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.

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.

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.
