Who ever ate like that? I do remember an episode of the Honeymooners where
Ralph complained of eating hot dogs again and also that Loretta Lynn movie
where they were on the road for days on end and had to eat endless amounts
of bologna, in both cases because the food was cheap.

I think most newlywed cooks try to impress their new spouse by trying lots
of new things. Things that may or may not work. I can remember working my
way through cookbooks. The "Company's Coming Beef and Peaches" would surely
have kept that company from coming back had I served it to them! Luckily, I
only served it to my husband and it didn't go over so well.
