Original Post by theholla:

1. Kasha varnishkes
2. Tofu stirfry w/brown rice
3. Carob Edensoy (blech)
4. Blintzes
5. Dried papaya sticks

Ahh....nothing like having Jewish hippy parents!

 Okay, that had me rolling in the aisles!

1. I also remember Bisquick pancakes with Log Cabin syrup! Guess that dates me, too!
2. Goldenrod eggs: hard-boiled egg whites in a white sauce or sausage gravy with the crumbled yolks sprinkled on top ... you could practically hear your arteries harden. (It's still a family tradition for Christmas and Easter mornings ... especially since it gives you a way to get rid of all those &@$#% Easter eggs!)
3. Pot roast! The perfect Sunday dinner.
4. SOS: Hamburger in white sauce over toast ... my father was one of the few ex-servicemen (career Air Force) that actually liked it. (The polite version of what SOS stands for is "Stuff on a Shingle".)
5. Corned beef and cabbage (cooked in beer) on St. Patrick's Day ... not, to my disappointment, an authentic Irish dinner.

I could go on ... Count Chocula and Frankenberry (who remembers Boo-Berry?), beef stroganoff, chicken adobo (a recipe my mother learned in the Philippines), katsudon (my favorite Japanese dish), tomato soup with cheese and crackers and a grilled cheese sandwich (still perfect for a cold winter's lunch), meat loaf sandwiches, jackburgers (Monterey Jack cheese, bacon and either plain avocado or guacamole), McBLTs (alas, it's been near a quarter-century since that was on the menu), fried chicken and root beer from A&W, Shasta cream soda (we used to buy it by the case for family picnics) ... and I still have the occasional PBJ, even at 45!

1) Baked potatoes and tuna mayo with sweetcorn

2) Marmite sandwiches - just bread, butter, and marmite

3) Calypo ice lollies

4) Chocolate bars - 1 a day keeps the dieticien away (if your a cf patient lol)

5) Macaroni cheese made by my sister and me!

I didn't eat red meat/pork between the age of about 6 and 10, so I don't have the classic roast beef memories lol!

1.  Tuna noodle casserole

2.  Nehi Chocolate pop (think Yoohoo but 1000 times better)

3.  Mom's homemade cinnamon rolls

4.  Peanut butter and potato chip sandwiches

5.  Veggies fresh from grandpa's garden (we would just go pick them and maybe rinse them off before we ate them)

Okay, I'm a Yank (albeit one pretty familiar with British lingo) ... what's marmite?

I know what iced lollies are. As soon as I read it, I realized I'd forgotten to add "bomb pops" -- red, white and blue popsicles shaped like missiles we bought from people driving Chevy vans with dry-ice freezers and a bell on the roof. (In fact, one of my first jobs after high school was driving such a truck! Yes, folks, I was a "ding-ding man"!) I also forgot to add macaroni and cheese, which my dad baked from scratch, and which we still prefer to the blue box.

Hm... top five? Well here are a few in no particular order.

1. Kraft Macoroni and Cheese (I sware the "shaped" ones tasted better) with beef hot dogs on wheat bread.
2. My mom's beef stroganoff served with egg noodles and peas from a can. Hahah.
3. My grandma's cinnamon french toast with REAL maple syrup.
4. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with Cheetos and a chocolate chip cookie in my lunchbox. :)
5. Going out to any restaurant and ordering chicken and fries.

1. my grandmother's fresh, made entirely from scratch pasta (which my brother and I sometimes helped her make, although we'd get bored of rolling out the dough and go watch tv)

2. special K absolutely coated with honey because that was the only thing my mother would let me put on it to give it more flavour

3. Flinstone's chewable vitamins, which my mother informed us had the side effect of making you act silly for three minutes.

4. seafood salad every holiday

5. sweet buns fresh from the bakery

My mom's cobler (2 cans of pie filling toppped with a box of yellow cake mix, butter, and walnuts, then baked)
