As a native West Virginian who survived the depression and spent 30 years in the U.S.Navy, may I introduce the lyrics I learned relative to "Bread and Gravy"- (about as Welsh as you can get):

On Monday we had bread and gravy
On Tuesday twas gravy and bread
On Wednesday and Thursday we had gravy on toast- now that's nothing but gravy and bread
On Friday I said to the landlord, don't you think that it's time for a change
On Saturday morning, in the way of a change, we had gravy without any bread

    To those who have lived the "good life" and have been deprived of the "palate-pleasing" flavors of lard and water gravy, and lard and water biscuits, which were sometimes the staples of our lives,you are indeed fortunate. And aren't all of us who live in this WONDERFUL country?????
