what foods do you associate with your childhood?

My mother is Vietnamese so, I have a bowl of rice, noodles, or beef for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. You really do have a lot of answers from people from ethnic back rounds.

mashed up weetabix in milk warmed in microwave with sugar, with a cup of tea waiting on the table for when i got up for school.

I usually eat my country's traditional food on a daily basis, but when I think of my childhood, I reminisce on "Western" food because I grew up in these different countries. So foods that I associate with my childhood would include:

mac n cheese, pancakes with maple syrup, turkey and mayo sandwiches, chocolate eclairs (with whipped-cream inside, not custard), baked beans, and snacks like the Lion bar and Walker's cheese and onion crisps, as well as raspberry-flavored popcorn. Oh! and some ice creams like Paddlepop and the ones that have Super Mario Bros. or Kermit the Frog's face on it always remind me of my childhood. I still get them once in a while from ice-cream vendors and feel like a total kid when I do.

Oh man Oatmeal cooked in the Microwave.
Boxed Macroni cooked NOT using the directions
Chicken Wings and rice
Eggs fried in Olive Oil with bread (not toast) on the side
Laughing Cow Cheese Wedges
Cup O Noodles with an egg yolk in it

My mother was Swedish born so I'd say either homemade meatballs with mashed potatoes or Swedish pancakes were my favorites growing up. I was a really picky eater as a child so for the most part I didn't like her cooking (no offense mom if your reading this) but I loved those dishes. Of course I have to make those dishes myself now because I'm vegan..

Pasta - my mother was italian

string cheese.
I had the most fun eating that stuff as a kid.lol
