Good turkey stuffing, jellied cranberry sauce, and spiced apple cider.

Reminds me of the holidays when my grandpa would spend all day cooking and I got to help...fuck I can't even type about it without crying.

Pic kind of related, he liked to bring us doughnuts.

Kit Kats.
My Dad would always get them for me whenever I went with him to the grocery store.
It's one of the few memories I have left of him when he passed away when I was four.

Thanksgiving dinner when you get to grams house early, and it smells like sage and thyme and roasting meat, and there are 3 hommemade pies (pecan, pumpkin, and banana cream) on the pie cooling counter, while she's bustling around in her apron, shooing all the other women out of the kitchen getting all the side dishes (home canned green beans, home canned sweet corn, potatoes both roasted and mashed, scalloped oysters, several different dressings, etc.) together; the men of the family having some whiskey, the women wine; the kids caging sips from the adult beverages.

Yeah, the US was kind of good when I was a kid.

rolos
donuts with strawberry frosting, I'd get one on Sundays if I was good

There also was this dinner meal my mother used to make, I think she used to call it chicken cacciatore but it wasn't the same thing. It was chicken with noodles and strips of carrots and peppers with some other vegetables. I loved it as a kid but whenever she makes cacciatore now it's the regular chicken/sauce/wine kind.

It sucks so many people are taking the message of that to be "all nostalgia is bad" rather than unhealthily fixating on the past being unhealthy. Nostalgia is perfectly fine and healthy to experience, but as with everything, moderation is key.

You can think it's false if you want, I don't really give a flying fuck. That shit was real in my family, and it's a true childhood memory.

I hope you derive some kind of pleasure from your memories of TV dinners or Chef Boy-ar-Dee canned spaghetti in a dismal, cold, suburban pasteboard hovel. At some point, the memories are going to be all you have.

Alright. But in a friggin' thread that's supposed to be about nostalgia, it's kind of stupid to be ridiculed for being nostalgiac.

[Anonymous No.8195028]

These remind me of the horrible times at school as I had them in my pack lunch most days. My anxiety would make me feel nauseous so eating was hard and since the chocolate bar was the last thing I'd eat I'd often not finish it. I still get the same feeling when I see them on the shelf.

Scrambled eggs with shitty slices of Kraft singles on it. After 9/11 and my dad being gone my mom couldn't afford much else. Those shitty eggs and cheese remind me of childhood

I don't have my own family yet, but I try to make his stuffing...it will never be the same, but I try...

I do love cooking all day on Thanks Giving and Christmas though, and yes, I do bring home doughnuts somewhat often.

I did learn how to make the cornbeef he used to like, and I'm not half bad at fried chicken and mashed potatoes with gravy.

Good on you, Anon.
Your grandfather no doubt took years to perfect his recipes, you're interpretation of his dishes will no doubt take a similar time to perfect. Keep it up.

[Anonymous No.8195263]

>drink
Hot chocolate. My grandfather would make some in a slow cooker, and it was the richest tasting hot chocolate ever. I can't even drink the packaged powered stuff anymore.
>food
Chili. The good, hearty kind with fresh chunks of tomato, meat, and a variety of beans. It's perfect when it's a winter's night and the bowl is too hot to eat. I will usually hold the bowl to warm up my hands, and enjoy the comfy feeling. Whenever my grandparents or parents made it, they made a huge ass pot of it, and honestly it's the only food that I love leftover as much as I love fresh.

If I could ever eat them again. I doubt they serve those for school lunches anymore.

A lot of foods from my childhood don't make me feel nostalgic though because a lot of them don't taste the same anymore.

I was a train enthusiast(railfa/n/) as a kid and my mom would take me to a certain train station in our Mid-Atlantic hometown. Pennsylvania Station had a little cafe where'd they sell all kind of convenience store-tier food including chicken wings. And I ate them like they were the best thing in the world.

Fast forward: mom has long died since then. 20 years later, the cafe now has a bar and I'm a raging alcoholic. I start drinking at that bar for the $2.00 beers. They literally have a sign saying "Best Proclaimed Wings".

Brandy milkshakes my grandfather would make after working in the garage on a cold winter night.

Sauerkraut soup with my grandmother.

Baozi after school

Large scale hog roasts with friends

jiffy pop over the fireplace

And while my mother has always been a horrible cook, to this day I smile on the occasional meal of fish sticks and tater tots. One of the few things she could follow the directions on.

And at some point I realized that I will never experience anything even close to that overwhelming sense of happiness. Now I drink and wish that I could feel like that again but I don't.

Was always pretty sure that it was Rio Cola but couldn't find any pictures that support the idea. Pic pretty related but I still think it was Rio Cola.

Puto Cheese (steamed rice cakes with cheese on top).

My mom used to make trays of that delicious shit on my birthday. I was a fat little kid who was always greedy with her food. I even demolished trays by myself. By the time I finished eating all the puto cheese, I barely had room for my birthday cake.

It's funny that I'm nostalgic/sentimental over it but hey, here we go.

Coffee. Specifically black coffee.
Its odd because I didn't actually drink it back in the days that I reminisce over or feel sentimental about. I was WAY too young, like less than ten years old.

But strong black coffee reminds me of my grandfather so much. He was a strong, warm, intelligent man that loved working with his hands and loved to share stories and teach me and my younger sister everything he could. He was a tough old papa bear and the absolute pillar of our family. He was a total coffee demon and damn near constantly had a cup in his hands. I can't think of him without remembering how he always smelled like wood smoke and freshly brewed coffee. That association is so strong.

I'm a big coffee drinker myself now, always strong and dark and black, and even though I didn't actually drink it at the time it's the most nostalgic food/drink there is to me.

Fucking loved you, granddad.
Gonna go pour myself a cup right now.
