it was ONIONS

 

Good guess Vicky.

 

I know that onions may seem a highly un-likely treat, but I would eat bread and milk ......

and onions,

dipped in a pile of salt

 I had poured on the table,

 at 11:00 at night when we would get in from the farm.

I loved the onions with salt

and would sneak into the garden with the salt shaker 

hoping Grandpa  wouldn't notice all his onions disappearing.

 

This was so much fun watch for more questions, I am on a painting frenzy!!
