Funny/strange things you ate as a kid. (page 5)

I just remembered one, I have eaten that salt you buy to dry up the snow, not the kind like table salt, the one that clearly said you shouldn't eat it. I did that for years when I was a kid.

Now, I wouldn't even consider it. LOL

Ketchup sandwiches, every chance I got, until I was about twelve. Then I came to my senses and never willingly ate ketchup again.
Mushroom sandwiches - just plain mushrooms, sliced and fried in butter, on white bread.

That was about it, actually; my childhood diet was actually more cosmopolitan than "weird." Mom was a lifelong subscriber to Gourmet magazine and had a six-foot high bookcase full of cookbooks. Not only that, she kept a cardfile full of index cards - not recipe cards, but library-style cross-references - so she could find any of her thousands of recipes in an instant. Maybe that was a little weird.

My mom used to love peanut butter and onion sandwiches...onion sliced paper thin...

I baked her a cake once while staying at my grandmother's house. I had seen my mom bake a cake before, and thought I knew what to do. My grandmother let me do it my way which involved cracker crumbs in the batter... and flour for the frosting. When my mom arrived to pick me up, I gave my creation to her... and she ate a piece...bless her.... had to be awful... She just smiled and said next time it would be even better if I used powdered sugar instead of the flour.... Now that is love....

Im not origionally from Louisiana but my family is.

I remember my aunt Julie cooking courtbouillon with catfish heads. Eyeballs and all. She said I could never be a 'real' Foster until I ate courtbouillon including an eyeball. I am a 'real' Foster btw. alt

I tried a milkbone--it was gritty--no wonder it keeps dog's teeth clean

We would eat bowls of snow with sugar and food coloring!

I remember eating the erasers off of my pencils--was something missing in my diet? Maybe I was nervous at school!

You all are making my mashed potatoes with cream corn(gravy?) seem kind of boring. Which it is, and which is why I loved it.

I am sure you all have figured out my very boring and unadventurous little soul. The guy with the dueling puppies in his pants notwithstanding:)
