Depression Era - Creamed Tuna (SOS)

 

I don't know about you but I grew up on creamed tuna on toast, my dad grew up on it and my grandmother did too.  Now I remember my dad always called it $h!t on a shingle and although as kids we weren't allowed to call it that it was rarely referred to as creamed tuna on toast at our house.  My grandmother called it that too and we loved it.  I preferred my grandmother's version the best.  Not just because she added frozen peas and sliced hard boiled eggs to it but also because she made it.  My father hates peas so my mom always left them out and it just depended on whether or not she would add the eggs.  My mom said it didn't matter how many people showed up for dinner at my grandmother's house, apparently she would just add more milk and make more toast and off that one can of tuna she'd make sure everyone got some.  I hadn't had this in a good long time, but recently I made some to go over some leftover biscuits I had and it was a hit.  I'm adding it back to my regular menu plan.  How about you?  Anyone else out there remember this gem?
