My mom was more of a frozen veg person. Actually the only story I can tell about food is... potato chips... had them three times a year. Memorial Day picnic with the parents college friends. Fourth of July picnic with the extended family and Labor Day picnic with the street families. Notice my mom NEVER bought chips.... others brought them to the picnics. Like you I was a very picky eater. Can't tell you the number of times a week - "they" would say... see you at breakfast. These days I don't eat food with ingredients I can't spell or say so all prepared food stays at the grocery.Susie Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05893377527974815997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-373996407183148608.post-22028822988909861842017-05-06T12:49:28.448-07:002017-05-06T12:49:28.448-07:00Omg, I grew up in CT, and a few find and I were ju...Omg, I grew up in CT, and a few find and I were just talking about Tree Tavern pizza the other day.

I was pretty little and thought it smelled terrible! Also remember our local mom and pop grocery offering frozen pizza samples. The latest thing!Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03527505463760502930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-373996407183148608.post-71150810375292057762017-05-05T12:03:57.184-07:002017-05-05T12:03:57.184-07:00My mom would make put canned asparagus (Walla Wall...My mom would make put canned asparagus (Walla Walla Brand, I think) and hard-boiled eggs in a cream sauce and serve it over toast. I LOVED it. Maybe I should make it just to see if it was actually that good. I'm 63 and from "small-town" Idaho.

For me it was Tombstone pizza (oy, the roof-of-mouth burns), Chun King frozen egg rolls, Chef Boyardee boxed pizza mixes (we needed two for our big family, so my sis and I had a competition who could make the best looking one), Tater Tots (they were new!), Big Macs when we could get a ride to the nearest McD's 10 miles away. And I drank my share of Tab and Fresca too. Ding-dongs, Hostess chocolate cupcakes, 1000 bars, orange Dreamsicles, push-ups. The hubs and I marvel at the fact we still have our natural teeth and normal BMIs given we ate all that stuff. Obviously, we don't anymore. We were very active though, which I think made a big difference.Paulettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06181665241824945247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-373996407183148608.post-1011043227830046552017-05-05T07:39:43.855-07:002017-05-05T07:39:43.855-07:00Yes, these are all too familiar with a lot of us. ...Yes, these are all too familiar with a lot of us. I may however be the only non vegetarian in the free world who has never had a Big Mac. I know there is still plenty of time, just no inclination.

Also hot dogs on Saturday.
