Tuna gravy! I grew up on the stuff served over rice and fed it to my
kids when money was tight. Old days it was one 6 ounce can of tuna
(about a dime back then), one can of cream of mushroom soup (also a
dime), maybe some onions or other items that would go good. Served over
rice. We bought rice in 42 lb bags for about 3 bucks at a nearby rice
drier and kept the bag in the kitchen. If my father was out on strike we
lived on tuna gravy and rice and one of the 200 white Leghorn chickens
my mother raised from chicks. Got them in the mail from somewhere. What
a memory, I think I'll make tuna gravy and rice this week just for the
memory.
