    I remember my grandmother who lived to age 98 told me about an “all-day sucker” - basically fill a spoon in peanut butter, and when it’s done, fill it up again. Repeat all day. Can you tell she lived during the depression?

    I didn’t think much of it as a kid. Thought it was a pretty good idea. Then I learned about food sanitation practices, and reconsidered.

        In modern fat American terms, sure. But in the Depression? You better make that spoon last at least an hour or two
