jello with a middle layer of sour cream, bananas and strawberries (from the freezer) - for school lunch, a scrambled egg sandwich made that morning on white bread with, yes, ketchup - pork roll and swiss cheese with relish and ketchup on english muffins for dinner - still love them all!

I must admit,....I turned on my local sports bar to the "fatty melt" and we haven't looked back since,......

I only eat french toast with granulated sugar on it. No syrup, butter, fruit, nothing. Just granulated sugar.

Ultimate favorite sandwich: cream cheese and jelly. Grape Jelly.

Graham crackers broken up in a bowl and drenched in milk for breakfast.

Not too weird, just not common. :P

We too had SOS (but ours was Budding sliced lunch meat with a can of cream of something on toast), dad too implied it was some sort of Army way of doing things. Also, when we were sick, we could request "milk toast" which was basically cinnamon-sugar toast, cut up into bite sized squares drenched in milk until soggy. And mac-n-cheese with ketchup. Chicken noodle soup with ketchup. Eggs with ketchup. You may be sensing a theme.

Cheetos dipped in lemon yogurt. In retrospect, I'm roughly a hundred percent certain that my Dad thought this up while stoned.

My favorite sandwich as a kid was an omelet with jam in a pita. The other kids thought it was strange, my sister's fav was yogurt and olive paste. But our food didnt get really weird til we went to high school, it was a boarding school, where everyone have yogurt sandwiches in like a hot dog bun with potato chips and sugar. I still find myself buying hot dog buns every so often.

Pei dan. I remember watching a fear factor and watching people withdraw in terror from something I'd been eating for as long as I could remember. Pansies.

Wow, lets see here...
- potato chips in sandwiches, and french fries in sandwiches too (before I discovered Primanti's)
- french fries dipped in applesauce
- chicken nuggets slathered with mashed potatoes
- ketchup sandwiches
- broken up graham crackers in a bowl of milk until they get absolutely mushy
- my sister and I would eat curls of margarine when we were little
- condensed soup with so many saltines crushed up into it that there was no broth left (a trick I learned from both of my grandfathers)
- buttered toast dipped into morning tea (the whole English side of my family does it)

What?? Nobody ate fried baloney and cheddar sammies on white bread? The THRILL of watching that slice fry and suddenly puff in the middle.. how awesome it was to POKE and watch it deflate. Why? I have no idea.

My dad and sis loved peanut butter, mayo, and pickle sam's *shiver*

I still like peanut butter and bacon as well as a schmear of liverwurst with sharp cheddar, pickle and spicy mustard on toast. MMMM! Odd to be a kid and like the liverwurst.. but it was gooood.

my dad's "creation" - elbow macaroni, fried hot dogs, and scrambled eggs mixed together and topped with ketchup. I still love it once in a very long while. my kids might eat it but my husband (who is a missionary kid and will eat anything) flatly refuses to try it.
The only soda in our house was Tab, so I was the only 8 year old at camp drinking diet soda for that refreshing artificial sweetener!
And tacos were always corn tortilla shells, manwich sauced-hamburger, mozzarella cheese, chopped dill pickles, and diced tomatoes. Still a yummy, if not authentic, combo!

this wasn't necessarily a family food, but when I was young, like 5 or 6, I actually indulged in butter, straight up. Oh to be young again.

I love Loco Mocos (hawaiian dish=rice, hamburger patty, gravy, topped with a fried egg), so my mom had this great idea to mix up my breakfast by putting fried eggs ontop of all leftovers and calling it "____ Moco." Common dishes included "Chow Fun Moco", "Linguini with clams Moco," "Curry rice Moco" and "Spaghetti Moco." To this day I put eggs on all kinds of leftovers to give it that rich delicious taste.

I also ate chili and rice with boiled hot dogs like any good Japanese American, only to discover in college that other Asians were unfamiliar with the practice.

Scrapple!
