I'm feeling a bit nostalgic right now because I decided on something from my childhood for breakfast this morning.
Banana on toast ...
Toast the bread, butter it, then slice the banana on there and mmmmm mmm, that's some good stuff.
Have you ever had banana on toast? Do you have any other food or treats from your childhood that you like to make, just once in a while to bring back those memories?

It is also really good if you use peanut butter on the toast and then slice up a banana! Yummy. When I was little I used to love those Sno Cones you could get at those little booths. I always got bubble gum! I have not had one of those in years.

If you like sno cones, you'd love what they have in Hawaii. They call it 'shave ice' and it's similar but I think even better.
Another good memory from the 90s, although I wasn't a child then. My kids loved them, though!

I'd have to agree with luvstochat. I'd be putting peanut butter and bananas on that toast.
And about snow cones? We have a new truck that started coming into our neighborhood - Tropical Shaved Kona Ice. It's awesome. The music isn't that tinny horrible sound that most ice cream trucks have. It's music with a Caribbean beat. And not tinny. Even the adults in our neighborhood flock to the shaved ice truck. Too bad they started coming around in August instead of June.

My wife eats peanut butter in the morning. Personally I don't care for it in the morning hours after I brush my teeth. But I love a Sno Cone every once in awhile. Especially in the heat of the summer.

I've neaver had that before. it seems like it would be good. It sounds like it would be alittle bit healthy. It sounds like it would be good with peanut butter and banna on there as well. When we were kids we used to eat cinammon toast alot.
I could make that mix because I have cinammon and sugar. It was delcious.

Yes, I've always loved the cinnamon/sugar toast and had finally made some last week after someone mentioned it here a while back.
Give the banana a shot, I'm sure you'll love it!

Oh yes, ravioli is an old favorite too. But you have to have bread and butter to sop up the juice with!

By being raised in Oklahoma we didn't eat much can foods. Our foods were from the land. Yes wild game like the beverly hillbillies. Black gold and Texas Tea. We ate things like racoons, squirrels, rabbits and possum. Even once ate an snapping turtle.

Good deal! I keep looking at the rest of the bananas on the counter and want to make two more pieces.

Well all my 'food memories' are probably why I'm not able to drop any of this extra poundage I'm carrying around!

I love cinnamon/sugar toast too, and after someone mentioned it a while back I decided to make some - yum!
I didn't grow up with biscuits and gravy but learned how to make it a few years ago (about time, huh? LOL). I make a nice sausage gravy with homemade biscuits that my husband loves.

It really is good! I don't know if it's the butter on the toast or what, but I think it adds so much to the flavor of the banana.

I've never had that, but I know a lot of people do. I still like the plain banana on butter toast.

If I liked asparagus I'm sure it would be ok, but more for lunch or a side dish probably.

I grew up with that too, as you can see from the comment just above this one.
If you like bananas at all, try it on the toast like this. It makes the banana even so much better than eating it alone.

Do you remember Chef Boyardee Meatball Stew? I was really looking forward to having some of that when I moved back to Ohio but, alas, I can no longer find it! That was great stuff!! I can make something like it but can't duplicate it exactly.

Hmmm, I don't remember that one. I like the ravioli (as stated above), but I never liked spaghettios and all that.

That sounds good but I don't care for bananas that much. When my boys were growing up I'd make them what my mom did, a man on a raft. It's a scoop of ice cream (small!) on a waffle and they loved it. I make cream of wheat, too, remembering that from cold winter mornings, with brown sugar on top. Yummy!

I like bananas ok, but there's something about the buttered toast that makes it even better. If you don't hate bananas, you'd probably like it.
Ice cream is good on just about everything, isn't it?

I have never had banana on toast but I used to always eat banana sandwiches. My mum used to make them for me as a child, and I carried on eating them well into being an adult.

Then I know you'd love it on toast. Give it a try sometime, I'm sure you'll like it.

I've never had banana on toast ... wasn't it Elvis who used to have fried banana and peanut butter sandwiches? Something I used to have when I was a child was junket - and I used to love it - but I'm not sure I would anymore. I'm not even sure you can buy it anymore, it's such an old fashioned thing!

MY favorite on a piece of very hot toast, eat it as hot as possible! is simple a good brand of peanutbutter. I can eat my heart out of it. It never bores me and its a delicious and cheap lunch! Also some drips of soyasauce on the peanutbutter or some salsa is delicious!

I never ever have tried banana on toast. This thought never came in my mind too. One of my cousin ate banana without peeling just to win from me. I had to take him to McDonalds for that and I payed. I shall try this, banana on toast. I have tried the cheese, jam, honey and butter, yougurt on toast.

I made that quite a long time ago and it's really delicious. Another treat that I like that we still make is sweetened bananas. We just cook bananas the ones that are fat and short and firm in sugar and water. It tastes good especially with ice and milk or even on its own
