I asked my mom what she remembers her grandparents eating; here's some of what she remembers, a lot of which they grew themselves:

  • Potatoes
  • Cabbage
  • Tomatoes
  • Beans and green beans
  • Liver and onions
  • Chicken
  • Eggs
  • Pork / ham as a treat
  • Blackberries and raspberries
  • Rhubarb
  • Lettuce
  • Homemade bread
  • Corn
  • Peas

Adding on here: spinach, parsnips, carrots, celery, lots of onions with other things. cucumbers, and summer and winter squash, cottage cheese, and apples and pears, cherries in the late spring, grapefruit from Florida or California in the winter and oranges in the summer.
