Gross things you ate as a child or your kids eat?

Microwave-prepared cheese sandwiches, topped with absurd amounts of chili, garlic powder, tabasco etc. My brother and I used to dare each other into putting on more and more: I'm amazed we managed to eat it, and even more amazed neither of us developed any chronic stomach disorder.

I used to babysit a kid who wanted peanut butter and mayonnaise sandwiches for lunch every day.

Ewwwwwwwwwww peanut butter and mayonnaise!

My parents tell me that, when I was really young, I used to love gribinas sandwiches (spelling?). It's chicken fat, butter and onions on white bread. I was apparently too young to remember and I still think they were lying.

My daughter eats dinner leftovers for breakfast. The last time we went to the Waffle House for breakfast, she had a hamburger. The only breakfast food she'll eat is pancakes and then only on occasion.

Oh and thank you, OP, I'm finally inspirational. :)

Gribenes is the cracklings left over from rendering schmaltz (chicken fat) plus onions.

You could go fancy with the sandwich. _ Ilan Hall's Gribenes Sandwich_.

I've always preferred non-breakfast food for breakfast. As one of my cook books says "where is it written that you can't have a bean burrito for breakfast?" I'm with your daughter--last night's leftovers make the best breakfasts.

That's funny. My parents used the schmaltz for the sandwiches.

I eat breakfast for dinner on occasion, especially on the rare times I go to a diner. Diners tend to have the best waffles. But I generally have to have breakfast food for breakfast. I can't stomach spaghetti first thing in the morning.

Sugar sandwiches. White sugar, white bread, butter.

Rice crispies, or cornflakes. with milk, sugar and dollops of red jam.

Which I think is gross now, but which I doubtless enjoyed as a child

My daughter used to love sugar sandwiches! I can't let her see this, she used to make a huge mess making them.

You reminded me NOTB - I don't consider it gross but I like either jelly or syrup on scrambled eggs, especially if I'm eating spicy sausage. The sweet balances out the spicy really well.

Nothing wrong with a jelly omelet, unless you are English and are trying to stuff lime flavored gelatin dessert in there.

Not quite a sugar sandwich, but when I was a kid & we had pancakes, my folks would make extra cakes and put them in the bread box. We'd eat them later in the day, rolled up around sugar. American pancakes

That's a lot more involved than I get. I just slather some jelly on scrambled eggs. Apricot is the best.

I only eat my own home made pancakes. I like them thin with crispy edges, cooked in butter. No one else makes them like I do.
