Favorite Childhood Foods

Jordan2 — Sun, 24 May 2020 00:57:37 GMT

Are there any foods you loved growing up you no longer eat? Growing up I loved Ebingers Blackout Cake, it was the best. I also liked Burrys Scooter Pies ( like a Moon Pie in the South), and Butoni wagon wheel pasta.

@NicksmomESQ do you remember when Drake's Funny Bones had actual peanut butter in them rather than the peanut butter cream they put in it later on?

Baking biscotti and other cookies with my mom every Saturday.

Seriously, I can smell the aroma of anise seed and Anisette right now...............

We used to also make pasta from scratch. She had some type of hand turning pasta cutter machine.

Also, for lasagna, she had a small, hand held pasta cutter with zig-zag wheel.

'Funny'.......... I love the scent of Anisette and anise. I have always kept a small dish of star anise by my bedside.

It's comforting. And it 'dawned on me', only a few years ago, why I love the scent.

Also loved Scooter pies. Buitoni pastina. In the frozen food section, either they don't make them anymore or just can't find them.......Howard Johnson's Blueberry flavored Toastees.

I had a lot of bologna sandwiches for my school lunches and at home, Mom would fix hot dogs periodically. I won't touch either one now.

Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwich - Texas style

2 sl. white bread

on a saucer, combine a heaping T of peanut butter, 1 tsp of butter, heaping tsp of jelly, and 1 tsp of honey

mix together on the saucer til creamy and smooth

spread on each slice of bread and eat open face

with a cold glass of milk

No, I do not remember Funny Bones ever being filled with REAL peanut butter. Sounds delicious. I always remember the pb cream with the dark chocolate cake and coated in the dark chocolate. Scrumptious!!!

@Jordan2 As a chubby girl for a good part of my childhood, i like this question! However i did switch to carrot sticks in my teens!

- cream cheese & jelly sandwiches

(in my lunchbag to take to school)

- green (spinach) pasta (Buitoni Popeye?)

(lunch at home on the weekend)

- Dugan Man (home delivered in his big truck in the driveway - used to come into the kitchen with his big metal tray on a handle filled with baked goods & Mom would pick something out) **frosted cupcakes (i remember the frosting being so hard, you could tap a spoon on it and it wouldn't budge, but oh boy i loved those!) P.S. Thank you, Mom, for indulging us with all our favourites!

Mine was lemon meringue pie. My mom would bake one whenever I needed a pick-me-up, or If I fell down and hurt myself on the playground, my first heartache, etc. Somehow it always made me feel better.😊

I also loved Twinkies, Ding Dongs, Orange Crush soda, Froot Loops, and and my Mom's tuna casserole. Yum!

~~~All we need is LOVE💖

@SuesCat my siblings remember the Dugan Man, I think I was very young as I don't remember him. We lived in a project, eight floors, we lived on the fourth. By the time he got to our floor ( he started on the eighth) he would sell out of the best cakes. My mother would go up several flights to buy cake when she knew he was there. No one remembers this next product, I swear it was real. I would eat Butoni Instant Pizza. It was frozen, sort of like an enclosed English Muffin with sauce and cheese inside. Now back in the day there were no toaster ovens so you put it in the toaster. The middle was always cold, but I liked it antway!

Not individual foods, but rather meals. I now make them myself.

Sauerbraten
Macaroni and cheese casserole
Poached fish
Corn beef hash
Eggs and potato pancakes
French toast

My parents didn’t keep snack foods around.
