What was the weirdest thing you liked to eat growing up?

Tuna Yuk- Kraft macaroni and cheese with a can of tuna

Three Cheese Hamburger Helper. LOVED IT. Tried it again a few years ago and couldn't believe how bad it was.

Sandwiches made of mayonnaise and Colby cheese

Maybe we should all read this list when we're complaining about our kids' diets!!

Liverwurst sandwiches on Roman Meal bread. Makes me sick to think about it now.

I also loved Spam and AuGratin potatoes ala Mom's Wednesday Night casserole.

Pudding pops!!!!

Peanut butter (out of the 10 lb barrel fom my mom's food coop), ketchup & imitation bacon bits on white. Hmmm-hmmm good.

Some of these are just awful! Wonder what our kids will say when they're older? My mom used to feed us kale smoothies and make us snack on sheets of seaweed

Something about it was like crack to my siblings and me -- we would scrape some off with our fingers whenever mom wasn't looking (she thought it was filthy -- it probably was!). It had this sweet metallic tang. I swear I can still remember the taste.

This one takes the prize. It is even grosser than silkworm larvae although I knew a kid who is now the head selectman of a chi chi New England town that used to put live meal worms in his cartridge pen barrel and then snack on a few when he was hungry.

Maybe add yellow mustard and potato chips. Not kidding. It was actually quite tasty!

I'm the olive sandwich PP and my mom also did peanut butter and pickles. Also peanut butter and bacon, which sounds much better these days.

Mine was pb and cheese.

My mom would take canned pears (halved) and put a dollop of mayo in the indentation and top with cheddar cheese. I thought it was the bomb! I am grossed out just thinking about it now.

Toast with peanut butter and bacon was a favorite breakfast. I still love it!

I also liked cream cheese and olive sandwiches. I think I would still eat one if someone made it for me.

Spinach. Man, I loved spinach.

There was a story about a kid in our circle who liked milk-bones with pepperoni and cheese on them, heated in the microwave. But I don't recall ever actually seeing him eat one.

Pickle and pimento loaf, or olive loaf, on squishy Wonder bread with tons of mayo. Barf. But I loved it back then.

Why did everyone love baloney back then? That's what P and P loaf was, baloney with stuff in it. Ew.

We moved to Georgia from Massachusetts when I was nine (1979) because of my dad's job. I still remember a lot of kids had banana and mayonnaise sandwiches (on white bread, of course) in their lunchboxes. Gross! Also, a lot of Georgians would float peanuts in their coke... "goobers with Co Cola," they called it. Yucky. Not to mention all the grits and greasy biscuits.

We only lasted three years down there, then had to move back up north. We were Yankees and had to get the hell out of there.

My brother and our neighbor used to eat Ballpark hotdogs straight out of the freezer. Used to totally gross me out (and now I'm wondering why our neighbors kept a giant stash of hotdogs in their freezer)

I grew up in the South. We ate peanut butter,mayo,bananas on white bread. I still eat the PB & Banana but on whole wheat now minus the mayo. My Dad would put peanuts in his DR. Pepper-I never understood why but I remember a lot of people mixing the two. Now, don't hate on the biscuits

Butter and sugar on wonder bread.

Creamora on a spoon. I would watch sat morning cartoons with the jar of creamora and a spoon. Lick the spoon, dip in the creamora and lick the powder off, and repeat.
