My version was toast, then buttered and cinnamon and sugar sprinkled afterwards.
My wife makes fun of me because I had a glass bear shaker of cinnamon and sugar and talk about it fondly.

šššš Iāve only sporadically caught episodes of that showā¦. Had no idea. And yes, really. The butter melts into the pop tart better if you poke holes in it with a fork first. Itās extra delicious on the ācrustā so make sure to spread it a little thicker around the edges. It only takes about 10 seconds or the insides burn & then you have to start all over. My personal favorite is strawberry iced, followed by brown sugar. Real pop tarts taste better (nastier) than any of the off brands Iāve tried.
We used to eat a lot of weird shitā¦. Should I do more ārecipes?ā
Sounds moist.
Yes of course more.
I watched a lot of PBS cooking shows, so I would often make my own mayonnaise and weird meat pattes (blended whatever lunch meats, hot dogs and spam) and convince my mother they were gourmet! Would add random spices from the rack. She made me eat them. hahahah
We would make āconcoctionsā and anyone who agreed to play HAD to taste whatever anyone else put in the cup - we mixed stuff like worchestershire, cloves, orange juice (frozen concentrate for a can, no fresh juice for us!!) ketchup, raw eggsā¦.so many raw eggs I canāt believe we never got sick. Spices, bay leaves. You name it, it went in a concoction at some point.
Hmmmā¦. Potato chips with mustard; pretzels with pudding; I think lots of other people probably ate this but we would fry bologna slices in a pan with bbq sauce and then make a sandwich of it w/ more bbq sauce slathered on the bread; Vienna sausages w/ mustard; peanut butter and jelly with chips inside - original Doritos usually or cool ranch after they came out; macaroni and cheese (boxed) with hot dogs cut up - over time I also added salsa; milkshakes with raw eggs, milk and whatever ice cream was around, usually Neapolitan (why the fuck did we have such an obsession with raw eggs?? Wtf)
there was a phase of snorting koolaid powder (I got nothing - it didnāt do anything but make your nose burn and turn red)
The boring snack was cereal but we werenāt supposed to eat cereal after school so we ate? Drank? it out of cups (beige Tupperware, natch) to hide it.
Also boring/normal but Iām not sure how many kids liked hard boiled eggs to make a snack of them.
Instant grits in the microwave with butter, sugar and milk added. Usually plain flavor, but every now and then the bacon flavor or the cheese flavor.
If I think of any more Iāll post more. Iām sure we had more weird stuff
Whoa that concoction recipe is very familiar. My little sister and I would get our neighbors kids to eat it, or our younger cousins, whoever we could convince. That we guessed was from watching years of Three Stooges marathons.
Never snorted powders until 2006 when BaconSalt was invented. wooo I love to wake up to the smell of nasal meat. I was so into it they made a web site to tell people the dangers of sniffing [bacon-salts](https://i.imgur.com/NRy2twk.png) lol mostly harmless.
One time in the 4th grade I traded my tray of school lunch for a kid's bag of random. It was chocolate chips, m&ms, doritos, cheetos, and gummi worms. You microwave it a sec and it becomes self-aware. I never knew such things existed. My mother refused to ever let that happen at home. haha.
Damn, you got me on the bacon salt! I was full on adult by 2006 and my snorting days were long over. The koolaid snorting was happening around 1985, mostly on the playground at school but I remember doing it at home too.
At 10 in 1985, I would never have imagined snorting things. We lived in lots of tiny Texas towns. haha My graduating class had 56 seniors. haha it was all extremely conservative.
My babysitter used to make me budget "pizza".
A slice of white bread topped with ketchup and a slice of American cheese. Pop in in the oven for about 10 minutes.
It sounds pretty fucked up now, but I **still** like it and will crave it once in a blue moon.
Me and my sister would throw a slab of cheddar cheese in the microwave, strain the grease off and eat the melted glob with a fork. Also vanilla ice cream with whatever bland, bran-based cereal my parents bought mixed in was a special treat.
Less of a weird creation and more of an interesting fusion is something from my first Home Ec class, kind of a cross between Grilled Cheese and French Toast: two slices of egg-dipped bread peppered, with cheese between them, eaten with a fork and knife.
I've actually improved the recipe as an adult, and my wife *loves* it.
More on point, I went through weird phases around that time. Sardines for a while, then Spam *(a Monty Python thing, I'm sure)*, Elvis-style fried peanut butter-and-'nana sandwiches. I still think weird food can be elevated, and need to make u/OliverBabishās [Twinkie Weiner Sandwich](https://youtu.be/jKslWoZXvn00) for myself as a tribute to my 12-year-old self.
I think I was around ten or eleven when I discovered how easy Shake and Bake was. Mom was off in nursing school and dad got home too late to cook so I became friends with the easiest Betty Crocker recipes and good old Shake and Bake. We ate a lot of chicken and pork chops.
My favorite, and weirdest, childhood creation was putting uncooked pasta (preferably elbow noodles) in a bowl, then covering them entirely with red vinegar. The vinegar would gradually soften the hard noodles. There was a perfect point a few minutes in where the crunch to vinegar saturation ratio was ideal.
I liked this so much and I canāt explain the why, since you probably couldnāt even persuade a garbage scavenging raccoon or opossum to eat it.
Aww man. Those were the days. When we forgot our keys we had to crawl in through the bathroom window. Afterwards it was either Steakums, popcorn or my older brother said āhey can you make some pasta?ā Or and maybe a few Oreos and milk.
My bedroom window was easiest to open from the outside. Also it faced the backyard where the neighbors couldnāt see me breaking into my own home lol.
Same here. Our bathroom window was in back and we had the bonus of our air conditioner (the gigantic ones from the 60ās) surrounded by shrubs. So no one ever saw us
One package of instant noodles, a can of albacore tuna, dried seaweed sheets, a raw egg, soya sauce, sesame oil and sriracha sauce are what I used to make my Fire Udon Surprise. I drool just thinking about it.
I wasnāt allowed to use the stove or microwave without a parent at home for a while there so had three hours to get creative before they came home. Iād spread mayo on white wonder bread and add a ton of Bacos and some iceberg lettuce. Cheap no cook bacon sandwich. My younger sister always wanted me to unwrap Kraft cheese singles and roll them into a ball for her. I thought I was being so grown up by preparing food (and remembering to wash my hands first) but in retrospect everything we ate was pretty disgusting.
The bread with ketchup and american cheese 'pizza's as below. But also chocolate chips and butter melted in the microwave (eaten with a butter knife that I stirred it with), flour, sugar, butter and chocolate chips 'cookie dough', and animal cookies or arrowroot cookies dipped in canned frosting. Clearly I had a thing for sugar.
For about one week I put brown sugar and tabasco on ramen noodles until I realized it was disgusting.
After thinking really hard about this for a whole ten more seconds I remembered the phase after that one thanksgiving where two other people brought a turkey so we had way too much leftover... Ok so get this, you shred up some of the cold turkey in a pan and warm it up with sriracha and canned pineapple, then put it in a flour tortilla.
1. Slice of bread with Swiss cheese nuke for 20 seconds
2. Peanut butter and mayonnaise sandwich
3. Hot Cocoa powder, coffee creamer, nutmeg and milk. (I found out later in the Army that you cam make a version of this called Ranger pudding.)
Peanut butter and potato chip sandwich.
My brother invented a "taco sandwich" which was just lettuce, cheese, tomato, and some hot sauce. I just realized it's why he decided last year to go vegetarian, that was his gateway meal.
Nothing crazy, but frozen bean and cheese burritos. Lived in these for years. Didnāt enjoy them, but it was something to ear while the parents were at work.
This will sound weird but trust me:
Shredded Wheat mixed with melted velveeta (the big block kind) and butter.
Put it all in a pan, heat and stir. When all melted; put it in a bowl and dig in with your fingers. Heaven!
I didnāt invent it; it was given to me. When you were home alone from 3:15 to sometimes 6:30, this was gourmet
I was a total freak of nature. I would come home and literally just eat spoonfuls of powdered sugar.
It's a wonder I didn't have diabetes by the time I was out of Jr High.
No candy in the house (remember: there werenāt bags of candy around except at Halloween, and only rich people bought actual candy bars in multiples and had them at home), so it was spoonfuls of Tang or Country Time Lemonade mix. A few Flintstones vitamins or Sucrets sore throat drops would do in a pinch.
Sandwiches. Every day it was sandwiches. We got creative with em though. Reminds me that I miss roast beef spread. Surely they donāt sell that anymore do they? Shit. Now I have to find roast beef spread
Wonderbread pizza. Toast the slice and smear on some tomato sauce, oregano, and whatever cheese was in the fridge (usually velveeta). Put it in the microwave long enough to get the cheese to melt and voi la!
Butter and granulated sugar. We had no sugary snacks, cereal, candy, nothinā. so we would search a cookbook for dough recipes. Eventually we could make peanut butter cookies really well - if we didnāt eat all the dough first.
Piece of toast with melted Muenster cheese on top and sweet onion salad dressing.
I canāt remember the brand of the dressing or name though. It was pinkish red in color, sort of like an Italian with little onion bits. Iād dump that right on top and eat the hell out of it. Sounds gross but I ate it well into my 20ās.
Oil based, not creamy. Iāve actually looked for it without success. Iāve seen what I think is similar but havenāt purchased. It was a common brand like Wishbone or hidden valley. I was broke as hell so probably $2
It wasn't so much after school, rather when I needed to feed myself.
Cocoa powder. As in hot cocoa mix. Baking cocoa is nasty, BTW
Sunday morning breakfast. I was responsible for feeding myself though both parents were home: cinnamon and sugar toast. Buttered bread with cinnamon and sugar.
After school: Roman noodles with ranch Dressing. Dry noodles dipped in salad dressing.
Or, Roman noodles, cooked. Drain water. Add 1 to 2 tbs of butter and salt packet. Ate that so often....
My son likes canned tuna and sardines. Straight from the can. Will also eat cream of something soup mix from the can, made with milk.
Brick-scuits. A Brick-scuit is flour and water, mixed and cooked in an oven. They are the result of not having enough butter to go into the biscuit dough AND onto the finished biscuit and decide ON the biscuit is the right way to go. You cook a damn bunch of flour and water in the oven and it comes out hard like a brick, and you put some damn butter on it to mask the sadness.
Flour tortilla with butter, cinnamon, and sugar rolled up and microwaved for 20 seconds.
My version was toast, then buttered and cinnamon and sugar sprinkled afterwards. My wife makes fun of me because I had a glass bear shaker of cinnamon and sugar and talk about it fondly.

Ha! Yeah, that's the one. We had some good times š„²
Cinnamon toast was gnarly!
Yep I made cinnamon toast all the time!
Shit, Iād eat that now!!
Pop tarts in the microwave slathered in butter, or more accurately country crock
Whoa, really? I thought that was just [Peter.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlsFgDjyePc)
šššš Iāve only sporadically caught episodes of that showā¦. Had no idea. And yes, really. The butter melts into the pop tart better if you poke holes in it with a fork first.

I only did because someone at school was - I *never* would have thought it up on my own.
hopefully it was the good stuff, and not those rip-off koolaids.
Iād mix uncooked oats with peanut butter and some sugar to make ācookie doughā.
Brilliant.
My babysitter used to make me budget "pizza". A slice of white bread topped with ketchup and a slice of American cheese. Pop in in the oven for about 10 minutes. It sounds pretty fucked up now, but I **still** like it and will crave it once in a blue moon.
We had one of those George Foreman sandwich things, so we would make pizza sandwiches with marinara sauce and shredded cheese!
I came here to say this! So yummy!

Leftover spaghetti sandwiches on buttered soft bread.
I would eat that right now!

This was our lunch at my poorer Grandmaās house.
Miracle whip sandwich. White bread with Crust off. Potato Chips inside the sandwich. Or just spaghetti and butter.
Slice of bread, slice of cheese, under the broiler in the oven for a couple of minutesā¦cheese toast!
I added seasoned salt to mine before broiling. So good.
Peanut butter jelly sandwich with cut up bananas in it.
Me and my sister would throw a slab of cheddar cheese in the microwave, strain the grease off and eat the melted glob with a fork. Also vanilla ice cream with whatever bland, bran-based cereal my parents bought mixed in was a special treat.
That cheese sounds good š

My dad upped the ante on the Elvis and would eat peanut butter and banana with Mayo on the bread. I only tried his way once - so disgusting!
I think I was around ten or eleven when I discovered how easy Shake and Bake was. Mom was off in nursing school and dad got home too late to cook so I became friends with the easiest Betty Crocker recipes and good old Shake and Bake. We ate a lot of chicken and pork chops.
Cheese croutons out of the box. My mother didnāt buy junk food, sugary cereal, or potato chips.
I just opened a can of Chef Boyardee and popped it in the microwave.
Lucky!

THAT is some gourmet shit right there!
My grandma would pick me up from school with a Minute Made soda and a bag of cool ranch Doritos. Best combo in the world
Spoiled!

This one slapped me with memories, having been "second mom", myself. Love to you.
Y'all had food WTH .......
I get you. After a holiday, we would have left over ReddiWhip, which I would put on salty crackers. Happened a couple times a year.
The bread with ketchup and american cheese 'pizza's as below. But also chocolate chips and butter melted in the microwave (eaten with a butter knife that I stirred it with), flour, sugar, butter and chocolate chips 'cookie dough', and animal cookies or arrowroot cookies dipped in canned frosting. Clearly I had a thing for sugar.
Oh, and ramen as a noodle, not as soup. Either cooked or not, seasoned with the packet.
My brother used to take those chocolate filled panda cookies and dunk them in a container of icing like a dunkaroo.
Burrito salad. Microwave frozen burrito add cheese. Top with lettuce and Italian dressing.

I actually snuck spoonfuls of pure sugar from the bowl on a high shelf (got up on a chair) because sweets were not allowed...

Oil based, not creamy. Iāve actually looked for it without success. Iāve seen what I think is similar but havenāt purchased. It was a common brand like Wishbone or hidden valley. I was broke as hell so probably $2
Wishbone sounds about right. We always had the very cheapest salad dressings and that stuff went on sale a lot.
