You have me thinking of nougat clusters.1 -
Concord grapes picked off the vine and squirted out of their skins right into my mouth.
Ripe tomatoes still warm from the sun, sliced and salted.
My mom's fried chicken. Nobody else's comes close.
My mom's homemade bread. I can make it, but it doesn't taste quite as good without mom around.

cinnamon toast!!! I'd forgotten those! And I agree who needs a recipe for that? LOL!!!
We also would eat bread with condensed milk. And sometimes, to make it even yummier, add some Nesquick on top.
Or just condensed milk straight out of the can - especially after keeping it in the fridge for a while - open - and you get a hard kind of consistency. OMG.
Too sweet now, can't handle it so well anymore!

Hot chocolate was sold for 75 cents, on cold morning, outside my middle school cafeteria. I would buy a cup just before my first class at 7:45 a.m.
I have never had any hot chocolate as good since then.7 -

At my middle school they sold hamburgers that were really thin and only came with mustard. It was rumored they had soybean content and a lot of kids wouldn't eat them because of this (1988-1989 so that was a weird new thing). They were so delicious to me. Braum's fast food/ice cream chain (local to me now) is the only place that comes close with their junior burgers, little pathetic burgers but so delicious!7 -

Hot buttered Cheerios? Do tell9 -
Ripe tomatoes, right off the vine! (I am with you @lynn_glenmont !)
Also blackberries and muscadines, right off the vine, so warm and sweet!
Cold milk, drunk after you first shook the jar to mix the cream back in.
Homemade rum ice cream!
Thin pancakes (not crepes, but not fluffy American standard pancakes) with a bit of powdered sugar and some lemon juice.
Homemade fudge.
My dad's homemade black-bottom pie!4 -
I've been thinking of a few, other threads have helped me remember.
Cheddar n' Bacon Easy Cheese on top of Ritz Crackers
Ritz cracker cheese sandwiches (the baby ones)
Squeeze It drinks
Brown sugar poptarts with butter on top
Lunchables pizza
Butter pecan ice cream (which I honestly didn't care for, but we always had it)
Fruit roll-ups
Vienna hot dogs, fried to a crisp on the grill
Those flat, square pizza slices you got at school. I loved those, idc.
Also, the milk cartons you got at school, or the juice cartons where you stabbed a straw through the foil top
That's all I can remember right now.
This was like, regular stuff too, not treats. We ate a lot of fast food too. Chicken nuggets from burger king was definitely a common meal. Same with roast beef sandwiches from arbys.

My grandma made the best homemade egg noodles and real mashed potatoes!
And chocolate pie with meringue!! I don't have much of a sweet tooth but I loved my grandma's chocolate pie!

I think it's one of those things that was a suggestion on the box of Cheerios...
Melt butter in a pan.
Add Cheerios and stir until hot and crispy.
Add salt.
You have to eat them while they are hot.
The key was to have the right ratio of butter to Cheerios so that they didn't get soggy.8 -

OH yes I think we were sisters living in the same house! haha
We ate all of that stuff too, except the Squeeze It drinks - probably because I'm older and didn't have siblings.
As for the school pizza squares...I only had that once or twice, I thought the cheese tasted weird...but my friend said her mom worked at a factory where they made it and they always had cases of it in a deep freezer.
My dad and I used to get Arby's roast beef sandwiches every time my mom was out of town for business. Every single time. And cheap Pet Ritz strawberry or chocolate pies from the freezer section that tasted like ice and little else.4 -
Homemade Cherry Mash candy was the BEST Christmas candy!4 -

I never heard of it as a kid though...I grew up in the Midwest where some of my biggest childhood favorites are Pizza Hut personal pan pepperoni pizzas (Book It! anyone?) and brown beans served with buttered cornbread and a squirt of ketchup on the beans.
oh my starts personal pan pizzas from pizza hut were the JAM!!! I STILL love pizza hut pan pizza even though it gives me the worst stomach ache!6 -

(When I went looking for a image for cinnamon toast, I found it in a recipe site. Who in the kitten needs a recipe for cinnamon toast?!? :laugh:)
Lol listen i didn't realize that some people make cinnamon toast differently! I always grew up with make the toast first then butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. BUT my husband grew up with buttering the bread and sprinkling the cinnamon and sugar on before you put it in a toaster! BLEW MY MIND!!!10 -

I dont remember those, but I am still trying to find someone who remembers these mini cinnamon rolls they made. They looked like mini cinnamon rolls but were made with oats. I was 99% sure it was quaker, but could not find it after looking for ages on google etc. They were a small snack pack with like 5 dime sized oat baked cinnamon "rolls" with icing. I used to microwave them and they were delicious!2 -

I'll help you look! I'm still searching for what i was looking for... so hard to explain but I can taste them on my tongue... very light texture. Cloudy... clusters. I think they were available in chocolate, strawberry and vanilla.1 -
