There was a bakery down the street by the convenience store and instead of buying gum and candy I used to buy cream horns and hide them in my closet so I wouldn't have to share. Between rice crispy treats, hot buttered O's, and these it's amazing I didn't have a weight problem until I was an adult! I was so sad when the bakery closed.0

Fresh quick pickled Achar ... Raw or half ripe mangoes or pawpaw.

Pacific island chestnuts.

My sister and I were always tasked to dehusk swampland asparagus. We would munch on these babies as we worked through the bundles prior to either or both of our parents cooking it. We preferred ours raw, much to our parents dismay. ROFL.

Missing Dipawali celebrations in the islands this weekend. Invitations are flowing in from our friends and family friends to have our mum attend in our stead or for our family. It used to be easy to send Diwali treats abroad like they'd done before ... Not anymore and Dipawali in the US SUCKS!! 😥
Nothing beats large claypot fireworks tended to by the fathers and big brothers (we all perceived ourselves as siblings as our parents friendships were moreso one of kinship than mere friendship). Fireworks wars or the official kite flying battles the day before between homes hoping to kadem neighbours' kites to crown the neighbourhood best flyer. Ahhhhhh! ... Watching all the homes lit up like Christmas and how each family preserves and observes their customs.
* Vegan curries
* Assorted Indian flatbread both fried or on the tawa griddles.
* MILK BARFI my absolute favourite.
* Gulab jamun, Pacific Indian diaspora style ... Little bullets of delicious sugary milky goodness.
* Mangoes
* Mango lassi3 -

My 10 year old memories in NZ and chunky chocolate chip cookies revolved around these cookies which were almost as large as a 10 year olds head. They were cookies often sold as fundraiser cookies often hawked by some school team or choir or orchestra thinking to raise funds for something. I would buy out boxes of these and resell them in the boarding house with hot cocoa (extra charge) on Saturday nights. ROFL ... No matter the private school environment, my grandparents government projects neighborhood hustle was still cocooning inside me. Their cravings, my $$$.

One of my single digit childhood cookie memories ... Aussie melting moments homebaked cookie sandwiches. An islander mum who had married a white Australian divorced and returned to the islands with her children. She kept our cookie jars stocked with these sinfully delicious morsels as her way to pay for my parent's tutoring her daughters, so they could win scholarships and grants to Aussie universities. She was also the lady who had baked the Disney princess cake my sister won at the local high school fundraiser. We almost didn't want to eat it, it was so beautiful & realistic.

This is more a childhood memory of a METHOD of cooking...we had one of these Farberware indoor grills and my Dad would cook all kinds of stuff on it. My favorite was teriyaki chicken legs.

Chicken and Dumplings made with mom's biscuit dough. Fresh strawberry short cake with real whipped cream.1

We had a similar one of these too! I don't have fond memories of it though because my mom would overcook steak on it and my dad would overcook hamburgers on it. I hated hamburgers as a kid but what I didn't realize is that I only hated dry, overcooked, one-step-up-from-charcoal hamburgers.1 -
Every once and a while i crave dry well done sirloin with lots of A1 steak sauce from my childhood. If you are like me and prefer your steaks med rare and juicy, you really can't appreciate A1 because it just drips right off a perfect juicy steak. You need that dry over cooked steak to soak up the A1.1

My mom wasn’t a great cook. She gave all of us kids something similar for Christmas one year. I was only about 16. It was the first time I learned to make meat that wasn’t dry as shoe leather. We all had them for years, and bought replacements when they finally gave up. And we were all good meat cooks.

Wow.. the mention of A1 just brought back memories of my dad's breaded/fried steak cutlets. One of my favorite things after school when I was a kid!0 -
Mine childhood foods are now my comfort food. I’m from UK.
Corned Beef Hash: tinned corned beef, mash potato, mash carrots, tinned garden peas, cheese, sliced tomato, HP brown sauce. My version contains non-traditional items (carrots & peas) but I did this once as a child in cookery class to sneak veggies in a meal and done it this way ever since.
Fish fingers, potato waffles, beans: easy ingredients but it’s all about the presentation....in a bowl mashed together and eaten with a small spoon - heaven
Heinz cream of tomato soup with a cheese sandwich: so the cheese sandwich is key here. I have progressed to grated cheddar now (how high brow of me), but as a kid I used dairylea cheese spread and it’s wonderful to dunk the cheese butty into the scalding hot soup3 -
A weird childhood flavor to enjoy, but I remember sorrel soup. We only had sorrel seasonally, and the season didn't last long so it was special. Green almonds and green chickpeas, too, for the same reasons.
A more "normal" flavor of childhood: I had white bread, with a sprinkle of granulated sugar in a bowl, then milk is carefully poured in as to not completely dissolve the sugar. The bread was creamy, the sugar was crunchy, and the milk was.. well, milk, I love milk. A similar one was biscotti crushed into a bowl then tea poured on top and eaten with a spoon.2 -
Chocobananas! 😋

A cup of beans, using a sausage as a spoon. It's like a savoury 99.1
