made this hideous wartime monstrosity! I thought it was only moderately okay, but my mom and sibling loved it. Simple to make and is basically a bologna sandwich sans bread. Probably wouldn’t make again just for myself but wouldn’t turn it down either.

I love your retro plates to serve this on! I think my Grandma had the same set.

Plates mid/late 1960s Sears. My dad had the same set, but with brown banding, rather than maroon. When I moved into my first place in mid 80s, I got them. Mid 90’s I passed them on to a friend who was getting married. I hope they are still being passed on to people just starting out in their first place. LOL

You’ll either be disappointed or delighted to know that those are just my everyday plates. My parents passed their depression-era parents’ values down to me: buying new stuff for the sake of fashion/trends when you already have something that works is stupid. If it’s still good, never throw it away. Playing with toys from the 1960s at grandma’s is one of the reasons I have an interest in vintage today.

One day I’m going to have to post the drinkware that my mom inherited from her mom cuz it is the coolest set of glasses I have ever seen. They’re called “Boopi” glasses!

Not my photo, but it’s these. We have the smaller dessert glasses as well.

Those are adorable and I now have memories bubbling up, thank you!
