Buick Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Best: Chicken Patty Day Worst: Tater Tot Caserole I remember when I didn't like any of the meals all day, so I had PBJ for every meal. 2 for breakfast, probably 3 for lunch and dinner, and another 2 or 3 for snack. PBJ never gets old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Other Mike Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 (edited) This is a generational thing, but before there were food trucks we had a daily allowance given to us in cash. So, a good food stop was where there was plenty of variety, and not just fast food.Garry in Vegas Grandson of an Ohioan from Wapakoneta Same here. When we were on the way back to New Orleans from the North, we always hit the all you could eat truckstop in West Memphis. Funny how we were given $3 a day to eat on and you usually had monet left over............ I also remember when we were running late, they would just buy tons of donuts and put them on each bus. A good time to sit in the front since peope in the back usually didn't get much. That was just one reason ice chests and sterno stoves were brought by a few people who paid their corps fees by "cooking meals" for people and charging a kings ransom for them. Me ? I made my money by operating a general store knowing that at times, we would not stop for 24-36 hours. Vienna sausage crackers Spam bread King Dongs Cigarettes ( back when cigarettes were less than .60 a pack, I could get .25 a cigarette with no objection ) Matches cookies,candy shoe polish valve oil batteries ( can't enjoy an 8 track tape player without batteries ) And I had the consession on polishing shoes Edited February 16, 2010 by The Other Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rookie328 Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 I think any Madison Scout will agree with me when I say... Corn Dogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxingfred Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 I think any Madison Scout will agree with me when I say...Corn Dogs. But, 20 Corn Dogs would be totally ridiculous! And, if you did have 20 corn dogs, I'm sure half of the corn Dogs are just breaded hot dogs pretending to be Corn Dogs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanAndreasen Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Fruit loops and Captain Crunch. Yep, all we could eat. The Emerald Knights came from Cedar Rapids the home Quaker Oats and General Mills. Heck, we used to give cases of the stuff to corps at our home show. Oh, and cheesy peas and fried chicken. 86 & 87 we ate high off the hog. The corps was cash rich - we ate steak at least once a week, even gave ten $500 scholarships (dues were only $300), and I don't think ground beef was ever on the menu.
