[quote=Anonymous]my biggest food memories from childhood are:

coffee percolator going all day long - my parents even had a cup of coffee after dinner. my sister and i would beg for “coffee milk” which was milk with a splash of coffee.

pound cake and cut up melon somehow always being on hand to serve whenever anyone dropped by

tuna fish always in the fridge, bagels and rye bread always in the bread drawer

as another poster said, dinners were always a primary meat, with veg and starch sides. the veg was often frozen (reheated) or boiled vegetable

i also remember tv dinners seemed such a treat. as did tater tots. those were babysitter nights!

as another poster said, breakfast was rice krispies topped with a spoonful of sugar and milk

in high school, i liked to buy cafeteria lunch and would always “be healthy” and get the “salad bar,” and I put those in quotes bc the options on the bar were shredded iceberg lettuce, shredded carrots and cukes, and then a bunch of unhealthy creamy salads like macaroni salad, potato salad, cole slaw, cottage cheese (okay that one is healthy), etc. I consumed this “salad” with a diet coke- yes there was a soda machine at my high school.

i also remember lots of candy (big york peppermint patties and mounds were my favorites)- which was purchased by me on the sly with my friends at places like 7 eleven.

what i notice as such a difference between my childhood eating and my kids is that i didn’t even own a water bottle, and my kids won’t go anywhere without theirs. i guess we drank from the water fountain, we probably didn’t drink enough period. even my father who was an avid tennis player would bring a thermos of water with a disposable cup, not an individual water bottle.
