Family Meal Traditions

Family Meal Traditions

I'd like to see how many of you can recall and share an odd food combination your family practiced, or your own idea of a treat. Such as a peanut butter and pickle sandwich.

My dad used to put honey on his cottage cheese. We were too poor to eat out, so when we'd go on long trips, mom would put a piece of balony on top of a sweet roll for us to eat. :eek: Then she'd peel an apple and say "here's your apple juice." I still can taste that balony and sweet roll sandwich.

She also served saltine crackers with our homemade ice cream so we wouldn't get "brain freeze." We'd use snow to make homemade ice cream in winter time.


Serve up some more memories.
 
I've always loved banana and cheese sandwiches - particularly if they're toasted. Most people think it's crazy, but I think it's a great combination.

Tell me this isn't so! :eek:

He he .... It is so . And the peaunut butter takes away the sharpness of the onion . Hey, don't knock it until you try it ... :D:D:D

I know you always wondered about me and my weirdness ..... he he :D:D.... It's a Canadian thing .

Just like apple pie with cheese .
 
When we kids had a congested chest, G-Ma would cook up a batch of onion syrup for us to take. She used about 6 big onions, sauteed in lotsa' butter, and would give us a couple teaspoons of the syrup it made. Then, she'd pile the cooked onions on toast. Mmmmm

I still make that once in awhile. Not the syrup, but I cook butter n' onions and put it on toast. A real treat.

they are amazing you should beable to buy them frozen at moste any store they are rather finicky to make and are VERY messy i find moste store bought ones to be almoste as good as home made. the moste common kind in stores seem to be potatoe bacon, potato onion, potato cottage cheese and potatoe chedar cheese. then you just boil them for 5-7min (depends if they are frozen or not 7min for forzen) then fry them up with onions a bit of oil and some butter i useually also add some garlic and pepper aswell
