where are you going? snack food is generally sold as such, you'd undoubtedly be better off buying prepackaged snacks than creating your own

Great Value brand turkey lunchmeat + kraft singles + white bread

you is a wonderbread white boy

we don't eat that shit hwere I come from (the hood)

my mom used to give me sandwiches like that in my lunch, only it wasn't great value brand turkey and it was american cheese instead of kraft singles and cheap store brand wheat bread instead of white. the cheap store brand wheat bread we used to get is offensively bland and much worse than normal tasteless white bread. the sandwich would get moist from being packed in the lunch box and would end up smelling like hell by the time I got to it. one time at a picnic table in the sun with bees buzzing around a nearby trash can I gagged on one of these sandwiches. that's growing up. my kids will experience the same thing.

also a couple times my mom packed me canned vienna sausages in a watery beef broth. I remember the first time I got them I pulled back the metal lid, not knowing what they were but expecting something similar to breakfast sausage. instead these sausages were clammy, tan-pink logs soaking in greasy clear yellow broth. some of the broth spilled over the side of the can and got on the table, under the dim fluorescent lighting of the windowless cafeteria. for some reason, I guess because I was a kid, I actually started eating em. the first one was really gross, but I know I at least started a second because I didn't want to waste food. there were 7 in a can. I gave one to my fat friend who would always eat my leftovers but even he didn't want any!! I'm still not sure they're supposed to be eaten raw

I've got some questions to ask when I get back home. anyone else have similar experiences? if you ever had to eat kraft singles plain as a kid it's ok you're already in the club.

brown bag lunch derail yeah!!

i didn't usually take packed lunches but if there was something at school i didn't like that day i would. my mom would put mustard/ketchup on the sandwiches and it would just make the soggy bread issue even worse. she never put cheese on mine but she would put lettuce on them and by the time lunch rolled around it would be a dingy red/brown tint.

eventually she started buying those lunchable things after i kept asking. i don't know how i used to eat those things, they're terrible. several months ago a younger cousin was eating one at a family event and the smell of them made me a little nauseous.

I just read the op, he means hors d'oeuvres like deviled eggs and spring rolls. I think people were stumped by "cooking a snack" what kind of snack do you cook

Vienna sausages are meant to be eaten out of the can. Kind of like potted meat or sardines.

My mom used to make us eat them all the time when I was a kid and we went to the creek to go swimmin. I didn't like them much then either because you don't know what the hell kind of processed meat they make those things out of. I hate fucking spam though, god I hate that shit. My mom yells at me because they stock up on it for hurricanes or just sheer laziness of not wanting to cook anything and when the dogs run out of food I fed them all of the spam because its shit and cheap as hell. Plus dogs really like it.

spam's ok I think, I kinda like it in sandwiches. Pretty good as far as questionable "meat" in tins goes anyway.
