Strange crap you ate as a kid....

My tongue involuntarily curled when I read dry lemonade mix
Tiny cans of deviled ham spread on toast. Had to be when I was very little.

We are bananas dipped in dry kool aid powder.

Sooooooo good. Now I want one.
But kool aid mix isn't the same anymore. You can only get the little packets instead of the big pouches that were ready to just mix with water. Doesn't taste the same.

I'm the kid that took cans of sardines in her lunchbox.  I also lived in a pink house.  My childhood was . . . difficult.

cream cheese sandwiches. sometimes just cream cheese and bread...sometimes we added jelly.

tuna burgers. (a can of tuna, an egg and some seasonings formed into a patty, fried in a little oil and dipped in loads of ketsup)

Butter. Just butter (like a small pat, not a whole stick). Actually, it was probably margarine, either way.....wtf was I thinking.

White bread, a thick layer of butter, liberally coated with sugar, then top with another slice of bread. Yikes. How'd I ever eat that.

And I lived in a pink house too. That might not be odd in some places, but this was in Indiana. ( Now everyone sing John Cougar Mellencamps "Little Pink Houses". Ha. But my house was pink way before that song. My mom was a trend setter. LOL)

You can still get it that way in a plastic canister to make it by the glass. 

I ate ketchup sandwiches too! But I had to have the ketchup on a hamburger bun. The thought disgusts me now!

My favorite lunchbox sandwich was summer sausage on white bread with ketchup. Makes me gag to think about now. I loved braunschweiger (liverwurst) and pickled herring on crackers, but we only had them when my paternal grandparents were coming to visit.

I also ate a lot of jello "salads" that would be considered weird now, but that wasn't so much a personal preference as a byproduct of growing up in the midwest in the 70s.

For a treat my dad used to let us have a bowl of Milo (which is a chocolate and malt powder that you mix with milk or hot water). Not so much strange I guess, but we always felt naughty - he'd only let us have it when mum was out.

For dessert I used to have Coco Pops (which I think you call Coco Krispies in the US?) with tinned apricots and whipped cream.

My brother used to eat jam, cheese and Vegemite on toast.

A favorite in the school ground was Twisties or potato chips / crisps in a buttered bread roll.

The best one: I once ate a worm sandwich as a dare, when I was about 14yo.   It was just after a friend and I had read the book “How to Eat Fried Worms”.

Dry Maple and Brown Sugar Quaker Oatmeal in the packets. I used to dump it in a bowl and eat the powdery mix of sugar, salt and stuff first, then the plain oatmeal. Weird, but sooo good!

ETA: Thought of another one. My mom used to make pimiento cream cheese that we would eat spread on Ritz crackers. I haven't thought of that in forever and now I kind of wish I knew how she made it!

Raw pizza/bread dough (still do - every time I make a loaf of bread or homemade pizza crust I have to taste a pinch).

DH's mom made (and still makes) sandwiches with cold, ground up hot dogs with relish and mayo - yuck!

French fry sandwiches -- white bread, french fries, salt, smoosh. Delicious!

My favorite meal when I was 7 was fried Spam slices, creamed corn, and canned biscuits.

When I was 15 and an aide/dishwasher at camp, all the 15-year-old aides and dishwashers dared each other to eat weird stuff. My favorite combo ended up coining the hilarious riff on a commercial that was popular at that time, "I just ate Oreos and hot sauce -- kiss me, I got the Signal!"

I ate those same sandwiches on white bread of course.
