Favourite childhood foods?

[Sonic]

Ok peeps. Yet another one of my pointless and time wasting threads about nothing in particular (hey when you've got a talent, use it ;) ).

Today's topic is this;

Was there a food or snack that you remember from childhood? Perhaps something your Mum (or Mom) made you if you were ill. Or a fave chocolate bar that you haven't seen in decades.

Annnnd go. :)

I used to love McDonalds happy meal fish fingers

Mum's pasta al forno (lasagna) and Nutella, which I still eat now :lips:

And btw, food-threads are never pointless :p :

Mmmmm.

[billiaml]

Spaghetti & meatballs.

[Easy Drifter]

Mother's Brownies and fresh corn on the cob. Still do with the corn.

[Mark]

Meals out the kids option was often a giant fish finger!

[Tazio]

Rhubarb Cobbler :)

My mum makes a fantastic lasagna..... :facelick:

Fried chicken oven baked in heavy cream.
Fish egg tapioca, cooked in coffee cream.

I have a large bag of the fish egg size tapioca, may have to cook some up, it has been a few years.

[JackSparrow]

Any kind of dessert or cake

[Rollo]

Bird's Angel Delight - Strawberry Flavour.

Although now, I don't understand how I let alone anyone else could eat it. Nowadays I think it's vile.

Caldo de pollo, which is chicken stew with vegetables and a delicious broth.

Due to my mum being a terrible cook I am struggling to remember anything from my childhood which I miss these days :s My dad used to make curries properly but hasn't done so in years sadly.

Spangles. Those were the bestist sweets ever :)

[62motorsport]

Cream of tripe and onions or raw tripe and vinigar, YUM ! YUM !

I used to eat Peanut Butter and Jam sandwiches all the time.

Also put me down for Grilled Cheese Sandwiches or a plate of Kraft Dinner ( a Canadian invention of the world's easiest and plainest Macaroni and Cheese...

Wow, there's a dish invented in Canada? I would have guessed frozen beaver poo on stick dipped into maple syrup.

Buckwheat pancakes, topped with sorghum (or honey) and butter... along with fresh bacon and sausage on the side. Oh yeah, and a big, tall glass of milk!

[slorydn1]

Linguini topped with white clam sauce, plenty of romano cheese, and garlic bread on the side.......the best!!!! :D

Now if eating out was on the menu-then it hadda be a Big Mac, maybe 2

I can't stand Mc D's now though....

I used to gorge on them when my mom made them. Even though she was not from the region, my dad was and she had to learn how to make them :D

Thanks to some forum members for pm'ing a recipe in the past, but I still can't make them like my mom used to :(

Probably some subtle nuance that's difficult to pass on in a pm, but easy to show one-on-one. A perfect example of that would be my mom teaching my daughter how to make dumplings Saturday. The consistency has to be just right, but how do you explain that via pm? You can't hold the whisk over the bowl & say, "when the batter is like this, it's ready."

With egg-butter?

[schmenke]

With egg-butter?

Yup! :)

[DexDexter]

Fresh, warm ryemeal bread with some margarine (not butter because I didn't like the idea that it came from a cow) and a slice of cheese :D . That's still very delicious.

Even though the cheese and margarine did?

[schmenke]

Not all cheeses come from a cow, and margarine is made from hydrogenating vegitable oil.

[Brown, Jon Brow]

Might have been goats cheese or ewes milk cheese.

I wonder if you could make cheese from luxury mothers milk?

But most margarines have cows milk as an ingredient, and the vast majority of cheeses come from cows

[schmenke]

I'm no expert in the exact process, but I believe some margarines use skim milk as a liquid base, but most use water.

Anyways, damn the cow... I prefer butter :D

Rose, my youngest, eats butter with a spoon.

....and i thought i was odd for eating slices of ham by theirselves

[billiaml]

Seems normal to me :D

The cheese did, margarine was based on rapeseed oil. That's child's logic for you :)
