In my family only my dad and I liked beets.
Hubby is making homemade mac and cheese with bacon for dinner. Daughter and nephew are not fans of his veggie curries.

Dummy steak that my dad served for breakfast.
It consisted of a thick slice of buttered bread with heated up leftover stew gravy poured over it.
Cheap, filling and delicious too.

Butterfly, we must have been separated at birth. Just thinking about my mom's ground beef, macaroni and tomato casserole makes my mouth water. Did your mom put big chunks of Velveeta in hers? That was the best part - lol - and getting the crusty corners of the casserole.
Also for me, it's a bowl of hot tomato soup with a chunk of butter floating in the middle and some buttered toast.....that was my favorite snack after coming home from school on a cold day. Still is.

Yup -- good ol' Velveeta cheese. I could eat that casserole till I was foundered. I even loved it cold, leftover.
Also used to love that tomato soup, with a grilled cheese sandwich!
Where do you find Ovaltine Falcon? I used to like the malty taste but haven't seen it in stores anywhere around here.
i had very little to eat as a child , had nothing I would call a favourite, unfortunately grew up with alcoholic parents who spent most of the money on their habits instead of the eight children .......I think that could be a reason I stock our walk in pantry / fridge / freezer so full of food

Chic, We have it in all of our grocery stores. (I'm in California).
Your profile doesn't say where YOU are, so I don't know if you're in the USA or elsewhere.
I always keep a can on hand....the chocolaty kind.

Macaroni without the cheese, but with chopped bacon and chopped Lambs liver and baby Brussels , and tomato sauce all mixed up in the pot together..
I still like that today sometimes, but I add cheese to it..
Oooh and I used to love egg in a cup... mashed egg with butter, yuuummmyy...haven't had that for many years!

I'm in New England. There used to be Ovaltine everywhere when I was a kid in the '60's but last winter when I looked everywhere for it I came up with Nada! I like the taste and will continue to search for it. Great wintertime drink when prepared hot.

OMG Kadee that is so sad. Small wonder you keep the larder well stocked now. May you never know hunger again.

I loved beef dripping left over from a Sunday roast on toast with lots of salt.
Loved sheeps brains spread on bread and grilled
Chips were always a favourite, not the American type we call crisps here, nor the French fries that McDonalds serve, but good old chunky British chips
My Gran used to fry them in butter for me, all pretty unhealthy stuff by today's standards, but I did well on itepper:

Merlin I used to make the most delicious Yorkshire Pudding you ever tasted using roast beef drippings. And I'm not even British. I like their food though. Another guilty pleasure.

Never tried it in Yorkshire Puddings chic, sounds interesting, it is good for roasting potatoes in as well, I give in to guilty pleasures these days as much as possible, enjoy the pleasure forget the guilt :cheers1:

yw My late husband told me once that, when he was a kid, his mother would make "Riddle Soup" for him to have after a day of playing out in the snow in Pennsylvania. He described it as a lumpy white thick sweet soup. I said, okay, I'll make that for you if you can tell me how she made it.
He told me from memory so I'm not sure if it's right but she would bring a mixture of white flour, sugar, and milk to a boil until it was like a thick soup (I assume she added vanilla but I followed his directions to a T). Aside, she would mix raw egg with flour and a little salt until it was various sized lumps and then drop those into the soup until cooked. He said it was "right on" but I could only imagine it turning to glue on his insides so I never made it again. I switched him over to oatmeal.

Toffee, not that it does my fillings any good!
Thank you Lara for your kind thoughts , yes many suffered hard times ,however being hungry when young taught me a good lesson on budgeting and how to make a meal with very little in the cupboard/ fridge ...Our meals consisted of bread and milk for breakfast , and fried chips and onions for our main meal.....We had a rich old uncle who would meet us on a corner near school twice a week and give us money to buy lunch . ..we thought we were the richest kids in the school on those days my favourite from the tuck shop was a tomato roll and a Boston bun ( sweet bun) I still like a tomato roll ..
You've NEVER had beef drippings in Yorkshire pudding Merlin??? I couldn't have made it without. I used to use it for Cornish Pasties too but I eat all healthy low cal stuff now which helps keep me trim and my arteries cholesteral free. That food was delicious but many of my relatives who ate that stuff continually died of cancer or heart disease. That's not for me no matter how delicious it may taste. Watching a loved one die helplessly of cancer is the most heart wrenching experience in the world.

I must try it before I die chic, although like you I avoid most unhealthy foods these days and don't really miss them, and I am sure they tasted better in my memory than reality.
Yes cancer is terrible and I have experienced enough in my own family to put me off unhealthy living, though alcohol is my downfall, but I am not a heavy drinker.

Mac/cheese is my main comfort food. My mom made the best mac and cheese! I don't eat it often but it could easily be my downfall if I didn't watch it. My husband doesn't care much for it at all which I think is odd.

Like your husband I don't care for it either, odd because I love both cheese and macaroni, but not together for some reason.
Maybe your husband is a protein eater? Mac 'N Cheese is a high carb meal.
