Food for College Life

My grandmother attended Western Kentucky University's teacher program in the 1940's. This was during the war, and there was a storage of teachers. She studied and received a certificate to teach school. She taught at one room schools for about 5 years.

She said that while attending college her favorite thing was to go to down town Bowling Green. She would get a grilled cheesed sandwich, topped with bread and butter pickles. Then she would return to her dorm, where she would down a sleeve of Ritz Crackers. She loved eating these items even when she was older. I especially remember her eating bread and butter pickles with nearly everything, including cakes. I also remember her first trip to Mariahs, a famous restaurant in Bowling Green, she ordered a grill cheese sandwich. She was just as happy with the grill cheese as the most expensive entree.
