Foods you never grow out of.
 

I made this thread a while before the crash and so I thought I'd give it another go.

What foods have you never grown out of? Some foods we ate as kids disgust us now and some we still love...

I love mac'n cheese! Good ol kraft dinner, there isn't a newfoundlander I know of that does not like the stuff, also homemade spagettie and cookies! yum! I want some now!

How about you all?

Things I've always loved were rice krispies, homemade waffles, cookies and bread.

Mac 'n Fuckin' cheese. I wonder if there's some addictive chemical in it... ya know like how those commercials used to be so crazy, like you were tripping out in happy fun cheese land going down slides and bursting off of cheese fountains and jumping out of helicopters and such.

Everytime I eat Mac 'n Cheese it's like I'm jumping out of a helicopter.

I've always liked liquorice. I can eat it by the tonne, and I never get sick of it.

My cousin can't stand liquorice, I gross her out when I eat it. ^_^

Soy sauce and rice. Ate that all the time as a kid and I still love it, disgustingly so.

Although now I'm probably a bit more sophisticated and will include cubed ham or chicken into the party. Need that protein.

Grilled Cheese Sandwitches. I loved those when I was little, I even taught myself how to make them when I was 7 because my parents were tired of making them for me. Yes, I realise that grilled cheese isn't exactly complicated in any sense, but I was 7, I was damn proud of myself.

bread+ peanut butter + cheese :D

Kraft dinner, oreo cookies, Dutch Chocolate sprinkles on bread, fruit loops, corn pops.... the list goes on and on.

I was the same way when I learned how to cook kraft dinner when i was 6

Rice fo' sho'. Every freaking day...

I've had those frozen home-cooked pizzas a few time every week for hella long... since my kindergarten days perhaps to today, graduated college and workin, eatin' my pizzas, generally with fries. There's also the occasional cheeseburger.

There's other easy-to-cook stuff I never get sick of, like those BBQ chicken wings or chicken nuggets.

Macaroni & cheese, of course. :p

I also love meatloaf.

How can you even grow out of food that isn't pablum, breast milk or that pureed Gerber turd?

Speaking of Gerber, that cereal flakey stuff that you add milk with, similar to oatmeal. Damn good stuff but it never lasts long enough :(

I can't think of anything. I never really loved any type of food; I grew into more foods than I grew out of. Oh, except Jaffa Cakes ^_^

Chicken. If all that avian-flu stuff actually amounted to a poultry ban... damn, I'd go catch my own chickens lol!

Double Post:
Chicken. If all that avian-flu stuff actually amounted to a poultry ban... damn, I'd go catch my own chickens lol! And since entering tertiary studies, I can never see myself without my essential oatmeal, peanut butter, bananas and all sorts of veges :P

I still love chocolate. From the first day I tasted a Mirage bar when I was just a tiny kid, I loved chocolate ever since.

I can't get sick of chicken and I can't get sick of fries.

Oh yeah, also veggies and a bunch of assorted Korean dishes.

As a kid one of my cousins loved chef boyade ravioli, but now she can't stand the sight of it.

Cheese. There's nothing better. Oh, and pie. Pie with lots of cheese.

who can't get enough of nachos with loads of cheese

Cereal!

i looove chicken ceasor (sp?) wraps! If i go to the gas station to pump, I would sometimes go in there and buy them. and a good combination with sprite.

^^^ Are those the same as Pitas? If so, I love them too.

Cereal, Rice, and Ramen.

I've had those three (not at the same time of course...well at least not cereal when having the other two) for as long as I remember, and I can't imagine never having a bowl of cereal, rice, or ramen when I'm older (40s, 50s, etc.).

Grilled cheese and tomato soup. Those must be eaten together, it's required. Good old-fashioned PB&J. Chocolate chip cookies. Umm... chocolate milk. String cheese. I'm a total junk food nut, I just try and avoid it as much as possible.

Pizza, and fruit. All kinds of fruit.

It's funny because when I was little I HATED vegetables, now my mouth waters at the very sight of them! And my new "adult" favorite of an old favorite is Veggie pizza... which I used to hate when I was little, too.

Peanut butter and jelly (every day through 7 years of middle school and high school), grilled cheese (at least once a week nowadays), and spaghettios (probably also a once-weekly occurance). Spaghettios with meatballs, of course.

I don't quite understand this thread. Foods that I didn't grow out of? Versus what, foods I did grow out of? Strained peas. I grew out of those fairly quickly. And zweiback toast. I haven't had that ever since I grew teeth. I guess I still eat popsicles. I just don't rub them all over my hands and hair first. I sort of stopped having apple juice at snacktime, so maybe that counts. But if I was thirsty and that's all there was, I'd still drink it today. So I haven't really grown out of juice at all. I just don't drink it as often because I'm allowed to have other things now.

I think that if I stopped eating any food, it's only because I was once forced to eat that food by my parents, such as brussel sprouts, and was never really "into" that food in the first place, certainly not enough to "grow out of it".

Perhaps when I'm old and can no longer chew my own meals, I'll have grown out of things like steak, corn-on-the-cob and chicken wings. But it's too soon to make that call.

Seeing as you can buy chocolate pudding for infants, I think it's pretty safe to say that I never grew out of that. Or any flavor of pudding really. Pudding is one of those ageless foods, kinda like Twinkies.

Though whereas pudding is figuratively ageless, Twinkies are so quite literally.

So are french fries. Blech.

For foods I did grow out of, I would say Chef Boyardee Ravioli and mayonnaise sandwiches (um...ew?). And those abysmally disgusting kid's tv dinners that I would always beg my mom for then not finish because they were gross. :P

mayonnaise sandwiches! what the hell were we thinking.
I also grew out from eating pure chocolate. I can't eat it unless it has some sort of peanuts or something but even then I rarely eat chocolate

I'm with Chie. Chocolate without any sort of crunchies or crispeties is just too.... chocolate.

I've never grown out of macaroni and cheese. For some godforsaken reason, I will ALWAYS love mac & cheese - and I'm talking the cheap, straight-from-the-box, western family brand mac, complete with unnaturally-colored cheese powder.

Every once in a while I'll spice it up with some tuna or hot dog slices, but it's all good, all by itself.

If I ever outgrow chocolate, shoot me. FAST. Because if I reach that point, there must not be anything left to live for.

<3

It's this beef stew that my mom makes. Everytime I eat a bowl, there's always room for seconds.

Lucky Charms and fruit snacks(DINOSAURS AND SHARKS AND GUSHERS, OH MY XD)!

I'll never grow out of chocolate pudding. Always a good snack, and tasty. I love pizza and mac and cheese also. Reasons unknown, but i'll eat them any day.

jello
We uses to make a pot full and eat a cup at a time. I never get tired of it.

Man, I don't get it, but I've never really liked KD. But man, Sodalicious...mmm

Foods I have yet to grow out of:
Sashimi
Raw Eggs + Rice + Soy Sauce
Corn Soup
Cheesecake
Milk Coffee (basically sweetened warmed milk with a little bit of instant coffee in it)

Foods I have grown out of:
Really sugary sweet desserts (i.e., pie + ice cream after dinner hasn't felt all that appealing to me lately)
Lucky Charms (used to love that cereal as a kid)
Waffles (used to be favorite breakfast; now I'd rather have an omelette)

Foods I have recently grown to:
Red Meat (yeah, not much of a steak lover to begin with, but been getting used to it the last couple years.)
Stuff that goes well with Sake -- i.e., japanese pickles, squid, dried fish, canned fish. (Oddly enough I figured everything that goes well with Sake goes pretty much well with Rice too, which I will probably never grow out of, so go figure.)

Beef Jerky. Each time I buy that stuff before I know it its all gone. Hasn't been an instance in my entire life where a bag of the stuff has made it through the night (barring parental intervention of course). There is also large amounts of potato based products I have yet to grow out of.

Apperantly pizza was one of my first solid foods, and i have yet to get sick of it to this day. I'll eat almost anything on a pizza, save for certain veggies. There are also many things i'll put on pizza that i won't eat on their own, e.g. tomatos.

I expect to be a pizza lover for many years to come, or at least i hope.

When I was little, I was absolutely obsessed with squash, and still am today. Now and then I also enjoy a good honey and honey nut cheerios sandwich.

Guys guys, Curry.

It doesn't matter who you are; or what country you come from. You enjoy curry. How do I know this? Indian curry gives me horrible diarrhea 90% of the time i eat it; and i'm still willing to shovel it down my throat like my life depended on it.

But really; there are waaaaay to many diffrent types of curries for someone to actually say they don't enjoy any type of curry.

I don't know how many of you out there will know what I am talking about, but my favorite as a child and still like today is White Castle hamburgers. They are cheap as hell, too. You can get a bag of 10 burgers for about $5.00!

....and drum roll, please....pork roll, egg and cheese sandwich on a hard roll in the morning!

sad to say it...white rice. lol. well, that and chocolate chip cookies, and stir-fry my mom makes. yummy! :p

There're many things I could list, but the one which I find most (sad?) joy in eating is different childish cereals. Covered in sugar, yes. Tasty, yes. Bonus nostalgic feeling, yes...healthy? Hell no.

y 'ello thar frosties (Frosted Flakes).

Coco Pops and frozen peas. I used to hate peas as a kid, so dad told me to have them frozen if I didn't like them cooked....and they were delicious. I've been eating frozen peas as a snack for going on 18 years now.

Foods I'll never grow out of:
-Lettuce/Cabbage salad w/ponzu
-Ramen, instant or handmade
-Rice
-KIXs (as in the creal, I miss my berry kixs)
-baked potatos
-MEAT

Foods I've grown out of:
Nothing really. I probably eat less Pizza, I'm kinda sick of it from my boyfriend getting it like 5 times a week. I've never liked sweet things like cake and chocolate. I still don't like much of bell peppers and I still love my japanese foods.

I think I got some more grown' to do, I still like what I love, and still don't eat what I hate. haha

Cereal is possibly the only food that I've never grown out of. I also loved raisins when I was a kid, and still do today.

And Golden Grahams. THE nicest cereal I have ever tasted BAR none.

=o So I'm not the only one! Everyone I know thinks I'm really weird for eating peas frozen.

Frozen peas? That sounds like something I should give a try! I do like frozen grapes. They are pretty good.

Bologna. The oscar meyer kind. I hate to admit but I do love it. Hot Pockets I enjoy, too. I'm sure Jim Gaffigan would get a kick out of me.

I don't eat as much candy as I used to. If I eat a sweet, it will be in cake or pie form usually.

You're white aren't you??? I have still yet to meet an Asian person who enjoys soy sauce and rice...

Tofu flower, or silken tofu or whatever you call that stuff. Like desert tofu.

That stuff is delicious, i love it when you add the sugar but it doesn't mix in all the way. and you get like really bitter parts and like sweet parts. i dunno might just be me.

I'll never get tired of Cheese and Chips,Mickae Dee's French Fries, or Peas. I've always loved those foods. ^_^ I have some foods that I've liked since I was little,will eat them for awhile,get tired of them, and then go back to them later. But those that I named,I will never get tired of.

Thai green curry is the best stuff ever. The Thai place by my house makes it so spicy my veins burn for an hour after I eat it, but I love it nonetheless. I also think there's some merit to the "curry addiction" theory. There is a sort of odd "high" that I get when I eat the really spicy stuff, and one that oddly enough does not set in when I eat other kinds of spicy food.

Definitely curry. After going to Coco's Curry while in Okinawa, I just couldn't stop going there everyday getting chicken cutlet curry with some nahn bread. Now I'm hungry for some.....

I just heated up some leftover curry I had made the other day for lunch because of this thread. :p

One thing my mom always made for me when I was young was the peanut butter and banana sandwich. I don't eat it as often as I did when I was a kid, but if we have peanut butter and we have fresh bananas, it is most likely going to end up in my belly.

I also love Kraft Cheese & Macaroni...I think just about everyone had that as a kid. It's not my preferred meal, but if I'm hungry and lazy, it's perfect.

rice n curry
McD's steak egg n cheez bagel
gotta love that stuff...and only that stuff XD

Christ does that bring back memories... damn I want a bar of that stuff right now ;__; Didn't they do Kitkat caramacs a while back? My god talk about combining the two best sweet foods around ^.^

french fries and pizza. I love the fastfood from childhood!

Hmmm...there's so much!

The big favorite for me is the trusty peanut butter and jelly sandwich. It's simple enough that I can whip one up whenever I get hungry. Simplicity aside, it tastes delicious. I prefer wheat bread because it is (supposedly) healthier and because it has much more flavor than the plain, generic, overprocessed white breadstuff. Does anyone have a favorite type of jelly/jam/preserves to use on their PBJ? (Mine is strawberry, hands down).

I'm also a sucker for a nice, chewy cookie. Chocolate chip cookies are good under any circumstance, but my absolute favorite type of cookie is the gingersnap. A warm, chewy gingersnap is pure deliciousness.

Unagi. Fried eel roll with a delicious sauce. I could eat that all day and not get sick of it, especially if its included with ginger.

Potato chips, I'll never grow tired of them, maybe not in the quantities as before, but I'll definitely never turn them down.

Soft chewy warm chocolate chip cookies however never ever get old and never will.

But snacks aside there is this kind of Persian (or Indian or Afghan depending on who you ask) rice that I ate when I was younger that I found absolutely awesome. It was nice and fluffy and it had this aroma about it that smelled great. And of course it tasted great. To this day I only know of one place that serves rice like it at a local food market/food court place down where I go to school.

Fruit puree, especially the apricot ones. It's always fun and remind me of my childhood whenever I eat those canned fruit puree.

I actually sat down and I came up with about 15 items I can just automatically buy at the store...because I realized I've been eating the same things for years, with almost zero deviation.

Highlights:
-Frozen Chicken Nuggets (Pilgrim's Pride brand or anything "made with" rib meat)
-Bagel Bites (the ones with the stuff inside)
-Cup O Noodles
-Pasta
-Rice
-Overstuffed Chef Boyardee Ravioli
-Pineapple Chunks (100% Juice)
-Pudding
-Celeste Pizzas (on sale only...a ripoff for more than $1 apiece)
-Energy Drinks (either Rockstar or Sobe...Red Bull's a ripoff and Full Throttle is shit)
-Salt and Vinegar Potato chips (occasionally Crab Flavored ones if the store has them)
-Grapes
-Bananas
-Left-over imitation crab delight (significantly marked down and you get a lot of it...You have to eat it fairly quick though)
-Eggos
-The cereal I'm in the mood for.

All the same stuff I used to eat when I was younger AND was cheap to boot.

chicken wings and smarties ice cream

great.. u got me thinking about food at 1:18am

I've always been a pasta freak and I love just about any recipe that includes it. Also, when I was a kid my parents would always take us to a bread shop and get these lil half pie things with different fillings inside. I haven't had them in a good while, but they are always delicious. ^^

Sushi. Eel. Unagi, more specifically, is basically my bane. That sauce they put on the crunchy skin...MMM. I don't think I will ever grow tired of this delicacy.

Cheese, veggies, tofu, and apple juice. Man, how could I resist them?

Btw, does apple juice count?

Frosted Flakes. And vanilla milk shakes.

My adult wisdom has told me over the years has told me that there is nothing better than sugar and milk, in most any form.

Well, me personally, I don't mind rice with a little bit of soy sauce, but either a raw egg or dried seaweed would come to mind if we're putting those ingredients in consideration.

Milk and bread. I'm not even kidding. My mom used to make it (I love my mom. I really do. My mom has got to be the best person ever. Seriously, my mom is awesome, I love her.)

My mom would head up milk, and break of little pieces of homemade bread into a bowl, pour milk over it. And I'd eat that and feel like everything in the world was allright. She'd sometimes make us black milk which tasted GODLY -- basically warm milk with crushed, heated nuts. I think it was roasted sunflower nuts but it could have been almonds too. But it tasted like chocolate milk. It was awesome and sugary. And I love the texture of that bread.

I still make it. It's a treat, a kind of comfort food.

Grilled cheese and Apple juice is my typical afternoon snack, and I've been eating both for a long time, so...

Also, when I was a toddler, my Mom would make "snacky plates" with finger food such as grapes or pieces of apples, pepperoni, pickles, crackers, Extra Sharp cheddar cheese (It HAD to be Extra Sharp, or I wouldn't eat it), olives, and other things of the like. Now it's not like I do that all the time now, but the tradition of a finger food meal has held to this day. For example, when I have the rare opportunity to eat out at a buffet or the like and can make my own salad, I usually end up with a collection of odds and ends which I will eat seperately instead of all together like a salad should be.

That must also bring back my childhood habit of being "no-touchitarian", where I wouldn't eat food that touched other food.

Brussel Sprouts (i use to call them Kryptonite when i was 8) , Macaroni & Cheese i remember having them always as a afternoon snack
