Which One Of Your Favorite Eats Have You Not Had In Ages?

An old fashioned ice cream soda. I have made root beer floats at home, but not the same as going out for a soda at an ice cream shop.

Calf brains....I know that may sound nasty to some, but when I was growing up, my Mom used to make up a batch of these, and they were quite tasty. Somewhere, along the line, the stores quit selling these and it's been decades since I've seen any in the stores.

My dad at those and I never even tried them. Brains & eggs- Yuck! Have you ever asked a butcher if they could get you some brains. You might get a good answer.

Pepper seed buns are hard to find in Texas not that you can't make without them.

We lived on a farm and butchered our own animals and as barbaric as it may sound, the skull was split open and the brain was removed, they are good. I always told Sweetie that is how we killed the animal. That was many moons ago and I think mostly only farm people ate them. I can't even guess how many squirrels we ate and even tho the squirrel brain was a delicacy, we never ate them. Sometimes when a squirrel is in the bird feeder I tell Sweetie that is meat for the table. Squirrel dipped in flour, lots of salt and pepper fried in lard with mashed potatoes and gravey is hard to beat if you are hungry.
 
Gramma’s pancakes

Ever time I’d go up the hill and stay at their place, she made ‘em

Rather thin
Burnt at the edges
And a bit raw in the middle

Butter melting in the center
With Karo dark syrup pushing that melting butter all over

I ate ‘em fast as she could flip ‘em on the plate

She was a logging camp cook back in her day
Ever thing she put together was fast

Oh, and her corn bread

Hot

Damn
 
Lums..hot dog.....

I can still remember the first one I had....

I don't know what happened to that chain and they still may be around but not in the south.
 
Ooh, ooh, I forgot about Detroit Coney Islands (or Lafayette Coney Islands...they were near each other on Lafayette). Tough little hot dogs with some kind of greyish gravy on top. You had a choice of mustard and/or onions on top. DON'T even think about asking for anything else. They made your mouth sing Glory Hallelujah and your stomach wonder what happened to it.

I haven't had one for over 40 years but I can remember what it was like biting into one. Heaven.

You are rare because very few people I have met ever heard of Lums. Great dogs steamed in beer and frosty mugs of beer. I would have to google them to see if they are still around. I just looked them up and they tanked in 1982. Sad.

For a couple of years you could buy a Chicago style hotdog at Sonic, and they were actually pretty good. I don't see them on the menu now, but they had the poppy-seed roll and everything.

ETA--do you live anywhere near a James Coney Island? They have the Chicago dog and several other good-looking options. http://www.jamesconeyisland.com/menus/dogs

Bingo--I make something similar to that except with fresh spinach instead of lettuce. If I have a boiled egg I chop that up on it, too.

Oh My! I haven't had that since I was about 10.. I'm pretty sure there was some sugar and vinegar on it....

We had a lettuce patch in the hills of Tennessee.......Good memories.

Sonic and JCI pulled them from the menu but you can still order one at JCI. I had a Sonic hot dog a few weeks ago only to learn they put ketchup on it!

My mom made this with endive and she added sugar and vinegar.
 
After my post about ice cream sodas, I of course was focused on having one. While out today, I bought some ice cream, milk, chocolate syrup and brought it home. Mixed it all with 7-Up rather than the carbonated water it called for. Topped it with whipped cream (Hershey's chocolate flavor) and enjoyed. It actually turned out pretty darn good. May have to make another later.
 
In the Air Force, We called that creamed chipped beef on toast, "S*it on a shingle."

But we gobbled up every crumb. It was good. I gotta look for it in the store. Yummm!

OOPS! Sorry I didn't see the other posts saying almost the same thing. Am I forgiven ?
 
I bought this packaged dried beef to make SOS once. Was OK, but kind of salty. Not sure if it is just the nature of the beef, or what. Not sure if rinsing it, or using the kind in the jar would be less salty.
