Things you grew up eating as a kid - not much seen anymore

[kballowe]

Liver & onions.
Beef tongue stew.
Kidney stew.
Neckbones & sauerkraut.

Our family had nine children, so there was always wild game and fish.

Salmon patties. I hated them. Stink up the house for a week !

Pasties are a rare treat now. I have to make them myself because the ones I can get at the local.pubs and taverns don't cut it. For a few years, I had pasties a few times a week when I was a kid. And no my parents didn't send me to work in the mines as a minor.

There is a place out here in Reno, Nv that is known for that- and still serve it.
They say it is a Basque specialty. (many Basque people settled in Nevada originally)

I do have O-negative blood. I have read the Basque people had a higher prevalence of that blood type.

I don't eat that anymore, out of concerns about prions.

Loved asparagus when I was young. Don’t eat it much anymore. Still love egggplant and radishes though.

I loved breakfast cereals into my 30's. Not necessarily the high-sugar ones like Froot Loops and the like (although those were a tasty treat), but I basically lived on cereals like Honey Nut Cheerios, Chex, Raisin Bran, Honey Bunches of Oats, and Life.

But now, in my 50's... ugh. I don't know if it's all the fiber or dairy or what, but a bowl of cereal, ANY cereal with milk in the morning will absolutely ruin my afternoon and evening.

One more thing in my life I can no longer enjoy.

Ovaltine and milk
Tang - what the astronauts drink!
Chopped Hot dog and potato hash
Fried bologna sandwiches
Fried Chicken in Crisco in an electric Skillet

English muffins with Parkay and a sprinkle of garlic salt
Jello layered in a parfait glass with Reddi Whip
Tapioca Pudding

 

[wings&wheels]

Fish sticks, this thin sliced almost bacon (forgot what it was called), lots of TV dinners. I miss pulling the foil back from that 'brownie'!

 

[Reggaemon]

Potato pancakes for no meat Fridays. Mom let me grate them.

 

[John105]

The first I like to this day, just can’t afford it.

The second I don’t like to this day, likely can afford it.

As a kid both were garbage foods. So were wings and ox tail.

 

[74DartSport]

Stewart’s sandwiches.

 

[ripcord]

GrapeNuts

 

[Allaneddie]

Mom was an excellent cook and baker and even good with quicky meals.

I've redone some of these myself:

1. Tuna on toast (roux, canned tuna, potato chips heated) covering toast (variation of chipped beef)

2. Chipped chop ham BBQ sandwiches: Anyone from the Pittsburgh area will know what I am talking about.

Things I should bring back: 1. scrapple for breakfast, 2. Her ability to bake fruit and other types of pies. etc.

My mother told me that if it's been in someone else's mouth I shouldn't put it in mine.

No childhood is complete without Euell Gibbons commercials!

My mother told me that if it's been in someone else's mouth I shouldn't put it in mine.

I like the way my college roommate put it…he said I just don’t like tasting something while it’s tasting me back..

Same roommate, asked him what’s inside the Flatiron Building? He said, “Irons.”
