I remember a lady at my dad's work who I thought of as the Twinkie lady. Her name was Lazona and she would keep a box of Twinkies in her desk. When I would come to visit the shop (it was a vending machine/cigarette vending service) she would always give me one.

That's obviously not the best food I ever had, but it was a good food memory. :-)

I used to like mustard sandwiches. That's right. Just mustard and bread. Oh, and eating powdered sugar out of the box when my parents weren't around.

[Pondman88]

Grandma's oatmeal.

Shit on a shingle.

[JennysCool]

Big old ACTUAL hamburgers and ACTUAL malts from the ACTUAL drive-in.

I miss the taste of old beef that fattened on their own. Somehow the gravy was oh so much better. Is it even possible that a lineage still exists that has not been injected along the way with the so called "good" drugs?

1 John 2 KJV:

15Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

16For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

17And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

**Food Ping** Sorry to repeat again, but I asked the mod to delete the others when my Enter key stuck. If you would like on or off the Freeper Kitchen Ping List, let me know.

Ah the list is long and could go on forever, but here are a few. Ragu spaghetti sauce, Eskimo Bars on a summer Montana day, A & W Rootbeet floats, some frozen whip cream, canned fruit and jello flavored mixture served on Thankgiving. Mom's Chocolate Chips, Mom's Cherry, Chocolate Chips, Mom's Thanksgiving stuffing with the neck and gizard--to die for! Butter!

Of course I had the metabolic rate of a race horse back then so none of it stuck to an inch of my body (except maybe to my arteries!! ),plus we were always physical in someway, unlike the children today playing computer games etc all the time

Cool Whip. I would buy a tub, bring it home and eat it with a spoon even though it was only partially thawed out. Just thinking about it now induces a craving for that sublime mixture of water, corn syrup and high fructose corn syrup, partially hydrogenated coconut and palm kernel oil, sodium caseinate, natural and artificial flavorings, xanthan and guar gums, polysorbate 80, sorbitan monostearate, and beta carotene.

Yum!.

Well, this might not have been my best memory, but...

When I was a kid, I was in my Mom's kitchen one day looking for a snack to eat. Mom kept everything pretty much out of reach, but I spotted a glass jar full of these brightly colored, foil wrapped yummies. I just knew they had to be some delicious chocolates or something equally good, so I climbed up on a chair and grabbed the jar.

Imagine my surprise when, after unwrapping a couple and hurredly stuffing them into my mouth, I suddenly realized that I had grabbed a jar of Mom's bullion cubes!

To this day, I can still taste that awful taste...aacckkk!

[najida]

The first watermelon of the summer,
New potatoes and fresh peas,
Silver queen corn-- picked, shucked and throw into boiling water, and then eaten.
My mama's fried squash.
Picking sun warmed blackberries and eating them on the spot.
Green wild plums.

My mothers parents cooked differently. My aunt was an old maid who lived with them. I would go there and stay a few days. My aunt went outside and dug up dandelion greens with a kitchen knife, she brought them in and cooked them. My grandmother made pies every day, she made pie out of different things. She made squash pie, it was very good. She made gooseberry pie which was a favorite of my father. She made suet pudding. They liked organ meats, fried brains, heart, rocky mountain oysters, and tongue. Lots of liver which I liked. They liked head cheese as well. Most of the meat was fried. My grandmother always made the best milk gravy from the pan drippings. Pie, fried meat, gravy, mashed potatoes almost every day. No one was overweight. The pie crusts were made with lard. There was fried chicken every Sunday except on very special occasions there was a beef pot roast.

You've stirred up some fond memories for me with this thread.

Being from Baltimore - my favorite memories revolve around crab feasts. Of course, I think being with family and friends makes those memories the best.

And Brimer bars (local name for vanilla ice cream on a stick covered in chocolate). Trips to the snow ball stands - peppermint was one of my favorites. Jiffy pop popcorn - that was always a treat. Peach cake from the local bakeries (I can't even find that where I live now).

My mom used to make homemade donuts - they were the best.

[A Troop 1-14 Cav]

We had a donut shop next door and when we would go catch the bus to school the little Italian gramma inside would come out with fresh, warm donuts for us, free of charge.

[cowboyway]

Fried chicken, mashed potatoes with gravy, field peas, corn on the cob, butter beans, okra, squash, sliced tomatoes with cucumbers and onions in vinegar, cornbread and a hot peach cobbler with homemade ice cream, all washed down with sweet tea.

[BlueAngel]

When I was a little girl, we had a hamburger place here in Houston, that was called Price's, they made a little burger but it had a great "secret sauce". My parents used to take us on Saturdays and we always used to talk about what the secret sauce could be.

[confederacy of dunces]

Fried green tomatoes!

Fried chicken and cream gravy!

mmmmmmmm.

Lunchtime!
