Food item you ate as a child.

Oh yeah, I remember Ovaltine! Forgot about that one.

My father made my lunches for school and he put Postum in my thermos because he knew how much I loved coffee. It is a wheat bran and molasses coffee alternative and a boy sitting near me told the lunchroom monitor that I had coffee and I got in trouble. She would not believe me that it was not coffee!
 
  • Sugary cereals.
  • Spam or any canned meat product, including corned beef hash.
  • Twinkies or any Hostess Foods'/Debbie's et. al. pkg'ed dessert that lasts infinitely.
  • Velveeta or American cheese.
  • American donuts of any kind, by any company.
Oddly, I seem to be slightly allergic to shellfish and even most seafood now. I adored the stuff growing up, and no problems all the way into my 50's. But then I noticed I wanted less and less of any shellfish - they still tasted good, but after 2 or 3 shrimps it was like, "Well, that was enough; I don't really want to eat any more of that right now."

Then it got to be fish, too. I still love salmon, but only want it once in a great while. Spouse is happy; I leave it all for him!

But I can still knock off a half-ounce of caviar on my own with no trouble, LOL......

Wow. I can’t imagine eating that. There’re lots of brands here that don’t have any meat in them. I wouldn’t eat them either now.

Cheese Whiz, though it’s not that long ago I gave it up.

That Cheese Whiz is nasty stuff. I would not eat it either.

There was always hot Ovaltine for breakfast when I was a little guy. Now, I don’t care for it at all. Also, cooked on the stove hot oatmeal. Very seldom buy that too. If I do, it’s that instant stuff.

Oh I loved porridge (hot oatmeal) when I was a kid, and still like it now..I hate the instant stuff, when I make porridge it's always from scratch

A quick google search didn’t list any meat in canned spaghetti. Was it one brand that you liked that had it?

I like Chef Boyardee. Our local supermarket often has sales on Chef's canned pasta. I mostly buy the ravioli, sometimes the beefaroni. When I started to get a can of spaghetti and meatballs, I read the label (like I must do with all items) and it showed that the spaghetti contains beef and pork.
