solascriptura Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Just made homemade rice crispy treats. I made the weekly or twice a week as a kid. Gag! Oh, little Debbie cakes, Beef a roni, Spaghetti Os, the list can go on. I should stop trying them again so the fond memories remain. :P 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMamaBird Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 When I was little my Mom used to heat up Cream of Chicken Soup and put little bits of cut up white bread in it for my lunch. I remember eating it fairly often but now the thought of it sort of grosses me out! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Margarine. I grew up on the stuff and the first time I tried butter I didn't like it. But I eventually switched and I've been using butter for decades now. The last time I tried margarine it was too salty and ... I dunno, greasy? There's not much else, I guess. I grew up on Spam but don't eat it anymore. Except that when we went to Hawaii this summer I had a Spam musubi and I still liked it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnnE-girl Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Ramen noodles, although I did buy some a few weeks ago for something different for lunch. This taco casserole my mom used to make with canned 'cheese' soup and Doritos. Spaghetti Os with meatballs were a staple for after a night out in college. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanaqui Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 My mother used to make grilled cheeses with cheez whiz. I wouldn't touch it now, though sometimes I wake at night dreaming of the stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umsami Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I still like Spaghettios, although most times I make a "homemade" version from a kids cookbook I got years ago. I used to eat the canned Chef Boyardee Spaghetti straight from the can in college....but I can't do that now. It's too mushy. A lot of foods taste way too sweet to me now....Lucky Charms, Rice Krispie treats, etc. Although I'll eat a small bit if offered some. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Vienna sausages (the kind in a little can)! I used to love those nasty things in my lunch in middle school. SpaghettiOs. I was never a huge fan, but liked them OK. Now I refuse to eat anything pretending to be pasta out of a can. Yuck. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Girls' Mom Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Spaghettios with meatballs. I craved them SOOO badly with my oldest dd. They are so gross now. Miracle Whip. My mother never bought real mayo. In fact, I had never really had any until I was an adult. Now I don't think I could eat Miracle Whip if I tried. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEmama Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Cocoa Puffs. We used to get one box of junk cereal a year (per kid, we all chose our own and no one was allowed to touch anyone else's), always in summertime. The memory is of late mornings, endless lazy summer days, and my brother eating his entire cherished box of Lucky Charms in one fell swoop, every. Single.year. :) 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kewb Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 (edited) TV dinners. My mom was not one for processed anything when I was growing up in the 70's. Super treat when she would buy TV dinners. Every once in a blue moon we would get chef boyardee ravioli in the can.

Bluegoat Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Canned spaghetti and related products Cheeze Whiz There are some others I liked and still feel affectionate toward, though I rarely buy them or make them. Cream of mushroom soup made into pork chop sauce, Lipton chicken noodle soup, and canned ham sandwiches with little pickles cut up. Also fried bologna with kraft dinner. I recognize these all as slightly gross and unhealthy but they create considerable nostalgia when I occasionally have them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busymama7 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Twinkies. I thought they were so yummy and then excluded them when we started having kids and cleaned up our diet.

Mbelle Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I still love this! Funny story..I took a boyfriend to my Grandparents house to pick up something and they said well we are just having cornbread and milk for supper but why don't y'all stay. This boyfriend was from California. He had no idea the cornbread was going IN the milk. LOL He ate it without a word.

Cinder Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 spaghetti sandwiches - My parents showed us how to put spaghetti (made with ground beef) on bread and eat it like a sandwich. Was it just the sauce--like sloppy joes--or noodles too? My mom talked of eating sardine sandwiches and pork-n-bean sandwiches when she was growing up but that wasn't something we ever ate as kids. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
