Freeper Kitchen: Share Your Food Memories

[HungarianGypsy]

I was reading Reminisce Magazine yesterday. For some reason that magazine always makes me hungry. So, what were the best foods you remember as a kid?

[HungarianGypsy]

I remember a lady at my dad's work who I thought of as the Twinkie lady. Her name was Lazona and she would keep a box of Twinkies in her desk. When I would come to visit the shop (it was a vending machine/cigarette vending service) she would always give me one.

[HungarianGypsy]

That's obviously not the best food I ever had, but it was a good food memory. :-)

I used to like mustard sandwiches. That's right. Just mustard and bread. Oh, and eating powdered sugar out of the box when my parents weren't around.

Grandma's oatmeal.

[Andy from Beaverton]

Shit on a shingle.

[JennysCool]

Big old ACTUAL hamburgers and ACTUAL malts from the ACTUAL drive-in.

[Gay State Conservative]

Shit on a shingle.

The first time this boy from the suburbs of Boston saw "chipped beef on toast",grits or chewin' tobacco was at Fort Knox,KY back in '69.

I miss the taste of old beef that fattened on their own. Somehow the gravy was oh so much better. Is it even possible that a lineage still exists that has not been injected along the way with the so called "good" drugs?

[HungarianGypsy]

There is a restaurant in my area that has the biggest hamburgers, thick onion rings, and a "mini" shake that is humongous. It's the nightmare for the food police and very yummy.

1 John 2 KJV:

15Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

16For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

17And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

**Food Ping** Sorry to repeat again, but I asked the mod to delete the others when my Enter key stuck. If you would like on or off the Freeper Kitchen Ping List, let me know.

Ah the list is long and could go on forever, but here are a few. Ragu spaghetti sauce, Eskimo Bars on a summer Montana day, A & W Rootbeet floats, some frozen whip cream, canned fruit and jello flavored mixture served on Thankgiving. Mom's Chocolate Chips, Mom's Cherry, Chocolate Chips, Mom's Thanksgiving stuffing with the neck and gizard--to die for! Butter!

Of course I had the metabolic rate of a race horse back then so none of it stuck to an inch of my body (except maybe to my arteries!! ),plus we were always physical in someway, unlike the children today playing computer games etc all the time

Cool Whip. I would buy a tub, bring it home and eat it with a spoon even though it was only partially thawed out. Just thinking about it now induces a craving for that sublime mixture of water, corn syrup and high fructose corn syrup, partially hydrogenated coconut and palm kernel oil, sodium caseinate, natural and artificial flavorings, xanthan and guar gums, polysorbate 80, sorbitan monostearate, and beta carotene.

Yum!.

"chipped beef on toast"

I think John Stossel needs to do a piece on this. There is a misconception that CBonT is shit on a shingle, when it is in fact 'creamed foreskins on toast,' which is what it looks like. SOS is hamburger and tomato sauce with chunks of cooked tomato on toast which looks like shit on a shingle.

[GOP Poet]

Amen to that!

[reagan_fanatic]

Well, this might not have been my best memory, but...

When I was a kid, I was in my Mom's kitchen one day looking for a snack to eat. Mom kept everything pretty much out of reach, but I spotted a glass jar full of these brightly colored, foil wrapped yummies. I just knew they had to be some delicious chocolates or something equally good, so I climbed up on a chair and grabbed the jar.

Imagine my surprise when, after unwrapping a couple and hurredly stuffing them into my mouth, I suddenly realized that I had grabbed a jar of Mom's bullion cubes!

To this day, I can still taste that awful taste...aacckkk!

a tub of tomatoes from the garden - still warm from the sun with a salt shaker in my hand

Jesus would have loved Mom's delicious rice.
