Things you ate as a kid that you no longer eat.

So, what do you have?

Share a little about preparation if you remember.

Bologna sandwiches. Before packaged bologna. The meat counter guy would slice and pack in butcher paper. cut a single line in three places, which would open up making a wedge as the bologna cooked in the skillet. Serve on white bread with mayo, or mustard or both and a few rings of onion. Can't tell you how many of these we had as lunch.

Orange koolaid the drink of preference with our bologna sandwich

Sausage and onion omelet. Country sausage cooked as a patty, then crumbled up in the omelet with slivers of onion. Second choice was a bacon and onion omelet. The sausage was better. We always had a slice of skillet buttered toast with our omelet. Mom made great biscuits, but we were city kids and usually asked for skillet buttered toast. Biscuits were a Granny Cooksey's house in Isola, Mississippi treat.

Thin sliced, fried pork chops for breakfast

Saucered coffee. My grandmother would pour a little hot coffee (almost white with cream and sugar) on her saucer and the blow across it gently until cool enough for her to drink She was almost always willing to share a little with a grandkid.

Vienna sausage, liver and potted meat. I loved all three as a kid, and you won't see me go anywhere near this now

Kraft mac & cheese. My favorite thing ever as a kid. Now I feel guilty about carbs. Sad face.

We had liver almost once a week. Mom would only buy calf liver. Never pork. It was her health food way of providing iron to "keep our blood built up". I think she and dad just liked it was the real reason.

Floured and fried, then simmered for an hour or two in brown gravy with onions. Served with rice or mashed potatoes.

I hated it and then one night decided I liked it.
I still like it, just hardly ever eat it,

Horse


In my earliest Army days, we had the old canned "C" rations. They were circa 1950 C rations, warehoused for many years and then shipped to us by some military genius guy to get rid of them. Occasionally, you would get a can of Horse roast. My memory is that you were hungry and it was OK stuff.

Used to prepare this along with a hotdog daily after school while I listened to the sweet sound of 28.8 dialing up so I could hop on AIM and holler at the honeys.

Sometimes I would substitute ecto cooler with Tang.

Broccoli. Used to eat it raw with dip, roasted, steamed, about anyway you could cook it. Then when I was about 19, it started causing me the most awful stomach cramps. Can't even touch the stuff anymore.

Hamburger patties with brown gravy and onions. Second the bologna sandwiches. Also bologna with crackers and cheese (even though maybe once or twice a year I end up eating some).

My funny story. I loved liver as a kid; it was literally my favorite thing to eat. I was 4-5 going to nursery school, and the lady who ran the school decided to cook liver for everyone as a favor for me. In doing so she told all the kids it was pork or something of the sort.

The moment I sat down to eat I noticed what it was and shouted out "Liver, my favorite! Thank you Ms Jerry!"

She had to make a bunch of grilled cheese after that and sent me home with a ton of leftovers.

Is that what they call hamburger steak in Kentucky?

I used to tear up the Chef Boyardee Ravioli and Beefaroni. I think the last time I've eaten that since childhood was probably during hurricanes.

I guess so.

It's not to be confused with chicken fried steak though. It was literally just a hamburger patty that was fried in the skillet with gravy and onion on top.

Hell I ate everything listed above (with exception being BK Nuggets) and still do. Not a lot I gave up on unless whoever prepared it died and didn't leave me the recipe.

These two come to mind:




Also most cereals, chips, soft drinks, chain pizza, fast food, cookies, and all the other junk food that I lost the taste for or my metabolism can no longer keep up with.

Once you get passed the fact that they both come from a cow I don't know how you could confuse the two.
