Mine was PBJ and Chicken Noodle in a lunch box with milk, wife's was Grilled cheese and tomato soup. I remember Borden Resteraunts, ate chicken there alot, and Burger chef (which you can still get!). Had a similar post long ago, but it got toasted when some stuff got purged. I am bookmarking and copying this one :)

hey you two old Crackers, what were your fave childhood foods?

[Still Thinking]

I sure miss Adams sour gums, as well as their Beemans, Black Jack, and Clove Gum. As far as homemade food, moms tomato pancakes and potato pancakes are hard to beat.

While we were anything but poor, my favorites included sugar sandwiches for lunch and dried beef gravy on toast for dinner! I also liked Quisp cereal and riding my bike to the drug store to spend my meager allowance on Bub's Daddy bubblegum, pixie stix, B-B Bats,sweetarts and jawbreakers. Ah, those were the days!

My childhood delights.

Candy Cigarettes, Royal Crown cola and Scooter Pies, Boy's Life magazines, Daisy BB guns, Cheeseburgers at Oscar's Drive-in in El Cajon, CA., John Wayne showing at the local cinema, watching Combat, Gunsmoke, and Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea on TV, and my metal Rat Patrol lunch box.

Those were the days.

Owensboro, KY, 1961: We had a place called "Red Barn", where you could get 10 hamburgers for $1. Then 8, then 5, then 1 for $1. Then it was gone. Three of us could stuff our faces good for a buck.

My grandmother's fruit salad, 1957-1987. No words can adquately describe how good this stuff was.

Friday nights, 1960-62: My mother made popcorn in a skillet and burned it 8 times out of 10 (I didn't care). Then we'd watch The Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits before "reruns" was in my vocabulary.

[Yes, I'm old, too.]

I'm old too. I remember black and white television, what was color? My dad finally bought a color set in 1973. Watching Gunsmoke in color, what a treat! LOL Remembering pixi sticks, black cow suckers, sugar daddys, nickel candy bars of all kinds, someone else mentioned 7-up bars, those were really good. I remember milk at school was a penny for regular or chocolate. Remembering a show would be announced like, Bonanza, in color. Those were the days!!!!!

[goodieD]

banana Shake-A-Puddin', poached eggs on Hollywood toast, coffee with lots of CoffeeMate, Hillbilly Bread (drank with Mountain Dew when it came in the bottles with the hillbillies on the front), hot Dr. Pepper, Clark bars and Space Sticks.

[maxwell]

My mother fed us carrots. Alot of 'em. Probably explains why I got spectacles like coke bottles now, hehehe...

I reckon one of my favorite things to eat was coffee cake... With obscene amounts of brown sugar topping on it... Now I can't hardly stand to eat the damn stuff, haha...
