What was your favorite food when you were a kid
My favorite food was space sticks and pizza that you put in a toaster.

I get cravings for both products but they are no longer around.

4. I remember space sticks!
During that same time period somebody was manufacturing bacon flavored peanut butter, and I still get cravings for that once in awhile. I don't think it was ever my 'favorite' food, but I liked it!

19. Yes!! I remember Space Sticks!

So few people remember those! I sure do. I loved them. You know, you can buy peanutbutter-flavored "Balance" bars that taste a lot like them.

Here's to the good old days.

8. Honey Combs cereal.
I'd eat it all day long if there were enough. Cap'n Crunch, Sugar Pops, Frosted Flakes, and any number of others as well, but Honey Comb was first choice.

53. Me too
Actually, any kind of noodle. My mother never really bought snack food, so we used to cook up noodles and eat them w/ butter for a snack.

(And yes, I'm overweight! lol)

32. I got hooked early on in childhood...something about them just makes my
sense of taste go wild. We're having them for dinner tomorrow night in fact. My partner is bringing his 84 year old mom home for a couple of weeks and she loves them too. Luckily, there's a kick-ass takeout seafood place about two block away.

As an adult, I've branched out and now I love ALL forms of shellfish-lobster, crab, mussels, crawfish, shrimp, oysters, clams, conch, and whatever else I've left out.

14. Yellow squash
At age 11 I once ordered a second serving of sauteed yellow squash instead of dessert in a restaurant. I think my parents were seriously concerned about my mental health.

33. Okay, so
My mother used to make what she called spanish rice. It was rice and ground beef mixed together in some type of tomato sauce. The best thing was that we put parmesan cheese on top of it. Oh why God did she stop making it that way?

My other favorite was jujubees which they have changed the flavor of. You can still find them but they aren't the same. ;(

41. Mama loved the Spanish rice.
It's not just you.

For me we had/have a fast food place called Bob's. I loved the plain hamburgers with cheese and nothing else. You had to order them as "plain,plain" or they would put this nasty sauce on them. It was the shittiest food but it was good as a kid. Now I barf when I eat it. I Hope this is a Eugene Oregon thing. Well, I hope we haven't littered the countryside with Bob's.

48. Same Here
Growing up Catholic in the '50s and '60s, we had mac & cheese quite often on Fridays (when we couldn't eat meat). Mom used to make it with whole milk and real American cheese, with cheese slices on the top that formed a crust.

Yum!!! :9

59. Growing up unreligious in the 90s....
I could have mac and cheese whenever I whined for it. On my birthdays (up until I was 8) I would have a choice of going to any resturant and everytime I wanted mac and cheese with steak. I am convinced it is the greatest combo of food ever to this day.

49. Macaroni and cheese will ALWAYS be my favorite food!
I could eat it every day and never get sick of it. I also loved my mom's apple, chocolate and lemon meringue pies and her potato soup. She put celery seed in that soup, and it was lovely. Wish she'd written down the recipe, because I certainly can't replicate it.
