Did anyone else used to eat the cresent/biscuit dough raw?? Lolll
I'd never heard or seen cookie dough or butter dough been eaten raw until I came to the US. Raw veggies, yes. Raw flour plus plus pre-baking, never.

So much nostalgia here! These posts have reminded me of these:
Vienna sausages, homemade Chex mix (planning to make this soon!), cinnamon toast, English muffin pizzas, soybean school burgers
I also remember: Golden Grahams, grape nuts mixed into yogurt, Godfather’s pizza, hard butterscotch candies, hot chicken salad casserole, dump cake, and our family had this special breakfast thing where we would take hot biscuits and dip them into a whipped up mixture of light Karo syrup and cold margarine—so bad but so good!! Candies—those chalky little edible cigarettes, dinosaur egg jawbreakers, Nerds, Tiny Tarts (Tart n Tinies?), Tangy Taffy
I’m sure there are more...3 -

This is the first time I've really wanted an air fryer! Those look awesome. I'm half Slovak and pierogis were also a regular meal growing up.0 -

You can make these in a pan with a drop of oil or oil spray.
You can make them in the oven, same idea.

Anybody remember Ribbon Candy, my mom always had some out during the holidays. I believe they still make it. No wonder I always had so many cavities as a kid.

I always get a craving for plain Pillsbury crescents around the holidays. I never had the dough raw but I actually like the taste the best a day or two after when the rolls are cold Right from the fridge. I think because that’s how I used to eat them as a kid lol.0 -

It is such a texture thing for me when I eat dough. I love the texture of it, so it doesn't matter as much the taste.0 -

Yes! It's like a spongey/elastic texture... marshmallowy0 -

Also, we had fondues too

My grocery store sells the bigger (and smaller) ones year round... I can't be trusted around a bag. I'll polish it off!

my Grandmother's homemade pecan rolls (she made these on special occassions only)--hers looked (tasted) 100 times better than these though--but these are close to what they looked like:
Dixie cup Popsicles:
Kool-aid:
Juices and other stuff:

Mashed Potatoes. My mother was not a good cook, but we always had mashed potatoes (Irish), so us kids would bury everything in mashed potatoes in order to get it down. LOL3

We called those ice blocks. Made them with our Dad on Saturdays after farmers market shopping when we would process seafood and fruits would be cut up and boiled up to be stored for juice for the week. Both fresh filtered, pulpy and boiled were added to paper cups for ice block treats for us and our friends to consume after playing Cops n robbers or WW2 reenactments. Lol. If mangoes are aplenty, then a creamsicle type Indian recipe is frozen. Yum! ! We used paper or plastic cups as Dixie wasn't our availed brand.0 -

My technique with most island seafood dishes. I would often mash yucca or taro(dasheen) to bury the fish. I hated fish as a child.1 -

I don't remember the cup art but the top and product, yep! I got this only 1-2 times from the ice cream truck but loved it.
@seltzermint555
This was the brand sold in all Pacific island tuckshops in the 60's to 80's. Treats were phased out in the 90s to the present by the governments in favour of real cooked food.
I especially enjoyed this with traditional bhuja mix. Now realise that the flavour was too sweet for my palate even then, where I'd needed to qualify it as a savoury ice cream by adding the snack blend.1 -

Soursop. My mum's dad had two trees which canopied the family hangi to filter out the smoke when the earth oven was lit. We would perch ourselves on branches and nosh on these, staying out of harms way, yet still involved in the prep for a special occasion or just a normal Sunday lunch. Or we would De-seed, use a stone mortar n pestle to turn into a thick pulp and drink it down. Yum!
Ate Soursop ice cream made Keto-style 2 days ago. Surprised I didn't cry.
I miss soursop jam so so much at seeing that image ... with a fresh loaf, generously buttered plus freshly brewed homemade chai tea OMG.2 -
These remind me of my Granny when we'd camp every summer...She would make these in her camper (PB cornflake cookies)

Ok so this is VERY off topic but your package of hot chocolate mix made me think of it and i can't not share now. Anyway, so my best friend's boss is a geologist and a major chocoholic. Both are equally relevant to the story trust me.
So she used to sometimes just eat straight hot chocolate mix like in powder form if she didn't have any other source of chocolate around. One day she was working and got a craving so she spied a little pile of powder on the corner of her desk and scooped it up and ate it. It was then that she realized that the powder on her desk wasn't hot chocolate mix but was ACTUALLY DIRT. GIRL ATE STRAIGHT UP DIRT THINKING IT WAS CHOCOLATE.
I ate Milo granules mixed with dried fortified buttermilk powder by the spoonful as a child. Think that started before we were taught to serve ourselves from the thermos my Dad would prep for us. My sister could reach the milo and buttermilk powder, whereupon she would serve our wee cups with the correct measurements, where the hot water was the hurdle, until THERMOS. Pre-kindie.
:laugh: Our childhood memories. Your account has me thinking that I can't for the life of me, ID what the hot beverage drinking bowl many of us would drink from when amongst relatives in the villages, not that that was how we enjoyed our milo from the usual universally recognised mug.1
