I've thought about it-why doesn't one want to eat pickle relish? I don't eat it because I don't care for sweet pickles. Are you saying it's because you don't really know what's in it? But that is true for most processed/restaurant food. Just curious.

I don't know if it counts as a meal, but I LOVE Bagna Cauda, with good Italian Bread.

My mom's home-made devil's food cake with 7 minute frosting. I still can't make good 7 minute frosting.

oh, and scrambled eggs, of course.

My Mom's were my favorites- small, smashed flat with a spatula, peppered and served on a bun that was placed on top of it for the last couple minutes of cooking- so the edges got a little crispy from the grease and the top got steamed.
Next to her's, I like Culver's Butterburgers- closest thing to Mom's yet.

I haven't read all the other comments, so someone else may have already suggested these names:

When I was in high school my Mom worked in the cafeteria and her best freind was the baker. She made the BEST brownies I've ever had. My Mom got the recipe and I still make them for my son today. They're still the best brownies I've ever had.

My grandfather, who was Pennsylvania Dutch (they like to have 7 sour and 7 sweet things on the table) taught me to eat sour pickles with chocolate cake. I still ear it every once in a while. And I eat macaroni and cheese sprinkled with sugar- don't know why, I just always have. And growing up, my Dad had to have bread and potatoes at every meal- so I still make spaghetti w/ meat sauce and a side of mashed potatoes and butter. So fattening, but SO good!
