Kid food has changed a lot since I was a kid!

I'm sure meals are different from state to state in the US and country to country around the world. When I was little in Virginia, I remember liking vanilla milkshakes, chicken croquettes, pudding cake, chili, and pancakes with maple syrup. I loved the candy necklaces and banana Popsicles on hot afternoons. I'd be playing outside with my friends, usually tag or Rover Cross Over when we'd hear the music playing from the ice cream truck driving down our street. Of course, we'd all run to our mamas to get a few coins to buy an ice cream bar before the truck drove away. When we went to my grandmother's in NC, some of us ate collards and pigs feet (though, certainly not I) and I never once tried some of my granddaddy's scrambled eggs with squirrel brains. I bet many of you ate interesting foods growing up.
