Always talking about how lousy the concessions are at Clemson, I say we upgrade by adding Beanie Weenies, Vienna Sausage, Potted Meat, Spam, Moon Pies and some RC Cola. That's some good eatin.

My only problem would be it would still cost a family of four 100 bucks to eat that stuff?

Some 50 years ago while working on a construction job we gathered for lunch around a fire we'd built to keep warm one winter. There was a small mom and pop store about a half mile from the site so someone would leave a little early for lunch and take orders for everyone on the job.
When he returned it marked the beginning of lunch and we gathered our bounty to dine. One of the electricians was sitting a way back from the rest of us one day. Someone asked him why he hadn't sat with us before and he explained that he was ashamed that he couldn't afford the stuff we ate and how he was going to start buying his lunch at the store when he got his first paycheck.
Someone invited him to come sit a little closer to the fire and after opening our cans of benie weenies and such he pulled out a couple of 4" diameter, homemade, cathead biscuit with a half inch thick slab of country ham in the middle.
Not a man there wouldn't have traded lunches with him.

Around 40 years ago my wife and I were heading up to see her family in east Tennessee. Our route would be 95 to 26 to 40 across the mountains to Jefferson City, TN.
Our normal routine was for me to drive except first thing in the morning. We spend the night in Orangeburg. I would get a cup of coffee and newspaper and read the paper and drink my coffee. After an hour or so, we'd fins a restaurant and eat breakfast. We decided to drive through Columbia and stop at the first place we found. Well, back then, there wasn't anything. Finally saw a sign that simple said "Eats" at an exit. We took it and about 1/4 mile down the road there was a restaurant that looked like an old farm house. We walked up 3 or 4 steps and went in the front door. The kitchen was off to our right and the dining room to our left. There was a half wall so you could see into the kitchen.
We sat down and asked for coffee. The waitress (you called them that 40 years ago) came back with the coffee and two menus. I said, "I don't need a menu. I know what I want." My wife who isn't a breakfast eater glanced at the menu and ordered a sweet roll. I ordered "Biscuits and gravy."
When the waitress left my wife said, "How did you know they served biscuits and gravy. I just nodded toward the kitchen. The cook was an African-American woman who weighed about 300 lbs and she was singing "Amazing Grace."
Needless to say the biscuits and gravy were delicious!

I'm South Carolina born and lived here in SC 55 of my 73 years, and putting peanuts in my Pepsi is something I've never liked, I have tried it a couple of times, but that was a southern thing I didn't like...

Home of RC Cola and home of Tom's Peanuts.
I can't count the number of times I had peanuts in my RC.

As a broke college student, I would go to the convenience store next to the soccer field and buy the BBQ Vienna Sausage. If I had enough money then I would treat myself to a hot dog off of the rotisserie cooker. It was good stuff at midnight.

If you like smoked oysters let me tell you something to try. Cook a half cup of rice for about 10 minutes and allow it to drain really well, chop up a small yellow onion and mushrooms, put them in the drained rice with a 1/4 Butter/Margerine. Open 4 cans of smoked oysters and drain all the oil off them (but don't rinse them off) put everything in a microwave bowl stir it up really well. Cover and microwave for 5 minutes, take out and stir again, back in microwave for 3 more minutes to make sure the rice is completely done. Man you will have a meal for two that that's fit for a King. It is awesome good!!!

I'm happy they came out with lower sodium Vienna's (my granny used to pronounce them with a "R" on the end like Vi-Aynor).

I’d be all in for a fried Spam sammich.
My Dad always took Vienna Sausages and saltines when I was a kid and we were fishing in the rivers and creeks around Johns Island.

.... I'm sure they would sell pigs-in-a-blanket.
If you've never had that, turn in your Southern card.
(The real pigs in a blanket are made with Vienna sausage, not hot dogs, link sausage or any other substitute.)
