White Trash food

Rate: 1 Flag

I used to use the term "white trash," until a (black) friend gave me the evil eye and told me it was offensive, that there is no term "black trash," only the "n" word and such. She wasn't the type who looks to be racially (or gender-ally) offended, so I believed her and switched to "trailer trash."

Years later, a Latina subordinate (who was the type looking to be offended) took offense. Even though my parents once had a trailer and my in-laws currently do, I took the hint.

I switched to "Springer" figuring that was free choice, so no one could be offended. So far, I've never been confronted. So here is my Springer dinner because a contractor was supposed to come tonight and never showed. (DH is out of town; DS ate a real meal while waiting for the contractor.)

  • Take a slice of processed bologna
  • Smear as much cream cheese as it will hold
  • Add several dill slices or a spear

Roll it or fold it, then enjoy. I haven't had it in years, but it is honestly yummy! The first time I had it, at a company pot-luck, we all joked that the contributor must be pregnant. Even though I've never eaten it while pregnant, I love it whenever I happen to have the ingredients.

Sounds disgusting, but it's actually good. So, whether or not you're white trash, trailer trash, a Springer fan, or a foodie, give it a try.

I'm tongue-in-cheek about what to call it, but really, I ate 4 of these tonight, and they're still good.
