Not only as a child even into my 20's and 30's I ate that stuff. Now the sodium would kill me 🫨

Oh, yeah, the deviled ham and "potted chicken" spreads were popular at my house. Spread on saltines, they were a great snack.

The ingredients in old-fashioned canned potted meat typically include:
- Mechanically separated chicken (often the first ingredient).
1 - Beef tripe (the muscle wall from a cow's stomach lining).
1 - Pork byproducts such as hearts and tongues.
1 - Spices and flavorings like salt, pepper, and sometimes brandy or dry sherry.
2 - Preservatives to enhance shelf life.

These ingredients are finely ground and bound with soy protein concentrate to create the distinct, spreadable texture of potted meat.

We had a meat grinder. I learned to make my own sandwich meat from left over roast and ham, that would put that^^^ and spam to shame.

Spam was another 'nasty' that was often in my lunchbox.. never knew what that was, either.

Homemade ham and roast beef spread with sweet pickle or horseradish and mayonnaise were always a treat.

Due to my blood pressure, I keep salty foods at a minimum, but now and then it's okay to have a sandwich made of lunch meat, Spam, etc. Same thing with sugar - too many cookies / sweets aren't okay, but I enjoy my sweets.
Life offers less as we go along to enjoy. I eat aa lot of vegetables, and restrict salt much of the time, bt I won't sit here eating unsalted, unsweetened foods day in, day out. It just depends on how a person chooses to look at this, but I plan to enjoy some things along the way. To each his own.
