Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mannahnin" data-source="post: 8689677" data-attributes="member: 7026594">This is a bit of a funny one for me.  Growing up my brother and I were very picky eaters, though our mom is an exceptional cook (our friends would regularly opine that we didn't deserve her cooking, when they got to visit).  So foods from my formative years aren't necessarily ones that would be very good contributions to cuisine.Stuff I loved and ate a lot as a kid:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Appian Way home pizza mix</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Mustard toast sandwiches (literally toasted wheat bread with just spicy brown mustard), usually accompanied by chocolate milk</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Beef teriyaki skewers from the Chinese restaurant with hot mustard, accompanied by white rice with soy sauce</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Swiss Colony Dobosh Torte (my preferred alternative to a regular birthday cake whenever the family could afford them)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Ginger garlic pork ribs with Lachoy sweet & sour sauce</li> </ul>The pork ribs were messy but insanely good.  More sugar than I'd want nowadays, I think, but the fresh sliced big chunks of ginger and garlic were so flavorful.  Mom used to complain about the work and the mess, and she hasn't made them in many years.  Maybe I should try to recreate them...</blockquote>
