Thanks for another great post, Frank. Just a thought about the oatmeal and ground beef thing, I’m older than Matt and my family (of seven) was middle class. My mother made a meatloaf recipe that called for Quaker Oats oatmeal (uncooked, of course) I wonder if that is what he is referring to. If so, its a little misleading…
My mom made hamburger patties, coated them with egg, and covered them with oats before frying them. We also often had meatloaf made with hamburger and chopped up bread; I wouldn’t be surprised if there was oats in the meatloaf too. I only had two siblings, though; I can’t imagine what it would have been like in a family of eleven kids.
My mom said she and her sisters had to eat bread with gravy when the men and boys got meat. She had 13 siblings though, and that was during the depression.
Anyway, you may be right that Matt is a liar, but extending meat with oatmeal doesn’t seem that unlikely; I know from personal experience that even smaller families did that sort of thing in the late twentieth century.
