Favorite meals as a kid?

I saw a thread with the word "shingles" in the title and it reminded me of childhood food my mom used to make for my grandpa, shit on a shingle. Basically ground beef in a gravy over a piece of toast.

Some of the other things she made was fideo, goulash and a chicken, rice and potato casserole thing. What do you remember as child eating that was a home cooked meal?

My uncle used to make some on the grill that were incredible!

Believe it or not, the school cafeteria meals when I was growing up were pretty good. Guess that's what you get from small town Nebraska moms and grandmas. Mac and Cheese with Gov't cheese was almost as good as Kraft, or maybe the chemicals had me a little high - one or the other. Chili day involved everyone putting sliced pickles, carrots, etc. from the side dishes in the chili and dipping your PB+honey half-sandwich in it. LOL. Awesome times.

The thing I miss the most is the soup my mom used to make a lot.

Fried chicken. When's the last time you had homemade fried chicken? Dang.

Is it lunchtime yet?

Oddly enough our mother was lacking in the kitchen, like seriously. When asking my sisters what meal really stuck out that mom could cook. The reply was Mrs. Paul's fish sticks and spaghetti . Her Christmas & Thanksgiving meals were spot on, everything else mediocre.
To be fair her PB&J sandwiches along with liverwurst, lettuce, tomato on a hard roll........... award winning

Brian mentioned school / cafeteria lunches. Hot buttered noodles with brown gravy. The white rice with carrots and turkey was a winner. Once i went to HS. who had time for lunch.................

Kind of the same situation. Mom wasn't as talented in the kitchen because Grandma always had that covered. My grandmother always, and I mean ALWAYS, every Sunday made a fresh batch of hot pork green chili and beans. The pans she used to cook were HUGE as she would make enough in one batch to feed 4+ families. She would pair it numerous other dishes which could vary from molle, caldo, menudo, salsa, pesole, fresh tortillas, homemade biscuits, spanish rice, chicken legs, over easy eggs, fried potato's with ground beef (my favorite), beef pot roast or anything else she could come up with. That lady was truly gifted in the kitchen. I always remember walking into her kitchen and hearing the valve on top of the pressure cooker going crazy.

HS meals - burgers and hot dogs, because our cafeteria ladies made home made buns. Dang drool on the keyboard...
