- mmagin 13y agoYou laugh, but I've heard of people making the same with Crisco.
- fennecfoxen 13y agoIndeed. My mother always told us that we should be thankful for all the beans and lentils we had when money was tight because when she was going to school, the really poor kids had Crisco sandwiches for lunch. (And her mother spent time in a Siberian labor camp as a youth, so we'll all be eating supper at the table like a family, and not like a refugee, thank you very much.)
