I really liked lebanon bologna with mayonnaise on white bread for my lunch sandwich. The bread would get slightly soggy with mayo by the time it was lunch but I loved it. I don't really like mayo that much anymore and rarely eat sausage, I don't think I could handle the two together, especially on semi soggy white bread.
-
Deviled ham on white toast. It was a total guilty pleasure, but the idea repulses me, now.
-
@Deerylou; Woah! That was going to be my answer, too! I got sick eating it once, and that forever cured me. My reasoning now is that if you have to use a key to open the can, there is a reason that sh** is locked up in there. Do not eat it.
-
Fast and/or fried food. I didn't eat it often as a kid, but when I did I had no issues. Now if I tried to eat it I'd be in the bathroom all night.
Also, Oscar Meyer bologna and American cheese on white bread with mayo AND mustard.
Chips, cookies, and soda as lunch...
-
@deerylou: @Mrs. Twine: I had to look up what deviled ham was but it looks like ham paste with spices?
-
Chicken feet dim sum!
-
@Maysprout; I'm not really sure what it is, honestly. As a kid, the repressed Catholic in me was drawn to the little cavorting red devil on the side of the can. And, okay, probably also to the insanely high sodium content. I remember it being yummy, and also kinda repulsive.
-
@Maysprout: same here!!! I can't eat bologna or white bread or mayo anymore. Eww. I had a slice of American cheese on mine though (which come to think of it, I haven't had that in awhile either).
Lunchables
Pop-tarts
Koolaid (seriously? It has a cup or two of sugar in each pitcher)I still eat junk food but those are things I literally can't bring to my lips anymore. They used to be my FAVORITE things in the universe.
-
I used to eat vienna sausages straight out of the can. They completely gross me out now - I can't believe my mom let me eat them. Now I think they look like tiny penises . So disgusting.
-
@owlmom: Oh man, I loved those things when I was young!
Most sweet things really. I have never been too into sweets, but as I have aged, I just can't handle it. A single hershey's kiss can make me feel sick.
-
@owlmom: me too!! i was obsessed with them as a kid and used to steal them out of my earthquake packs. the thought of eating them grosses me out now.
-
American cheese (like Kraft singles), Lunchables, and Totinos pizza.
-
Vienna sausages- just tried some with my toddler the other day... yuck!
Lunchables gross me out these days too.
I used to eat McDonald's fairly frequently as a kid, I haven't felt good after I eating it as an adult- so I haven't had it since 2004.
Some things I love by my digestive system doesn't love me back when I eat them- Coldstone Creamery and Salmon (not together!). Sad, sad me
-
Frosted Flakes - a giant bowl of crispy sugar! I love sweet things but just thinking about Frosted Flakes makes my teeth hurt.
-
@TurtleDoves: I still get Hi-C orange at McD's. it makes me miss ecto-cooler so much!
-
Runny eggs. Apparently, it was my fave thing for breakfast. I can't stand eggs cooked any other way but over hard or scrambled and it can't be runny at all. Eating eggs sunny side up just repulses me!
-
Vienna sausages, potted meat & sardines. Nope, no way I could eat those now.
-
Fish sticks. So disgusting.
-
Those TV dinners in the blue box - that came with a little brownie!
I still love lunchables, lol
-
bologna...the thought of it grosses me out, now
-
Cinnabon! I worked in the mall as a teen and ate one every day I worked. So gross!
-
I have no idea why, but as a kid, I LOVED these frozen yam patties they would serve at the daycare my parents owned. They were these weird, totally circular patties and the daycare cook would put butter and two marshmallows on top of each one, and I thought it was like.....dessert as a vegetable. I would eat mine and all the other kids' who didn't eat their own.
So gross!!!!
-
That was my favorite sandwich to take for lunch growing up. Now the thought of a soggy bologna sandwich is so gross! Yuck!
My typical lunch was a soggy bologna sandwich, hi-c juice box, an apple (usually left untouched, ha), and a little debbie snack. Now the apple is the only thing I would eat in that lunch
-
@Crumbs: How funny, I'm the complete opposite! I've never really liked eggs growing up and I *refused* to eat fried eggs/runny eggs. Now poached or sunny-side up eggs are the only way I'll eat them (as long as the whites are fully cooked).
So weird how adult tastes change.
-
My mom used to buy pimento loaf, and I'd have it for lunch sometimes... No way would I eat that now!!
-
Pastina! We used to eat pastina (tiny pasta- maybe a little bigger than cous cous but true pasta) with milk in it. I KNOW. I ate that stuff UP as a kid and I tried pastina recently for nostalgia purposes- without milk because, GAG- and I just couldn't do it. So gross! I think it's an old Italian thing which is weird because my mom is Irish, haha.
-
Mashed potatoes . . . I ate lots of them as a baby, but I won't touch them now! (I just can't deal with the texture!)
-
OMG. Just reading this is making me on the verge of losing my cookies.
Seafood. It was fine growing up, now, the smell makes me sick.
-
@sorrycharlie: Yes! Kid Cuisine! I LOVED them.
-
@rachiecakes: I loooove Cinnabons!!
I used to love Chef Boyardee beefaroni. I haven't had one in 20+ years and have no desire to anymore! Also, I liked instant mashed potatoes (just add water!) mixed with ketchup, haha.
-
@kjpugs: pastina with milk?! I've never heard of that recipe before!
We're Italian & our recipe is water, butter and pastina. I still make it!!
-
@Mrs. Jump Rope: LOL yep it was that just... with milk poured on it. It was so NORMAL then and now I'm like, WTF was I eating and WHAT WAS MY MOM THINKING!!!??!?! It's horrifying really.
-
@kjpugs: I don't like milk AT ALL so I'm super grossed out. But you're probably like "omg she eats butter soup?!"
-
Cream cheese and jelly sandwiches. And bologna sandwiches. What was my mom thinking?
-
@Mrs. Jump Rope: LOL!!! It's probably just as bad, I can't judge!!! I wonder if our kids in 20 years will be like "they used to give me these weird bento boxes now I can't eat any food in small pieces" hahahahaha!
-
@kjpugs: LOL
I can't think of anything specific from my childhood that's strange... We had specific snacks that make me smile whenever I think of them, though!!
My mom always made stovetop popcorn, so that's what I make. I never buy microwave popcorn.
My dad always snacked on asiago cheese & we called it "stinky cheese" but LOVED it. We still eat it with him!! Chloe likes it too
Ritz crackers or saltines with cream cheese. I made these the other day for Lo and my husband looked at me like I had three heads. Then he tried one & ate the whole sleeve LOL
