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

We used to take cans of dry Kool Aid to summer camp. Lick a finger, stick it into the can, lick off the powder. We all ran around with brightly colored index fingers all summer.

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.

Now that's just nasty.

Obviously you have never tried the powdered creamer...it's sweet & creamy fake vanilla tasting

- Pudding cooked on the stove and poured over a bowl of ice cream (Not really weird but never heard anyone else do this).

- Braunschweiger eaten out of the package with a spoon

-Grape jelly on a cheese omelet

-Saltine crackers spread with canned frosting

-Peanut butter and bacon sandwich toasted in the bacon grease on the stove

(and no, I surprisingly do not have any heart disease. yet.)

I loved drinking pickle juice. And eating pretzels with cream cheese.

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.

I make cream cheese and olive for my kids now! They love it (I still do too).

DID OUR MOMS HAVE ALL THE SAME COOKBOOK?

They probably did!

We were just served some of these at an afternoon tea in Virginia last weekend. Little sodium bombs. Nasty.

Salami and butter on white bread

My mother always buttered the white bread in our sandwiches, "to keep it from drying out." So the bologna sandwich didn't just have mustard, it had mustard & butter. The tuna or chicken salad sandwiches had mayo & butter. The PB&J had PBJ & butter. And there was my favorite, the fluffernutter & butter. Though I could have done without the butter.

I used to unwrap a boullion cube Herb Ox brand and eat it like hard candy...suck on it, spit it out, repeat. Never finished one, or chewed it, just loved the smell and taste. Basically, the little cube was my personal salt lick.

Sardines
Still like them. Did not understand why other kids were horrified that I had smashed fish on my sandwich

Sardines are good for you. Alternate with salmon.

I still like sardines with mustard sauce. I don't admit that I eat them IRL. But I do.

I also ate Milk Bones on a fairly regular basis. They weren't bad, actually. I would still eat one on a dare.

We ate a lot of food we grew and found. Poke greens are probably the ones that I still love, but don't serve my kids, because you have to boil them three times and dump the water....if you don't they are toxic. probably not great to eat a lot of those. They are delicious with bacon fat, though. I love my grandma's pickled corn, too -- she kept it in a big crock in her cellar. You skimmed off a layer of mold from the top to get the corn out of the crock. Not sure how sanitary that is as a preservation method but we never got sick.....

Butter. By itself.

Raw potatoes with salt for me too!

Where did your mom grow up? My grandmother in northern Minnesota ALWAYS did that too!!
