[Charlie Steiner]

I'd go with roast, gravy, mashed potatoes and carrots.

And lima beans

 

[ChiefD]

Couldn't you just look at them to determine if they were greater than 65 years old? 

 

[parasaurolophus]

liver and onions

 

[Mr. Know-It-All]

Well, liver and onions would be on that list.  Who eats that nastiness unless you are so old your taste buds no longer work.

 

[belljr]

I'd go with roast, gravy, mashed potatoes and carrots.

And lima beans

This is a great meal

And another favorite of mine - liverwurst sandwich :yum:

Maybe I am 65

Came to post liver.  Also, salisbury steak or swiss steak.

You could just have the taste of someone over 65...not sure which is worse.

 

[Mr. Know-It-All]

Stewed prunes - and regardless of what they are eating if I see them eating in Cracker Barrel or Old Country Buffet or Golden Corral chances are pretty good that they are over 65.

Oatmeal

Liverwurst is great, but I can't order it out, I have to make the sandwich at home.  I love the flavor of it, but I have to put a thin layer on bread or the texture gets to me.  If you order one at a deli and they give you the liverwurst an inch thick, I gag on it.  Single layer of slices, about 1/4" thick on pumpernickel is the ( o Y o )

Sardines

 

[McJose]

A C-Ration?

Yeah, prunes/prune juice is a good one.

[Charlie Steiner]

My old man liked his potted meat.  

Did that include Underwood Deviled Ham?  Haven't touched it in 35 years or so, mainly because I don't want to ruin yet another fond childhood memory.

 

[lakerstan]

Spam - unless they are Hawaiian.

 

[Jayrok]

Yes, deviled ham.  He could eat a can of potted meat and a can of sardines with a few saltines every day for lunch.  He didn't bathe every day, though.  

 

[Juxtatarot]

I worked at an ice cream shop as a teenager in the late '80s.  The only people that ordered phosphates were 70+.  I suspect all the phosphate drinkers have died off and you can't even order one these days.

 

[Raging weasel]

First things I thought of we're liver and onions and sardine sandwiches which we're both mentioned. How about fried ring bolonge?

 

[KarmaPolice]

Around the holidays = that nasty fruit cake that only grandmas seem to digest.
