Did you have a favorite combination of snack foods when you were a kid? I had some really weird combinations of foods that I liked, and they were not healthy. But what do kids know? They like what they like.
My snack combination was doughnuts, corn curls (that’s what we called them back then), and Dr. Pepper. I have no idea why I liked those foods together, but I can still taste the combination in my mind. To me, it was comfort food. I wasn’t overweight, but it still wasn’t a healthy food to be eating. I was creating my own inflammation without realizing it. I remember my dad getting that food for me if I stayed home from school with a cold.
My sister, on the other hand, liked butter beans and canned peaches. I still remember us eating our combination of foods together. I can’t believe our dad let me eat those foods. At least she had a healthier combination that she enjoyed eating together. I had a craved carbs and loved sweets. Good thing we were so active and rode our bikes all over the place.
I was just thinking about this one day and thought it would be a good thing to post about. I hope we weren’t the only kids who had strange combinations of food that we liked eating together. I also loved beans and cornbread. I would just put the cornbread in the bowl of beans and put butter in there too with some onions. I think everyone likes some kind of combination of foods that may seem strange to others. It is just good home-cooked food that warms the soul.
Food is an interesting topic and there is never a shortage of things to talk about when it comes to favorite things to eat. Let me know what yours are. I love to hear what other people like to eat as a comfort food. Until next time…..
