    Whatever my Mom put on the table was delicious. Oh the memories.

    When my dad was too lazy to cook anything, he'd take a baguette, smear laughing cow cheese on it, sprinkle on some sugar, then toasted it in the oven and gave that to me for lunch. Hardly nutritional but tasted like heaven...

    My mum used to make banana sandwiches if we were in a rush to get out the house! It's carbs on carbs but I guess there are worse things in the world...

    Grilled cheese with pickles and ranch dressing. American cheese is a must!

    I second the fluffernutters!!! Or a pb&j with crushed chips in the middle!!!
    I use to love the pop Big Red. I found a shop that carried them a while back and couldn't even make it past 1 drink.

    I grew up in France... My favorite meals were some frozen onion burgers and mashed potatoes/carrots mixed with ground beef. Or just pasta with tomato sauce (not pasta sauce... good plain tomato sauce).

    And mashed potatoes with deli ham.

    Spaghettios with cut up hot dogs. Shudder! That was my "go to meal" for years. My Mom was not much of a cook. No fond memories of home cooked food from her. She was always on a crazy diet, and fed me something out of a can.

    Ooh, yes. On white bread, with butter, and sprinkled with sugar?

    Breaded and fried scallops and haddock, with creamed potatoes, corn, and carrots. It was so buttery and rich and my dad made it the best.

    My godmother used to make my toast, or my bread with both butter, and peanut butter. If it is bread with a meal, then it must be folded in half.

    That's the way I still make it to this day, and everyone looks at me like I'm some sort of weirdo.

    Also, oxtail soup out of a can, with a dollop of mashed potatoes in it.

    I would still do this, if I was going to eat toast or a PB sandwich. It's a big part of how I gained weight, and why I don't have toast very often these days! Probably would be about 200 calories, just in butter.

    It might be dangerous to even type these things out! Mac and cheese with spam, grilled velveeta sandwiches, bologna sandwiches on soft white bread...it's been many, many years and will be many, many more!

    Tater Tot Sandwiches. Frozen tater tots heated in microwave, with untoasted white bread, mayo and ketchup. I don't think I could eat one again though

    My mom is from the Philippines, so a lot of my tastes are weird things I inherited from her. Spam, either fried crispy in a sandwich, or with a big pile of white rice. Eaten with this Filipino banana ketchup called Mafran. Eggs, scrambled with tomatoes and green onions, with fish sauce. Chocolate rice porridge for breakfast. Any "hard" fresh fruit, like apples, pears, nectarines, diced up and covered with vinegar and lots of salt.

    Peanut butter and banana sandwiches. Mmmmm

    Peanut butter and strawberry jelly on Ritz crackers

    I still love both, but don't eat them that often.

    Potato chip sandwich. White bread (Wonder Bread, accept no substitutes), ketchup, yellow mustard, and Lay's or Ruffles. Something about the soft and the crunchy.

    Anything Hostess. Twinkies, Ho-Hos, the cupcakes with the white squiggly, all of it. I have been very sad the last few years to discover the creamy white wonder inside doesn't taste good to me anymore.

    Peanut butter and jelly on matzah. But I still eat that. :)
