Lately, I've been craving for some foods. I crave more on the foods I used to eat when I was still a kid like choco-peanut bars, choco fudge and other sweets. However, the taste of these foods compared before has really different taste already. Furthermore, it has a lessser amount compared to the one being sold before. Good thing I goot to find some of them in the market today.
How about you mylotters, are you craving for some foods you used have when you were a kid? What are those foods? can you still find them in the grocery or othe stores?

It is really nice to go back and remember the foods you eat from your childhood however, there are some that we cannot see in the market now especially the chips and other junk foods.

I remember those juck foods too. Some are having coins inside as freebies. I rememeber chickadees too together with chizelles, i guess. Freebies of these chips are fun toys like sticky hands and popping rubbers.
Now that most of parents are concerned with their kids health, they tried to avoid such foods for their kids.

Don't get me wrong but that really sounds weird. Perhaps there is something in cerelac that you liked and can't stop eating it.

I use to like the raviollies, but they just don't taste the same like they did years ago.

I usually end up adding seasoning to them after the first bite. Macaroni will have things added too.

Absolutly. When I`m stressed, the food I crave for is the food I ate when I was little. Mind you, not all the food. I was quite picky back the and I liked only a few things. But I stole condensated milk from the kitchen. And wanted to eat can and cans of tuna. I still like tuna, but don`t crave that. I also crave cheese empanadas. I would still eat lots of those.

Today I was at my daughter`s house and we started talking about when she was a child. It seems we all did naughty things then. She confessed (35 years too late) to some of the lies she told me then

That was a nice way of reminiscing the past. Sometimes, even how naughty it is, you will just laugh into it.

Just like you, I sometimes stole foods in the fridge like peanut butter and cheese spreads. Sometimes, I bought foods that I used to eat in packs and just stored them in the fridge or cabinet and eat them when I crave for them.

Hi,
If memory serves me right, it was chocolate. I was in my elementary days and I would pass by this store on the way to school to line my pockets with the aluminum rounded ones, like pennies in size but thicker. Eventually, my taste shifted to non-sugary foods but chocolate is still my favorite until now,although I seldom eat them due to sensitive teeth. There are times, though, I would satisfy my cravings with a bar or two from the mall when I can get the chance out of my busy schedule.

I think I know what you are describing about the chocolates covered in foils. I love those chocolates too. I think I can still some of them in the market but the tasate is really different from what is sold before.

I agree with you they cost a bit higher now and some weights are lesser too. I don't buy them every now and then though. Just when I crave for them.

Some of the items I crave can be easily bought on convenience stores and local groceries. When I geet bumped into them, I will just pick pack of it and keep in mind the store where I got it so everytime I crave again for those foods, I will just go back to that store.

When I was still a kid, I am craving for junk foods. I like junk foods a lot-oooppsss... he he Of course, I did not know that too much junk foods is bad for our health. Now I do not want junk foods because I know that too much is not good though I sometimes crave for once

When I was still a kid, I'm love to eat Pompoms, bazooka, and white rabbit. I didn't find in the groceries right now. Maybe on the sari-sari stores.

I love pompoms too. Me and my cousings will buy packs of it and crush it before eating. We love to eat them powderized. How about zebzeb, do you still remember this food? I think in groceries there are still some of this food but they have very small amount per pack unlike before.

Yup I do there are times actually. Well it makes us feel like we went back to time you know. Time is nothing for me, you can do the things you do back when you are still a kid although not all but some. I love sweets and until now I look for the chocolates I eat when I was still a little boy.

I agree with you, that is one way of reminiscing our childhood. Sometimes my wife raise her eyebrow when she found those food in the grocery basket during payment. Guess what, she loves eating those foods too and from there, we remember many things in our childhood.

Sometimes, foods done by our loved ones that already passed away makes us sentimental when we saw such food.

I do not have a sweet tooth so I do not crave fudge and chocolate bars, but I must admit to one craving and that is for a chocolate peppermint cream bar. Icannot find them in the country where I live now, but when I return to my own country I bring half a dozen of them back with me. The trouble is they do not last long.
I sometimes crave my mother's cooking, but it was the sort that is rather fattening, pastry, puddings and pies. This kind of food would make me fat now, but when I was young I did not need to worry about my weight.

Sometimes, there are some foods we crave but it was not available in our current place since they are just found in our hometown.
In contrast to you, most of the food I crave are sweets and I don't care if I gget extra pound because I just eat them once in a while.

I am not really craving for this, but I guess I am missing it. It's the Bazooka bubble gum that comes with a comic strip on its wrapper. I like how we can make really big bubbles on the gum. And it tastes so fruity that it really washes my palate whenever I ate something with a strong taste.

I also remember these gums. I think it is still available in the market but it is really hard to find or it was named different now. the size is also cut into half. I also love reading those comic strips and make very huge bubble from it. I remember that one varitey shows sponsored by these gums has a game of creating large bubbles.

Every time that i will go to the supermarket in the candy and junkfood area i'll find myself searching for that food that i am having when i was a kid but some of the store don't have them and some do have. If i found one of those food i will bought it but their is so much different now the package is small and also its ingredients and of course the taste is so much different compare to those years when we are child.

Yes most of these foods are already hard to find and you are very lucky if you can have them in your grocery. What I did is to get it when I bumped with it in the market.
I agree with you, the quantities are really smaller and the taste, there was really big difference compared to what we have when we are still kids.
