I figured it was a local thing where he grew up in the Auburn-Durham-Gardner areas within his own family, but I now treasure this extra information about how it was a true New England tradition. (Mom was terrified of eating fish and choking on a bone, so we always had the usual cookout as a kid.)Thank you!Judy Parker Colehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14433254814763298418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533717770805440813.post-1180571191545191472020-07-03T16:40:06.523-07:002020-07-03T16:40:06.523-07:00My grandfather planted his Maine garden day after ...My grandfather planted his Maine garden day after Memorial Day, so the peas for the fourth were usually from the first harvest of the summer. 1946 on ..... We still had the change of snow in May. Gardens in New England were planted Memorial Day week and by Labor Day they were closing down.( It wasn't unusual to have snow in September). Fall brought beautiful apples,pumpkins and lots of potatoes it the year was good. <br /> jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03196723836330955284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533717770805440813.post-41626994468094453062017-07-04T21:19:09.639-07:002017-07-04T21:19:09.639-07:00I grew up on tuna wiggle, with canned tuna and pea...I grew up on tuna wiggle, with canned tuna and peas in a white sauce over toast.

For that I'm eternally grateful. I have never been able to acquire a taste for salmon. I have tried quite a few times, over the years, with no success. I find the flavor so strong that I can still taste it the next day. I'll leave the tradition to hardier New Englanders.
