Food from your childhood

Not cravings as such, but for me, comfort food is plain boiled rice or spaghetti with just butter on. I think because my mum would make me that for lunch when I was a tot sometimes, I remember sitting watching Mr Ben on TV with a bowl of buttery rice. Mmmmm. Still the thing I reach for if I've had a really rough day.

Makes it hard for me though, eating rice or pasta without the butter :ohwell:

I have the opposite--something I craved as a kid but the very thought of now just makes me wince. A friend down the street introduced me to "sugar bread" when I was about 8 years old. It has 3 ingredients:

1. A slice or two of Wonder bread (just the thought of packy-tacky white bread now makes me a little queasy)
2. A HUGE slathering of margarine
3. Topped off with a heaping cup of pure white sugar.

The trick was to eat it without losing too much sugar when you bit into it. I do remember my parents forbidding it, so we would sneak it when they weren't around.

Dis-gusting! :laugh:

Mashed avocado with milk and sugar mixed into it. Sweet filipino dessert!

It's peanut butter and bacon for me. Although I do use turkey bacon now instead of pork.
