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

I lived in California for a couple yrs (1969-71) and had deep fried burritos that were to die for. Mexican food here in Ohio sux. :mad: But California pizza was terrible, so a trade-off I guess. :shrug:

My mom made donuts from scratch, I can still smell/taste them,uuumm....haven't had those in over 50 yrs. :(

Other things I sometimes crave I can get right here...White Castles maybe once a yr, hot fudge or butterscotch sundae maybe every couple yrs.

Back in the 70s a co-worker lived in a rural area and talked about giant banana splits for 50 cents made at a mom & pop ice cream shop near her house. I went to visit and we got banana splits...to die for. Ice water helped to wash it down :grin: But I'm sure the place is long gone.

Some of the best baked goods and cheese was from a roadside Amish stand, again back in the 70s. I no longer go to that area, but I doubt the little markets are still there.

Fried bologna sandwich on fresh sourdough bread with mayo...haven't made one in a long time, and I'm particular about really good tomato slices to top it with. July/August tomatoes from farmers markets are best.

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.

I haven't had Greek Gyros for a very long time. We don't have any Greek restaurants near us, only Turkish..(and they don't sell the Gyros)...

Last time I had delicious Gyros was on the Island of of Crete in Greece... several years ago...

Reminds me to get downtown while the weather is nice...the vendor trucks have gyros and brats.
Co-workers used to tease me..."ugh, how can you eat that crap?" :laugh:

There is Greek restaurant not far away, just never tried it.
 
A large extra thick vanilla shake from Dairy Queen, comes in a huge container, lasts for a couple days in the freezer...sip on or spoon out as desired. Yum! Haven't had one in more than 10 yrs.
 
Pinto beans and corn bread with a glass of buttermilk.

I also like caviar. lol

Paczki's, these are Polish donuts with powered sugar. Mamo would fix paczki's and we would put power sugar on them and eat them untill she ran out of dough. Wow a pleasant memory I have not thought of in so many years, makes tears in my eyes.
 
scalded lettuce...fresh leafy garden lettuce with spring onions...fry bacon...use hot bacon grease to scald the lettuce and onions..add bacon in pieces...yum
