LOL......Can't blame you. Seriously you should at least give it a taste....just out of curiosity. Have it fried, paired with fried potatoes, and fried eggs over easy, and buttered toast for a breakfast meal....any time of day.
SOS (aka Shit On a Shingle): to properly correct your dad, meaning no offense...is hamburger in white gravy on burnt toast.....and is rather good if the toast isn't burnt.
Can't fault your mom as any "food" eaten regularly turns one off what at first was better than nothing when you're hungry. ie. like eating steak 3 times a day for several days and a plain bologna sandwich becomes a delicious treat.
