Title: What Is Your Nostalgia Food?
Post by: SpAmRaY on Sat, 11 May 2019, 13:30:16
I find certain foods bring back nostalgia of times gone by, oftentimes reminding me of certain people, places, things or events from years ago.

Anyone experience that?

Sardines and Onions on Saltine Crackers

Fishing trip with my gramps, ~30 years ago.

I remember he would bring a whole onion and slice pieces off with his pocket knife.

Navel Oranges


These always remind me of my grandmother who passed many years ago.

She always ate them in her recliner while watching soap operas.

Deep Fried Croquettes.

These are delicious and addictive,  Adults used to scare children off from eating them by saying things like, if you eat too many your wii will fall off.

They were lying of course,  because adults ate them all the time behind the younger generation's backs.

The Budget Street versions had either nothing, or a bit of  pork/glass noodle/cabbage/chives/onion/seaweed on the inside.

The EXPENSIVE versions had all that + Oyster

Beef stroganoff, sausages and sauerkraut, chicken wings, bowling alley nachos, tiny packages of movie theater twizzlers, chocolate milk, krave cereal, fudge poptarts, banana pudding, mangos, starfruit, fried catfish, blue gill, pizzahut pizza personal pan pizzas, roadside boiled peanuts, and peacock bass. Also naval oranges.  My friend's dad randomly appeared with an 80's toyota truck bed full of freshly picked navals for some reason.  I'd bet to help fund his thesis.  That was a damn good summer for us youngsters though.

boiled peanuts

 I remember my gramps would take me to a cousins farm when I was a kid and we'd get fresh peanuts out of the ground then take them home to cleanup and boil. Love me some boiled peanuts.

We also did the same thing with corn on the cob.

Oddly enough, at the time my folks were renting the house next door I was in a digging phase (probably on some anthropology/archeology kick) and found a few antique booze bottles from the prohibition era.

There were some rumors that the local springs nearby was a popular gangster hideout.. so there might have been some drug/booze running.. but well before he was born. sorry tp4

It's called Toad in the hole here in Vermont and it's delicious.

My nostalgia food is grilled cheese and it must be made with cheap ass Wonder Bread and the equally crap Kraft American cheese singles,the only decent ingredient is Cabot salted butter.
When I feel like fancifying it I use potato bread spread with garlic butter and the oldest sharp cheddar I can get.

Sunday dinner growing up was almost always roast beef (usually chuck) or roast chicken with potatoes and thick brown gravy.

These days I make braised brisket and I roast my chicken in a clay pot. The overall taste and effect is about the same, but they are more forgiving and less likely to dry out.
