Title: Favorite childhood meal you'll never outgrow?
Post by: MaronaPossessed on March 10, 2013, 04:52:26 PM
I figured we could share our meals we had as a child, but never get tired of when you are grown up.

Mine? Tomato Basil soup with grilled cheese >w<

Chicken and dumplings. Or as I mistook the last part, at age three "ducklings".  :shocked:

Quickly got over my shock and it's one of my favorite meals to this day.

For me its a toss up between fish finger sandwiches (on thick white bread with plenty of tomato ketchup) or smoked fish (the yellowy coloured stuff) with bread and butter.  Sadly fresh smoked fish is expensive so I have to get frozen nowadays :(  but its still quite tasty!!

Fried chicken strips with ketchup. Loved it as a kid, love it even more as an adult.

Mac n' cheese would be another one. Ate it a lot as a kid and still do.

To be fully honest, I have yet to outgrow childhood meals! I prefer the grilled cheese, French toast, Spaghettios, chicken fingers and macaroni and cheese over what a 16 year old normally would want to eat. I don't remember the last time I didn't order off of a children's menu! A lot of my friends (and teachers) laugh at me for that!  :lol:

My favourite childhood meal is won ton soup and fried rice from the local Chinese restaurant... it was always a treat then, and it still is now. ^.^  Follow it up with a May West snacky cake and a bottle (glass bottle, mind) of cream soda... wow, it's suddenly 1979 in my head! :lol:  Oh, I'm old... :rofl:

Fish sticks with macaroni and cheese!
BUT the macaroni and cheese has to be made with Velveeta and be kinda cheesy so I can dip my fish sticks in it. >.>

<.<

My secret's out.

My ultimate comfort food is definitely grilled cheese and tomato soup, but right after it would be my dad's "double decker pie."

You take ground beef and mix bread crumbs, an egg, onion flakes, and tomato juice together with your hands. (It just doesn't get mixed very well if you use anything but your hands.) Pat the mixture down on a casserole dish, then on top of that add a layer of rice, and on top of that add a layer of frozen broccoli. Cover the broccoli with slices of cheese, then bake and enjoy the deliciousness.

It's phenomenal, but I'm a vegetarian these days and have been making it with vegan ground beef from Wal Mart. (I can never remember the brand name.) It's not quite as good since the "beef" doesn't have the same properties as actual beef, but it's close enough and it's still enjoyable. :)

Omigosh, Rachel-Eyes, my mum used to make that!!  It's been years... and her version (she called it Country Pie) had minced green peppers and onions in with the meat crust, then skipped the broccoli... but the meaty crust and cheesy-and-ricey goodness... mmmmm...!  Thank you so much for reminding me of this! :hug:  I'm going to have to dig out her recipe and whip it up for my son - he just doesn't know what he's missing! ^.^

Really? That's super cool, Sugar! I know that my dad got it from a cookbook, so it's not like it's an old family secret or anything. I like that variation though. Green peppers are yummy! :dribble: Definitely make that for your son!

I think mac n cheese since it's usually considered kids food.

Gotta be the spirals though. Shapes are fine too. They don't get mushy like the regular noodles.

I'm happy to see a couple of your guys saying Chicken McNuggets with the HONEY ("You mean honey mustard?"  "No, just plain honey." --- I have this conversation exchange at least every other time I order Chicken McNuggets, lol).

The food I eat as a kid is the exact same as I eat now (which probably isn't good for me, oops)... cheese pizza, toasted ravioli, butter noodles, and naturally - as the majority seems to dictate - macoroni and cheese.

Oh! When I told people in my family I used to eat chicken nuggets with honey, they thought it was weird. But it makes a great sweet/salty combo. I should try it again.

Another one that I just remembered are Lunchable pizzas! I get them every now and then to remind me of being a kid. I just always loved the flatness of the pizza crackers, and cheese. Anything with cheese is always good with me! :cheese:

This is sort of hard since I was extremely picky as a child. I refused most foods.

Still there is something I still like a lot and eat regularly that I have loved since childhood; spaghetti bolognese and macaroni casserole (I think that's what it's called in English)

I also like fish fingers, but I eat them very rarely nowadays, I used to love them a lot and eat them all the time when I was little.

Rice congee soup... apparently I was still exclusively eating this "baby food" at the age of 3-4.
Home-made chicken soup
"Macaroni soup"... elbow macaroni in a soup with home-made meatballs and tomatoes
Ramen (I use my own broth)

LOL Looking at my list made me realize I like "soupy" foods.

well the real way would be ice cream and milk in a blender until its all smooth, my grandpa just puts icecream in a cup and pours milk on it and its not stirred up at all.

Well, since discovering I am gluten sensitive, a lot of my childhood foods are no longer something I can really eat.

However, I still love spaghetti and I have found a gluten-free pasta that works for me.  :)
