It is sorta strange, but IBC rootbeer always reminds me of my dad. As a treat to us kids, once in a while he would stop at the grocery store after work and buy IBC root beer and Vanilla ice cream as a treat for us kids (root beer floats)

Any kind of seasoned steak.

Sauerkraut, mettwurst and mashed potatoes (the stay away!)

My Dad loved cheeseburgers above everything!

My father loved Mexican food.

Only one thing...he was the OLD SOUTH! Corn whiskey or better known as White Lightening!

Anything cooked on the grill and on the spit (rotisserie), mostly steak and chicken on the spit. That's when Mom was cooking the rest of the meal indoors. When Dad was responsible for the meal it was grilled cheese and Campbells cream of tomato soup (at least he added milk and not water), or TV dinners. I loved when he grocery shopped, because we got ice cream and jiffy pop popcorn - the kind that grew right before your eyes on the stovetop. He loved making us happy. God, I miss that beautiful man.

Morel mushrooms, my dad visits me every spring just so we can go mushroom hunting. I've been looking for more interesting ways to cook them so it's not the same thing every time.

Homemade pea soup. My father loved it, so once in awhile my mother would make a big batch of it, mostly for him, since most of us kids, didn't like it very well. Us children were never very happy, when she made it, but my dad was. I still think of him whenever I hear pea soup!

turkey he always carved the turkey on thanksgiving :)

Beef pot roast most reminds me of my father ~ he was a meat and potatoes man :) *Thanks* for the giveaway!
