My grandma used to make "spaghetti like great-grandma" which consisted of elbow
macaroni, tomato soup and bacon.  Not Italian, but very tasty.

Wow!  That was a long time ago.  So back in the 1980's, the gov't had "surplus"
food (because of the usual gov't reasons) that they would give out to low
income or other "needy" people.

The food was usually butter, cheese and, sometimes, honey.

The honey was just regular honey.  The butter was awful, but grandma found that
it worked really nice for butter toffee.  The cheese, though...  Oh, the cheese
was really good.  Sort of like a very firm Velveeta.  It melted nice and had a
good flavor.  Us college guys made grilled cheese sandwiches.  Sometimes we
made mac and cheese too.
