I did a post about cucumber and onion in vinegar a few days ago, as we used to have that a lot when I was a child. We make it occasionally nowadays.
It got me thinking about other foods I remembered from my childhood.
Ski yogurts. I haven’t seen any of those in years.
Sweetheart pudding. This was in a can, a bit like thick yogurt. You added milk to it and gave it a whisk, put it in dishes and placed it in the fridge. I liked the peach flavour.
Celery , we always used to have celery sticks in a jug at my Nans house, certainly at Christmas. I know it’s still readily available but we don’t seem to buy it anymore.
Oxtail soup. I usually make my own these days but sometimes get a chicken one for The Mister. But I haven’t seen oxtail soup for ages.
What foods do you remember from your childhood ?

After we butchered a calf, mom would make scrambled eggs and calf brains. I wouldn't eat that! She made oxtail soup after we butchered a calf, too. Once in a while mom cooked mountain oysters. I liked those. We ate tame rabbits a lot. Once in a while one of my older brothers would go fishing for mud turtles and would make turtle soup. (It was bright green and looked greasy so I wouldn't eat that, either.)

I bet fresh oxtail soup was nice and tasty.
My Nan made a great rabbit stew .
I’m afraid I wouldn’t want the other things you mentioned.

My brothers loved turtle soup! Mom and dad both loved scrambled eggs with calf brains.
Mom always breaded and fried rabbits. And oxtail soup was always good.

My Mom was a great cook and I have fond memories of her homemade fried chicken she would make. It was awesome.

I don’t really remember anything too special. I do remember we didn’t like bananas so she’d take dry jello mix, roll a banana in it and then we’d eat it. I liked cherry the best; it was delicious.
She also made chicken Kiev on my sister’s birthday since she loved it so much.
