I think Marin County, CA is designated an olive loaf free zone!
Cheese & onion Ringos
Orange Capri Sun ( though not the same now they have a screw cap. Stabbing the pouch with the straw and causing it to spurt all over yourself was half the fun).
HP Sauce sandwiches.
Just HP Sauce?
Nothing else?
Not even crisps & HP?
My own contribution - butterscotch Angel Delight. Although I was barely still a kid when AD was introduced in 1967.
Yes @Harters & @bbqboy just HP. On sliced white bread of course.
I loved butterscotch AD growing up. Haven’t tried it for years.
My big confession involves banana AD.
We always seem to have loads in the freezer (yes, I know we should just buy fewer). They usually end up in Mrs H’d banana bread but I was in search of something new. So, a few months back, I bought a ready made tart case, put mashed up bananas in the bottom and topped it with the AD. It was surprisingly OK.
That’s okay,more for me here!
I wasn’t familiar with Angel Delight, so I had to look it up. (I’m a librarian - I can’t help it!) It sounds sort of like the American butterscotch pudding which I used to love. Is it very sweet?
I still eat sliced green olive sandwiches in white bread with mayo, but is that kid food? Everyone now eats pimiento cheese sandwiches. I still eat peanut butter and jelly on occasion. I didn’t get served much in the way of frozen or prepared foods, and I’ve given up candy and junk food (Twinkies!), except for leftover reeses cups and snickers bars at Halloween.
Anything concerning peanut butter is kid’s food!
PS, I’ve never heard of green olive sandwiches + I think pimento sandwiches are very regional. Perhaps things have changed since I’ve been off the sandwich circuit.
Try one!
Pimiento cheese seems to be popping up all over DC and I see it a lot in food magazines/sites. A lot of Southern things (eg, bbq, use of “y’all”) are spreading – and changing. There are now places that cook actual good barbecue in the DC area now!
I’m a continent away from the South, but we do have a fledgling olive industry in Oregon and of course we’re just a hop, skip, and a jump from the California olive groves but I prefer mine stuffed with garlic cloves.
And we are cheese blessed, but no pimento to my knowledge.
As long as you don’t combine peanut butter and pimento cheese I say live and let live.
Cream cheese mixed with chopped pimento-stuffed green olive sandwiches are things of lady’s tea lunches. Often with Boston leaf lettuce, crusts trimmed off and cut into 4 triangles. I had to spend 4 weeks in a rehabilitation center for PT and OT a few years ago. They were always on the menu and I was always happy to see them!
I must confess, I’ve never been to any ladies’ tea lunches.
Was that when you lived here?
I used to go to The Inkwell in Long Branch, NJ for a bagel with cream cheese & olives, after the bars closed. A lady’s tea lunch it was not, and it’s still on the menu.
Ha! That’s almost the only way I like whipped cream!
I can’t believe I’m admitting this, but I prefer Oscar Meyer olive loaf. Probably because that’s what I grew up on. I’m not that keen on Boar’s Head in general, and haven’t had Kretchmer olive loaf.
Ate hundreds, maybe thousands of these as a kid.
Bought two cans purely from a nostalgia urge back in 2018, maybe early-2019.
Opened one can. Sampled one sausage. Threw the rest of the can out. Can number 2 is aging in our pantry. Shelf life is, I think, May, 2044. Definitely not a “Kid” food I still like as an adult.
My husband and grandson love those things.I wouldn’t touch them with a ten foot pole now or then. Mechanically separated meat. Otoh I do like fried Spam.once in a blue moon. What can I say. Go figure.
How about Underwood deviled spreads? What’s in that stuff? I haven’t had any since childhood.
