I would have to agree that it didn't sound at all appetizing. To each his own I guess.<br />Hard candy....always a mainstay in our family as well, Louise. We also would have 'clear toys' which was a very hard candy and was made in Amherst, N.S I believe. Can still get it.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11199777195853274898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349947899983990762.post-14921071798056960452016-05-29T16:59:45.523-06:002016-05-29T16:59:45.523-06:00I wish more of the world's social problems cou...I wish more of the world's social problems could be solved by seven cigarettes.

Everyone must get their fair share. I can see how an argument would have happened if someone got more. I think it was a good quality to have in the tribe where no one was above the others. But it must have been hard to sit there with cold food while waiting for things to be settled. Your dad integrated well into their society but he drew the line at eating lard.

Quite a contrast to our own.<br /><br />I've had bannock a couple of times, at a pow-wow near Winnipeg and here at Fort Edmonton Park one summer. It's okay. And of course, hard candy was always part of our Christmas too when I was a kid. The biggest treat was hard ribbon candy.Debra She Who Seekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01845703092794695023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349947899983990762.post-81711107405778412062016-05-27T06:38:51.772-06:002016-05-27T06:38:51.772-06:00They had to wait until everyone was served?
