Are there any foods which bring back childhood memories?

There are a few things I remember too... this is quite thought-provoking actually. In my childhood days, we had to live on a budget. I have three siblings and my Dad was only bringing home a basic wage, working for the Gas Board, in their office. On Monday, every week, my Mum used to buy some corned beef and a tin of baked beans and make a pie from them. Cheap and easy.. and it went round. We loved it... used to look forward to Mondays. lol. I also remember my Mum wanting to give us an alternative to the run-of-the-mill bread and jam; something sweet as an alternative. Many's the time I've had sultanas and a sprinkling of brown sugar between my slices, and as a real treat... grated Cadbury's chocolate in my sandwiches. They were "special" tea time treats, which I'll never forget. :) Thank you for the memories, my friend. Brightest Blessings.

The food that brings my childhood memoiries are 1) Tomato juice - It was my nightmare. Primary school used to finish at 4pm. My mum used to wait for me when school finished with a jar of fresh tomato juice that she had made herself. I used to hate it do drink tomato juice five times a week after school finishes. 2) Fish and chips - It was my favourite food and still is. My brother and I used to count every single chips and check who has the greatest number of chips in his plate. Usually a chips war would follow. It always started by diverting my brother's attention from his plate, by telling him look's what on tv now, as soon as he diverts his eyes from his plate, I am ready to take even a small chips. this would start world war 3

Well, the food that bring back my childhood memories, pineapple chunks in milk. My mom always made that when we were young and I don't know why she liked that but I hate that. One day I told her I don't like eating that and after that she never made again. But now thinking about that food makes me think about my childhood.

I remember my childhood when I eat a certain candy called Nusita that is sold in my home country. Also when I eat a type of goat milk caramel called Cajeta. mmm,mmmm...

Foods,like butter chicken,vhicken curru and many delecious delites are there!

There are two foods that bring memories back to me: spaghetti and pizza...i am not Italian...but my mum used to make a lot of those when i was young and they had become my favourite and they are still my favourite and everytime I eat one of the two i remember something from my childhood - and the good thing is it is always something funny and cheerful :)

Mars Bars - my Dad used to do that too hun. It was a treat on a Friday night, Dad would open a Mars Bar and cut it into four pieces so that we could all share it. Even now, I remember looking forward to Friday nights, and waiting with anticipation for the chocolate treat.

Since you only had rhubarb when your father was away, my guess would be that he was allergic to it. (My brother was.)

The one thing i could not stand that my mother cooked was stewed tomatoes w/bread crumbs on top. yuck, i hated those things even tho i love tomatoes. She cooked alot of good thinds & my grandmother's did to. I could make u a list of the good things a mile long, lol.

My mother wasn't the best cook so soggy veg, sadly, reminds me of childhood dinners. I was quite fussy about veg as a child, pretty much only eating a few things because she only did a few things that were actually edible... I think hake (the fish) is the thing that really takes me back. My mother did do a good job of fish and chips and because back then hake was cheaper than cod we often had that. These days you need a second mortgage to buy hake! Other than that, I think all my good memories are from snack food and sweets which is another sad indictment, but there you go.

Ah, what memories! The good ones are my mum's home-made stew with dumplings and little fruit cakes still warm from the oven. The bad ones are Irish stew at school which was some kind of watery gravy with fatty meat, followed by stodgy cake with pink custard. Do you remember the sweets you got as a child (I think you Americans call it 'candy'!)? I remember licorice bootlaces, sherbet dabs, gob-stoppers, flying saucers and rainbow drops. Thanks for taking me back to my childhood!

Yes there is one thing that really reminds me of home when I was a child and that's mums cheese topped shepherds pie. I loved it, and I still do. I try to recreate it myself at home but it never turns out as good as mums.

I remember my childhood when I eat my grandma's Birthday noodle. It is the best. It is the favorite of our relative and friends. When It is her birthday she would cook 25 kilo's of noodles. Just for everyone to enjoy her famous Birthday noodles.

Jamoca almond fudge ice cream cake from Baskin robins! For any of the fams birthdays its the only food that was garunteed to be there.

Great memories! I would have to say that the frozen orange push pops, bologna sandwiches remind me of my best friend, that is ALL they ate at their house. Carnival french fries!

Good - split pea soup, leg of lamb, stew, mom's cookies Bad - some of the boxed mixes that mom tried out - the dried meat was pretty awful!

When I eat a dipped cone, it reminds me of when we had diary queens all over the place. If I eat catfish I think of when I would go fishing with my grandfather. I also think of when I was a boy when I eat a bowl of tomato soup.
