When I was little I really liked white rice (cooked with a 'tad of garlic and salt, as it is usual here in Brazil) and corn. Maybe some meat as well. And I was CRAZY for chocolate. I still love this combination, although now I am a vegetarian. What was your favourite food when YOU was a kid? Do you still enjoy it? ---

Chips, salty snacks of any kind. It caught up to me. ---

My mom used to make something we called “Russian Chicken” which was simply drumsticks & thighs with bottled Russian dressing poured over them and then baked. One of my favorite dinners. ---

Mashed potatoes and I still love them. Mustard sandwiches. I still love mustard (have to have different kinds for different things) but now the thought of eating just mustard on bread makes me gag. ---

My mom didn’t cook, cept on Christmas. So, my fav was the greasy, grilled cheese sandwiches at the school cafeteria. There were cheap at 15 cents. I could easily eat two. ---

Macaroni and cheese. My mom’s recipe, not the Kraft blue box. ---

Hamburgers with all the fixings. I hated ordering off the kids menu where all you got was meat and a bun. ---

Chicken Kiev with mashed potatoes and kosher style pickles on the side. Remains in my top ten favourite foods ever. ---

Campbell’s green pea soup. Not really sure why; I don’t really like it that much now. ---

When I was a kid every meal was served with white bread and butter. To this day I love piling whatever we are eating (spaghetti, beef stroganoff, spanish rice…) on a piece white bread covered in a lot of butter to the point where the butter starts melting down your hand. ---

My Mom’s fried chicken. I have tried to duplicate it but have failed. But I can match her chicken gravy though. ---

If asked then, I probably would have said pizza, though I might have already liked fresh tomatoes or dandelion salad better. It’s hard to say, though, since those are both seasonal. ---

Summer sausage, cheddar cheese, and chocolate milk. Nowadays, I have just omitted the chocolate milk. Solid dark chocolate works fine, though. ---

Icecream, pizza (especially after watching Ninja Turtles), kiwi’s, carrots, and cookies were probably on the top of the list. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-was-your-favourite-food-as-a-kid/681343.md?page=2)
