Velveeta and Cheez Whiz. And you used a thread to slice the Velveeta. No individually wrapped cheese slices. No spreadable cream cheese. I remember my sister making a cheesecake and it being a really 'special' dessert.
On another note, the first time I tried broccoli and cauliflower, I was in my mid 20's. We never had rutabaga or squash growing up, because our Mom refused to plant it. That was one thing that would grow during the dirty thirties and she refused to ever eat it again. I actually quite like it.
And macaroni or noodles was served with cream gravy. You'd cook the smoked farmer sausage and then make a roux with flour and the pan drippings, add cream and simmer. The thought of it can still make my mouth water.
