Mom’s Taverns – Adult Sloppy Joes

The first time I recall having Taverns,I was really little, and it was the early, or mid-Sixties.Made for us kids as a lunch or dinner, they were always consumed with vigor. They were “officially” Taverns until  the Apple Cider Vinegar hit the pan and the distinctive tang filled the air.

My mother would never serve them with jalapeños, that’s a recent addition. and completely optional. I serve this concoction on French Toast, Rye Bread Toast and as pictured (Whole Wheat) English Muffins. Mom served them on Hamburger Buns, or Toast.
