Foods long forgotten...

[SckizoBoy]

I just had squid for lunch today... for the first time in years...

And damn, that stuff is good, I'd almost forgotten how delightful baked squid was to a gastronome...

Anyway, enough about me... what food(s) do you remember from your formative years that you enjoyed yet haven't had in a long while? Failing that, what do you have a craving for at the moment?

Cookies from a place called Frederico's I used to stop by on my way home from middle school. It was like Jamba Juice of cookies. You chose a type of dough, what you wanted in it, then wait about 10 or so minutes. When it was done, they gave your cookie (which was the size of a Laserdisc) in a cardboard box for you to keep it warm.

I've only recently begun to take stabs at emulating the kinds of cookies they made, but I can never seem to get the flavor of the dough correct.

I'm in Australia at the moment and I can't seem to find a good store that sells em... I had some on a visit to China once and they were amazing! unfortunately I only went there once and before I knew it I had to return to the land down under. On the plus side it's made that one experience all the more awesome and I look forward to having some on my next visit even more.

Jif chocolate silk.....chocolate flavored peanut butter. I ate the crap out of that stuff in my early 20s. Then it suddenly disappeared much to my dismay. Luckily, it has recently resurfaced and I can once again delight in smearing it over bagels. So many carbs but so deliciously worth it.

I crave a hot dog right now.

I used to always get this ice cream "Winner Taco" (taco shape ice cream) from the ice cream van that packed outside of High School to the point that the ice cream man get one out ready when I approach him.
I suppose one of the purpose of using a time machive if I ever get to used one would be to travel back to the past to buy a dosen!!

As for what I craved right now, nothing. I'm kind of full now thanks to KFC.

Bread Sticks and Pizza from an Italian semi-fast food restaurant called Fazoli's. They've been gone for a while, which is a shame considering they gave out those unlimited fresh delicious bread garlic bread sticks. Great, I'm sad and hungry now.

I could really go for some calamari. And sushi. Maybe tempura shrimp to go along with it.

Spoiler: These three orbiting a big plate of hot chicken teriyaki...
