Re: Best/Worst Childhood Food

Some of the worst things I can remember include:

School egg curry

Curry with rasins in

Farmhouse pate, which looked like minced frog & I didn't dare eat

Some chicken liver pate my gran once gave me which had a similar effect on my stomach as a punch by heavyweight boxer

Most raw veg, including tomatoes

Egg sandwiches

Mouldy cheese

Salad

I always find ketchup far too sweet, so buy barbeque sauce instead

Mayonaise, can you get a chicken burger without this & lettuce on?

Most strong tasting fish, Mackrel, pilchards etc.

Tonic Water

Re: Best/Worst Childhood Food

I loved bread and dripping!

My Junior School made the best chips ever!

My brother used to love sugar sarnies! Yuk!

I used to hate stew the most, but my favourite was always my mum's roast dinner.

Re: Best/Worst Childhood Food

Couldn't be doing with Angel delight or Instant Whip (yuk) or onions in gravy. It was the way my Mum used to cut them, they used to remind me of toe nails but can eat them now (onions that is, not nails). Strawberries or anything strawberry flavoured (still can't stand either).

I used to et some weird concoctions though, Beetroot and english mustard butties (still like em today) and I used to buy a chicken and mushroom pot noodle and packet of smash, make both and mix together. Tasted much better than it looked.

My grandad was a great cook and i used to love his meat and potatoe pie with a huge crust on top. Still miss it today.

Re: Best/Worst Childhood Food

I thought sugar sarnies were bad enough, but beetroot and mustard butties branny? Your having a laugh!

Re: Best/Worst Childhood Food

Can resist the urge no longer. I know we have mustard.........

Re: Best/Worst Childhood Food

Remember trying to eat Superwhip out of the tub because it was basically whipped cream for the freezer so I figured that it deserved to be ate like a mousse. Nope.

Steak and kidney pie and chips - back before people messed with it so you tasted pepper instead of kidney.

And back in the early 90s, Sainsburys sold an own brand cereal that was chocolate coated corn flakes with marshmallow pieces. Oh baby. I was working by then, but it was like hitching up to the national grid.

Re: Best/Worst Childhood Food

as a kid I was forbidden from making my fav sarnie (had to go to my nans to do it, and hide in her pantry....hmm why does no-one have pantries anymore, I miss' em)

It was:

brown sauce, red sauce, splash of vinegar and a teaspoon of mint sauce
Squish the bread together...yummy!

Or it must have been back then, cos it sounds awful to me now

Re: Best/Worst Childhood Food

When I was 7 I used to drink cocoa & ribena in alternate sips, which almost everyone I've told considered strange.

I also like currys washed down with Dr Pepper, which my Mum & sister consider an odd combination.

[Derekflint]

Re: Best/Worst Childhood Food

Dr Pepper sounds just fine - most drinks would lose most of the enjoyable flavours if deployed against a decent curry.

Rossobantam - that sandwich is disgusting. We're talking Geneva Convention here, seriously.

Re: Best/Worst Childhood Food

Had the beetroot and mustard combination last night. Didn't taste the same though. It needs to be a decent white bread like warburtons but all we had in was some healthy eating stoneground rubbish that tasted like cardboard.
