vittles
Down-home eats
Vittles is an informal or dialectal word for food, especially a hearty meal or provisions: We packed enough vittles for the whole camping trip.
The spelling reflects folk pronunciation of "victuals," which has the same meaning but sounds more formal.
Vittles appears often in rural, Southern, or old-fashioned American speech, and in depictions of frontier or country life.
