Foods lost in your Childhood?

As much as I love peanut butter and chocolate, I never developed much of a taste for Nutella. Somehow spreading chocolate on bread was weird to me.

Now peanut butter I have at least once/day. I grew up on creamy Jif but now it has the texture of Crisco or something. I've grown into the chunky all-natural kind you have to stir up - unsalted and no sugar.


Cheers,

RR

Nutella. I love how they sell the stuff as healthy and nutritious. Chuckle. INGREDIENTS: SUGAR, PALM OIL, HAZELNUTS, SKIM MILK, COCOA...several chemicals for flavor and so it will last 50 years, etc. Check out what’s in a tub of ready made frosting: Sugar, Water, Palm Oil, Corn Syrup, Corn Starch, Cocoa + chemicals. Pretty close match!

Have you tried Nutella on a crepe? I happen to hate fluffy pancakes, so I make crepes when I want a pancake (use the same recipe for waffles as well). A smear of Nutella on a crepe and roll it up...sublime.

Nutella wasn't always made with a bunch of crap like it is now. Palm Oil...if you can avoid it, do avoid it. It's the worst for you of all oils. Also the cheapest, which is why they use it in everything these days. And those "natural" peanut butters that you don't have to stir? Their ingredients are: peanuts, sugar, palm oil, salt. The palm oil is the emulsifier so you don't have to stir. If a peanut butter is more than peanuts and salt, I'm not interested, but I'm very snooty about my peanut butter. I'm willing to spend the extra money and do the stirring. *but I am willing to eat a bit of Nutella on a crepe once or twice a year.

And you don't even need bread.  A flour tortilla is a great substitute (learned in my backpacking days).  The Mission Extra Soft flour tortillas (fajita size) is a top pick.

Can eat peanut butter and tortillas everyday, my wife thinks it's weird what I'll wrap anything in a tortilla.

I grew up eating Skippy Super Chunk peanut butter because my little brother had had the nickname "Skippy" since he was knee high to a grasshopper and was a bit chunky as a kid, so my parents went with the Super Chuck peanut butter as a *** at him :lol!:

No I haven't. But then again making crepes is not something that I do at home. In any event the overall taste of Nutella isn't exactly high on my list. YMMV of course.

We all like what we like and one man's pleasure is another man's poison. I have no soap box. And here's a bunny with a pancake on it's head-

I agree on the peanut butter and tortillas

Nutella and tortillas are pretty good too

MRE Jalapeño cheese spread and MRE tortillas...

 

[D.L.Ruth]

MRE Jalapeño cheese spread and MRE tortillas...

Oh no sir ohhh noooo. The regular cheese maybe, the Jalapeño cheese is awful

I'll try and find you some though

 

[peanubutter]

I'm not a fan of Nutella either. But tortilla wraps, or crepes, are a canvas for a variety of things daily. Breakfast burrito or a jalapeno cream cheese and ham with green onions rolled up and cut in to pinwheels.

Peanut butter melted and drizzled over ice cream is awesome.

I was a fan of the Nub cigars and that is how my username came about.

 

[History Prof 1861]

Yes breakfast burritos are the way to go!

I’m good on the MRE cheese spread and tortillas! Hence my mention! :lol!:

Things my mom made from scratch I’ve never been able to duplicate...

1.  Apple Pie
2.  Grape Jelly (Ahhh, the aroma!)
3.  Chili & Cornbread
4.  Chocolate Chip Cookies w Virginia Peanuts
5.  Creme de Menthe Brownies (dark brownies with some blend of cooked marshmallow Creme and real Creme de menthe spread like a frosting on top...cooled then flooded with a dark chocolate top that set up hard.  Insanely delicious!  Special occasions only.)
6.  Leg of Lamb w mint jelly.  Then diced up w curry gravy over rice the next night.
7.  Pork Spare Ribs roasted with Sauerkraut.  No bbq sauce.  
8.  Ice Cream Cake.  In an Angie food cake pan put 4-5 flavors of sherbet using a melon baller. Put it in the freezer.  Melt regular vanilla ice cream in a pan, add some kind of flavoring (rum?) and chopped peanuts or pecans stir up well then pour the mix over the sherbet balls so it’s all filled in.  Refreeze.  Later, take it out of the pan and ‘frost’ it with sweetened whipped cream.  Refreeze. Cut it like a layer cake...beautiful with all the colors.

Quick...get me to the hospital!

And: as an addendum I’ll add those big pans of square yeast rolls the glorious cooks at Jennings Lodge Elementary used to make...plus the whipped butter.  

There.  That should make you weep.

One special treat my Mom would make occasionally when I was a kid would be something like this -

In a square baking pan, layer graham cracker crumbs on the bottom. I think she may have added some melted butter to this as a binder first. It was then pressed as flat as possible to a thickness of 1/4" or so.

Next was a thick layer of sweetened shredded coconut, say about 3/4" thick.

Finally there was a thick layer of melted semi-sweet chocolate poured over the top. She would also make a version with melted caramel.

This would then go into the fridge to set up before cutting into squares. I think she called it crunch bars.

I've tried to make it several times but it always came up short of my expectations, and I never really knew how she made it. In any case I rarely eat sweets anymore.


Cheers,

RR

Mmm homemade apple pie...with cheese

Mecca wafers were a favorite candy

 

[Blackhorse]

BD - my mom was Norwegian.  She had sisters...LOTS of sisters.  They all made incredible stuff out of milk, butter and sugar.  Oh man...the Christmas cookies!  Spritz cookies!  Sandbakkels!  Ginger Molassas!

But they all had about fifty variations on what they simply called “bars”.  Your things sound exactly the same.  Incredible.

And here DL, this is for you.  Still available.

Mom also made this incredible bundt cake that had a layer of brown sugar and chopped walnuts or pecans in the center. I have that recipe somewhere and remember making it a few times for myself many years ago and it's the same one I remember from my childhood. These days I'm far too lazy to put this together but will post it if I can find it.

[Blackhorse]

That would be great!

We should do a thread of classic “mom” recipes.

My mom made a chicken rice casserole with white sauce and slivered almonds on top. Company only. Made yer eyes roll back.

 

[History Prof 1861]

My great grandmother made broccoli salad that is sadly missed...

 

[peanubutter]

I remember my dad making sour dough pancakes once a month from a starter that he probably kept for a decade or more. Those were pretty darn tasty.

 

[RSteve]

My mother died when I was nine-years-old. A few years after her death, my father remarried. The new wife thought she could cook, but most of what she ever made was cooked into inedible. I'm more thankful that some food was lost in my childhood. One example, which makes me laugh, now. In Jr. H.S. I opened my lunch bag to discover a sandwich of dark pumpernickel bread filled with sardines in mustard sauce, lettuce, and one huge slice of raw onion, My locker smelled for days. Thankfully, I had paper route money with me and bought two SOS sandwiches.

Truth be known, now, 60+ years later, I rather enjoy sardines in mustard sauce with a Maalox chaser.

We all like what we like and one man's pleasure is another man's poison. I have no soap box. And here's a bunny with a pancake on it's head-
