Which reminds me. Cut and serve sugar cookies. I can eat quite a few. At least I usually wait until they are baked, but if I’m the one baking them, I underbake them.
It’s easy for me to separate the Oreo filling from the Oreo cookiess. Nutter Butter filling is more difficult to separate. Still going to eat them, even if I can’t successfully separate the cookie from the filling.
I still occasionally eat my childhood night before footy dinner from when I was 12. Theory was, being as skinny as a rake, do some loading the night before playing U14’s footy. I cooked it myself then, mum thought I was nuts.
basically assemble this.
2 slices of white buttered toast
2 fried burger patties on the toast.
Top the burger patties with cheese slices
Tip a heated tin of baked beans over top
Place 1 fried egg, runny yolk on top as a garnish.
Believe me, they don’t have time to dry out. I especially like the “Pull & Peel” variety, except I rarely Pull & Peel them. I just take a big chomp out of the whole wad.
There are similar candies I also enjoy. Wiley Wallabys are great. There’s just something about that soft, sweet, chewy texture.
Nice to know there are so many Twizzler fans out there.
Yeah, when I lived as an expat in Hungary in the 90s and 00s, Kraft Mac & Cheese was like gold to the Americans. Anytime one of us would go back to the States, we’d bring back half a suitcase full of Kraft Mac & Cheese, and the other half cartons of American cigarettes. (I can’t believe I actually managed to quit smoking in that environment.)
My store has a particular fudgesicle that comes 12 in a box. I eat a box within a couple of hours. I can only eat a box every other day. To have a box a day would require going to the store everyday, which is a no, or buy multiple boxes, the problem being I wouldn’t be able to stop eating them.
Chef Boyardee ravioli I can still eat now. I don’t do it often - but I crack a can every other year or three for the nostalgia. When I do I must eat them accompanied by the original nacho cheese doritos for that double-junk food goodness. The why of that tradition/compulsion is lost to the misty memories of my youth.
SpaghettiOs, I cannot. You’d think they’d be about the same thing and that’s how I remembered them from my youth. But as I found out after I tried both after a many-year hiatus, they’re very much not. SpaghettiOs are wayyyy sweeter for one and it’s not like Chef Boyardee is lacking in the sweetness department.
I indulge in my childhood treat once in a great while: white bread and butter, sprinkled with lots of sugar and cinnamon. I suspect it was a thing my mom gave us when we had no dessert in the house, and I’ve since seen online that it’s considered a white trash treat.
“White trash,” my ass! I do sugar and cinnamon on buttered toast all the time, especially for breakfast. Still working on the perfect ratio of S to C to B. Only been 55 years; I’ll keep you posted.
Huge support for the Chef’s ravioli in this thread. I’m beginning to think the ingredients should be checked for something addictive. I had no idea the stuff was that popular but I think I may need to pick up a can and try it again for the first time in decades.
SpaghettiOs just suck. Way more of that weird sauce in it, the stuff is practically a liquid.
