Mayo Cake may sound weird to people, but mayonnaise is already made of egg, oil, and some other ingredients, so it was a natural replacement for an egg and butter/oil like we do with packaged cake mixes. With the other ingredients in mayonnaise, it actually turns out a very moist cake with a little bit of extra flavor or tang.
oh wow that's interesting. When I was a kid, my dad taught me how to make SOS and told me his family had to eat that in the 30's cos they were broke. Didn't know it was a "thing" back then! I'm a vegetarian and I like to make morningstar bacon SOS!
My mom, a depression kid, liked sandwiches made with leftover baked beans and onions or a fried egg with onions. Actually a pretty tasty alternative for meat.when I was a kid ring baloney was cheap and she would make a potato soup with it adding drop noodles. We loved it! She made an alternate style with cabbage and milk. I still make these cheap food hacks because they are delicious ❤ I almost forgot meatloaf-the sandwiches are better than lunch meat which is atrociously priced!
Mexican Cornbread. Put in some creamed corn, put down a layer and top with jalapenos and cheese. Repeat and pour some charro beans on top and you have a cheap, healthy great meal!
SOS is one of our family's favorite breakfasts, but it's not inexpensive any more. Dried beef is VERY pricey.
Me too, but alot of times, I just use ground pork or sausage.

I hate that I'm swayed to actually try peanut butter onion. LOL
Mayo went from $.99 a jar to $7.99…..
Not certain it makes sense now, sadly😢
Its easy to make your own though!
I just apprehensively made a PB&Mayo sandwich and it's actually waaaay better than I thought it would be... Thanks!
Peanut butter and pickle sandwiches were a stable during my childhood. Still very yummy!

I make SOS occasionally but I use Buddig roast beef instead of dried beef.
