One of my favorite meals as a child was my Nana’s “Slop”. As a new bride in August of 1968 I asked her for her recipe. As I read it now I have to smile; since she told me to ask the butcher for a meaty soup bone and he would probably GIVE it to me or maybe charge me 10 or 15 cents for it. I make this often in the winter and I love that it has become one of my grandchildren’s and my great grandson’s favorites. —GiGi26
