Childhood desserts and snacks
What was your all-time favourite snack as a child? For my part, I used to relish (pun intended) spreading ketchup on a piece of bread. Before going to bed, we three kids would have toasts. I always had the same: toast with butter, cinnamon and heaps of sugar. Total bliss! I can’t imagine how I could sleep after that… Actually, I sleepwalked a lot in those years. Hmm… Do you suppose there is a link? Another favourite was a mix of Carnation milk (we were big on that), banana sliced in round bits and again… loads of sugar! And you?

Funny, two of your three were favourites of mine as a child! Cinnamon toast (not before bedtime though - it was strictly for Saturdays), and "banana cereal" (bananas in milk with sugar - the only time I was allowed to add sugar to anything!)
To complete the triumvirate, I'd have to decide between Cheeze Whiz on celery (only at Gramma's) or the After School Special (aka "Get Outta My Hair, Kids"), peanut butter spoons - as simple as it sounds.
What, no fondness for ketchup?
I had forgotten about Cheez Whiz on celery! Brings back memories.... I became a fan of peanut butter much later in life.
My use of ketchup as a child (and as an adult) has been strictly conventional: scrambled eggs, grilled cheese, french fries, burgers. I somehow avoided the "ketchup for ketchup's sake" phenomenon. :-)
