Food item you ate as a child.

My favorite as a young kid, but rarely given the opportunity to eat, was baloney, mayonnaise, with Fritos layered on top, all between two slices of white sandwich bread.

My mother rarely bought any of those ingredients because she said it was bad for you. That's probably why I craved it.

We ate oatmeal in winter, and burned toast in summer .. never could figure out the old toaster. We scraped off the burned part and ate it with butter and strawberry jam.

Didn't get into corn flakes, etc. until we moved to the city when I was 8.

It was a real treat to sleep over at a friend's house and get REAL milk (not the powered, lumpy stuff we had) and Fruit Loops. I rarely get a box of these, but when I do, it is still a treat. ;)

My Grandmother, on my Mom's side, came here from Italy about 100 years ago. She lived nearby, and made some of the best Italian food I've ever tasted....lasagna, manicotti, ravioli, etc. She passed that skill to my Mom, and we enjoyed those recipes often all during my early years.
About the closest I've had, in years, is when we make an occasional stop at an Olive Garden restaurant....but with this virus going on, it's been well over a year since we stopped there.
 
When I was around 8, we had a cat that went insane over "Tender Vittles." I just had to find out why he liked it so much, so I ate a handful. It had absolutely NO flavor at all & it was gooey. Same results when I tried Friskies Kibble.
Good thing I was older when I had a pet snake. Imagine eating a raw, live rat.......
 
Some great entries here. We drank lots of Pepsi as kids and today I drink pop maybe three times a year. As for Spam and Chef Boyardee living in a hurricane area I have eaten both in the past year and honestly the fried Spam was not that bad. They are two foods that can be eaten without heat. Hurricanes have knocked out our power in the past so you see the canned goods shelves are empty in preparation for the storms. I still love tapioca pudding.

If our next hurricane knocks out our power, I'll be sure and have plenty of canned vegetables rather than Spam!!!
 
Cucumbers, we had a big garden when I was a kid and I was allowed to eat anything except tomatoes which didn't bother me I didn't like the Tiny Tims. I loved the cucumbers, I'd peel one, slice it length ways, pepper it well and enjoy it so much. then as I got to be an adult I found I was burping the taste of cucumber for 3 days. I finally ended up absolutely hating cucumbers. That continues to this day!

We have a jar of Fluff in the cabinets at all times - my Significant Other likes a spoonful on top of her hot chocolate in the morning,

And for the record, I get a can of Spam every month or three. I like it. Sorta.
