Foods you ate growing up that most folks don't eat today

Obesity wasn't a problem in those days...

I was thinner back then, come to think of it.

Saltine cracker. Slice of cheese. Slice of tomato. Sardine on top. Have some olives and pickled eggs with it. Fit for a king.

Limburger and onion on rye with mustard.

I had an uncle (by marriage) who liked chicken feet. One thing about it, nobody ever tried to eat his favorite piece of chicken. My grandmother's favorite piece was the back, in fact that was the only piece she would eat...according to my Mother. She apparently never had to fight anyone for her favorite piece either.

I personally like the gizzard.

My brother and I would fight over the gizzard, heart, liver but not the back he got all he wanted.

I like liver occasionally. What I get from 1 pig is enough for the year. I don't think that my pigs would even eat lima beans.


We used to eat oyster stew growing up, at the time it was a bit of a treat. I've tried making it a couple of times but it isn't the same.

There is a restaurant in Portland OR named "The Oyster Bar", they make the best oyster stew . . . we go there at times when we are in Portland.

Love oyster stew. If you like liver, buy calf's liver and soak in in milk overnight. Takes all of the bad smell and taste out of it. Makes a big difference...works on fish also.

2Lane, I have always loved liver & onions . . .

That is creative.

We used to have grits and gravy, grits and eggs, grits and ham, grits and cheese, grits and bacon and grits and fried fish. Once, several years ago I got a mild craving for something or other with grits. There were no grits around and the craving soon went away.

Egg yolk & sugar
You separate the yolk out from the white
raw
Put in on/in a spoon
Sprinkle sugar over it

idk my mom would give this to me every once in a while
she was born during the war in France and lived there during post-war scarcity, this may have affected her consideration of "this is good stuff"

To be honest it's tasty
The other day I had a raw yolk (sans sucre) just randomly decided to eat one while separating eggs for a different recipe and it made me think of that childhood treat
