Personal Notes:
When my father came home from the service in about 1946, he had several things he had learned to love during his days in the Army. He loved Spam, which he sometimes fried; he loved sardines, which he ate out of the can; and he loved oyster stew. When he had a deep craving for oyster stew, he always made it himself. He didn't like onions or spices in his stew, so it was rather like potato soup...with oysters. Of course, we all had to help with the preparation, though I wouldn't eat it, and I don't know that any of the other children would.
