As we grow older, we often look back on our childhood with nostalgia, including the foods we used to eat. Here are 10 foods that Gen Xers miss from their childhood.
“Deep fried McDonald’s apple pies.” One person said, “I used to drink half of my chocolate shake and then break up the pie into the shake and eat the rest with a spoon.”
One person relayed her disappoinment with the fact that Arby’s no longer sells potato cakes. “I’m still mad that Arby’s doesn’t have potato cakes anymore.”
"I loved dipping toast in grandmother's egg cups. Soft-boiled and poached eggs aren't suitable when living alone. Due to gluten sensitivity, bread is out. They need toast!"
"My (French Canadian) grandfather's tourtière was unquestioningly devoured. The recipe's now lost with him & my gram." Gatorade Gum: "The best thing ever!"
“Pillsbury Space Food Sticks. Sure, you can take a chocolate PowerBar, cut it long-ways and roll it up to look like the original astronaut rations, but it’s not the same.”
