"Kid" foods you still like as an adult (sort of guilty pleasure)

Another variation: Processed cheese slices and pickle on white bread with mayo. It’s not the same (or as good) with real cheese!

Make total sense now. The animals have escaped from their cages, so we are going to eat them, right?

I don’t think it is a kid’s food in particular, but a lot of people do. Including my wife.

A lot of us semi-lactose intolerant Asians (or full lactose-intolerant) would agree. :pensive:

I sort of stop drinking milk everyday now too, but for a totally different reason. I don’t seem to drink my milk fast enough and it goes bad, so I end up tossing it out. Still, I like a glass of cup.

I love olive loaf, but can’t remember the last time I had it. Do they still even make it?!

I still love it, but I haven’t seen it lately here in healthy Oregon.

Same as where I live - in healthy Marin County!
I did spend my early childhood loving Isaly’s chipped ham and ham salad in Pittsburgh - guess those tastes stay with you.

I think Italian delis, even in the “healthy” Bay Area, still carry it. I’ve never had it so I never look out for it. :wink:

That’s probably not a good thing for me to know!

Bologna. Kraft mac & cheese. Whipped cream shot directly into mouth. Ducking my head in shame now.

If the bread is just mildly nice bread, and you swap the pickle for a slice of good tomato lightly salted, I am right there with you.

I forgot about the whipped cream! My husband always has to do that.

In my family, we do tend to get a little carried away with the canned whipped cream, like covering a piece of pumpkin pie with it so that you can’t even tell what’s under there. Once a friend of my father’s brought a date to dinner. We went a little nuts covering a black cherry jello mold with whipped cream. We thought it was hilarious, but I still remember the look of horror/disgust on her face. I think she dumped him right after that.

Yes. Boar’s Head olive loaf is a secret sin for me. I limit myself to 4 slices! On a sesame seed bulky roll with mayo. Eat solo and don’t confess.

I’ve never had olive loaf. Is it just like bologna but with olives?

Pretty sure they do, but it’s really hard to find. Last place I found it was at the WalMart grocery store near me. Why there? I do NOT know.
