My Mame-like aunt used to amuse 5 year old me with a snack of several soda crackers on a saucer, topped with a spoon of canned milk and boiling water, sprinkle of sugar. She gave it some fanciful name and I thought it was wonderful. I'd go home and tell my mother who would shake her head in disgust. But I remember these "treats" as delicious to this day.
