Great question. Here are my ten:
ReplyDeleteHominy (canned, the waxy kind)
Pinto beans with hamhock
Cornbread dressing
Ambrosia salad
Sweet potato casserole with pecans and lots of mini marshmallows
Gingerbread cookies we called "Stage Planks"
Coca-Cola in small bottles
The smell of strong, hot, fresh coffee
Chicken and dumplings
Circus peanuts
I was sitting here thinking about Burry's cookies, and this led to my Googling "nostalgia foods", which led me to this question. My answer is: Bonimo's Turkish Taffy, Wheatena cereal, grape Kool-Aid, oxtail stew, Horn and Hardardt's Fruit Bars, Chock Full O' Nuts hot dogs and burgers, candy lipstick, Wise Garlic and Onion potato chips, Jewish rye bread, and chocolate sodas.
ReplyDeleteHow funny -- I have looked over the years for Burry's cookies, too! Fudge Towns are the ones I really miss. Looking at the rest of your list, I think we must be of the same vintage. :-)
