Me, too. I don't eat it *often*, but I do like it.

Tomato and mayo sandwich on soft bread.

Nachos with that fluorescent-orange nacho sauce on top

Chicken and rice casserole made with three cans of campbells cream soups

Sloppy Joe's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Plain hot dogs on a bun.

I grew out of plain and learned to doctor them up with sauerkraut, mustard,
relish, etc., after college.

Oh, man! Now I gotta have some. I like sloppy joe's so much, I sometimes
make the filling and use it for stuffed peppers - mighty tasty.

Dunno, I was never a huge fan of the Chef-boy-ar-dee stuff and am still
not. I do have it in limited cases where the need for a quick compact
and physically durable meal is needed.

Other stuff I loved as a kid and still love would be standards like
meatloaf, sloppy joes, grilled cheese w/ tomato soup, baked mac and
cheese (not fluorescent), and the like.

French toast
pancakes
scrambled eggs
(see a pattern here?)

balogna sandwich on white bread with native tomatoes and mayo
haven't had this in 3 or 4 years, but I still think of it
nearly every time I see a thick slice of tomato. Sliced
cheese is optional.

Food tastes saltier to me than it did when I was a kid, so I don't do
salt on mayo sandwiches any more, but yeah, pepper about half the time.

When I was growing up, my mom and I used to eat tomatoes like this:
Take a tomato in your hand. Bite the first small bite off. Sprinkle the
open part with salt. Eat another bite. Sprinkle with salt again. Eat
more. Etc.

Really good ****, but oy, the sodium!

Can of French cut green beans, drained, heated up with a cheddar cheese
sauce and paprika

Im tempted to try it with the really long, skinny green beans sold in
the Asian markets around here.

Even higher class when you go for your doctorate is to swap the tube
steak for grilled sliced Spam on a burger bun.

Meals I loved as a kid and still do are not necessarily bad for me,
then or now. It all depends.

fried chicken and corn on the cob, lemon meringue pie
moo goo gai pan and shrimp fried rice
spaghetti and meat sauce, garlic toast
porterhouse steak, baked potato, spinach
cha siu bao, shu mai, har gow, beef chow fun

If I were asked what I wanted for a birthday meal those were the
answers. -aem

Sheldon,

Sorry, but for as long as I shall live I ain't ever gonna eat spam.

Was spam a Navy meat staple?

Gimme peppered beef jerky and point me towards the front line.

Best,

Andy

Just a few days ago when I was shopping, I got to thinking how much I
loved it when my mom made me a Kosher salami sandwich and a bowl of
spaghettios (no meatballs) when I used to come home for lunch when I was
in elementary school. That was around 40 years ago! The next thing I
knew, I was standing at the deli counter ordering some Kosher salami. I
bought a kaiser roll and a can of spaghettios and that was my dinner
that night.

Corn fritters - my mom used to make 'em, haven't had them in years but
you've inspired me :-) My mom was a work outside the home mom who
didn't particularly like to cook, and I was a kid during the dawn of
convenience food. So we ate a LOT of rice-a-roni, hamburger helper,
etc. I always liked it when she made something that wasn't from a box.
As an adult who has never had to worry about kids to feed and who
can indulge in a dinner of Cheerios, I'm grateful to her for what she
did do, even though it wasn't always particularly to my liking. AND I
am also grateful that her disinterest is part of what inspired me to
learn how to cook. She always says she's glad to have a Julia Child
wannabe for a daughter. And she knows I'll make anything she wants, any
time.
