Tinned fish and soda crackers. Huh! My father (born 1923) grew up in the depression deep south (his family was relatively well to do -- my grandfather was CFO for the Nehi soda pop company) but he saw how the other half lived -- look at the photos of Margaret Bourke White). He told me once that a typical cheap lunch for the working poor -- a nickel or a dime -- was a can of sardines and a small box of soda crackers.
Inevitably segwaying: defeat in the Civil War crushed the south in just about every way and its stifling effects lasted 100 years. It was really a different country; read Flannery O'Connor.
