Growing up in humble background

Yes we didn't have much but the little we had was enough for our survival.
I learned alot especially from my mum on how to improvise what I have to get what I want. Sometimes there's no salt so you have to take some wood ash mix with water then decant. That's what we used the following day as salt. I provided a fine pure salty flavour as opposed to processed iodized salt.

I use sea salt. The goodness hasn't been processed out of it.

As the old maxim goes - 'Necessity is the mother of invention.'
Credit your mother for her ingenuity at improvising. Improvisation gets us through anything.
No shame in humble beginnings. In fact I am proud of it. My old folks had been through the harrowing second world war. They had nothing. My father dove sixteen feet to get seafood for his family. My grandmother's house was directly hit by the Japanese bomb. My mother, as a child of five, had to chase a cat with a loaf of bread, so she and her smaller siblings could eat. Both my parents got through life well and good. They used salt to clean their teeth.

@Nungari1 Many would argue with me but I stand by my conviction that poverty is a blessing. The Holy Family, after all, is poor.
Way to go with you and your mother.
