What was your favorite food as a child?

Do you still like it now?

My favorite was dressing smothered in gravy at Thanksgiving time….I would eat a whole plate of dressing, and another plate with turkey and all the trimmings. I still love it, but not in the same quantities.

That was always my favorite part of the thanksgiving meal as well. @bowman81

Mashed potatoes with my grandmother's white chicken gravy...and watermelon...and my mother couldn't cook worth a darn but she could bake, and once a year she made these little pecan ball cookies rolled in powdered sugar while they were still hot. I used to love those.

I don't ever eat that gravy now, because I don't really eat fried chicken, and you need the crispins and bacon fat to make her gravy, and real cream, which I can't eat, but I still like mashed potatoes made without dairy products...and I still love watermelon.

I know that feeling of not being able to eat all those things we use to. @4meAndyou

@rjc36 Yeah. My grandfather was a farmer, and a chain smoker, and he ate bacon and fried foods and bacon fat and cream and lived to age 93...😂. But you know, I don't work on a farm, and I would soon be as tubby as one of my female cousins used to be if I ate the same diet.
Spaghetti
And yes.

@RogueLoner well that's a great photo.
I look the same as I did a few years ago, too. Of course if you dont count the many, many more age lines (the, in denial, way of saying wrinkles). Been wearing the same few pairs of old jeans for twenty plus years.
Anyway....I always make a huge pot of sauce and freeze it. Always on hand:)

Fried chicken, yes I do but have to make it gluten-free now
rjc36 · 61-69, M
Was it cooked in an old cast iron skillet when you were young?@cherokeepatti
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@rjc36 Yes cause we lived on a farm. And I still have that same heavy cast iron skillet that I cook it in.

Farley's rusks... Either dry or with warm milk.

Not had them in probably 50 years now lol

@SW-User apparently. Regional tastes.

@Carla and rules. Many USA additives not permitted on EU /UK
Carla · 61-69, F
@SW-User very true. Food here is sketchy. One has to be diligent when selecting what to consume

Lobster Bisque w/ truffles.
Carla · 61-69, F
@SW-User where'd you grow up? I didnt have lobster bisque till I was in my twenties. And truffles even later.
Anyway.....YUM!!!

@Carla California

@SW-User ahhh. That makes sense.
I grew up in rural michigan. Not many lobsters around in those days:)

Those little hostess cherry pies. I know they were horrible but so good, I thought lol.
@Summerbreeze45 I remember wanting those so badly when I was a kid. It seemed like everyone but me got to take them in their lunch.
rjc36 · 61-69, M
I remember those as a child being a treat every once in a while. @Summerbreeze45
MarineBob · 56-60, M
Didn't matter. We ate what was fixed
rjc36 · 61-69, M
That was the way it was in my house as well. But there were some foods we liked better than others. @MarineBob
My mother’s beef stew.
rjc36 · 61-69, M
Sounds yummy. @TheSirfurryanimalWales
Fish n chips.
Still love it !
