Gravy bread (just bread dipped in gravy, but it was a real treat)

jello

headcheese (homemade, natch)

Fresca

cheese that didn't come pre-sliced, or sealed in plastic - it was a
block of cheese dipped in red wax. You'd cut a slice, then peel off
the wax coating.

homemade root beer

loosemeat (crumbled seasoned ground beef cooked in a skillet and
served on buttered bread)

margarine
