[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We lived in a small town far away from anything. There was one medium sized grocery store. My parents fished and hunted and had a vegetable garden. Processed food was really expensive and considered a luxury, but we did have a lot of canned vegetables. When my dad traveled for work, he'd bring McDonalds happy meals home for us from the nearest "big town" three hours away. We were so excited when the first McD's opened in our town, I was 12 and it was such a big deal to go get a milkshake with friends after school.

Anyway, the foods that I associate with childhood are:
Fresh fish, roasted whole, with canned green beans
Venison burgers
Breaded and pan-fried pork chops
[b]Broccoli with some kind of cheese sauce[/b]
Tang
Canned butter (it came in a shelf stable can and you could leave it in the cupboard for years)
Fresh baked bread
Rhubarb from the garden
Apple pie (my mom was an excellent baker)[/quote]

My mother always served broccoli with cheese sauce. And cauliflower came with browned butter. [/quote]
