Any childhood foods, + and -, that stick out?

+ Lemon Ice, a.k.a. Italian Ice -- reminds me of summer night-time drives in New Jersey with the family, just for the heck of it. Eventually we'd stop and get lemon ice somewhere. (Gas was like 15 cents a gallon at the time!)

- Bread Pudding -- reminds me of my detested grandfather and his wife, unhappy times and nasty food.

Popsicles, dreamsicles, fudgesicles and occasionally drumsticks from old
Mr. Nick, the ice cream truck man... and running into the house to ask
for a nickel as soon as we heard the music at the bottom of our hill.

Old Nick, the ice cream man.

Here's what I'm picturing:

Am I close?

Edit - Speaking of the ice cream man. I miss Bomb Pops. I don't think they're called "Bomb Pops" anymore. Maybe "Diversity Pops" or "Lovecicles" or something.

Close on yours truly but not even close on Mr. Nick. 🙂

A pretty regular routine when I was younger (I'm still a 'kid' for another month, but now I just eat whatever), consisting of Turkey, Chicken, Fish (which I couldn't and can't eat), Meat Loaf, Spaghetti, Spaghetti Pie, Pizza (Sunday Lunch only), and Tuna Casserole.

And pot roast, of course.

Still a kid too, GS. Used to subtract 20. Now divide by 2... Joshua's Caleb (in his 80's) set the precedent, fighting as if half his age and

taking out the giants. So, take heart... calendar, mental, emotional, spiritual, overall maturity, etc., ages are all different and changing.

Baked apple, cored and stuffed with sultanas and golden syrup, served hot with custard or ice cream. 🙂

The mashed swede and roast parsnips served with school meals used to make me puke every time, but now I love all veg (except celery).
