Blood.
Do you know how many bumps, bruises, and cuts a boy can get? There wasn't a rock or tree I couldn't climb, a tool in the garage I wouldn't use, a bike I couldn't wreck, or something fragile that I couldn't break. Not to mention all the fights I got into!
Ah, childhood! Sometimes I think it was simply amazing I survived!
Oh, yeah. Add Fanta Red Creme Soda to the list, along with pecan pie, lemon merangue pie, and ice cream sandwiches.

My childhood tastes like chocolate ice-cream on a cone with chocolate sprinkles, Sno cones, rainbow cookies and kit kats. Then there came a point where it tasted like rotten cheese and sour apple. But then it got better and started to taste like chocolate ice cream with chocolate sprinkles again. ;0)

The taste of sweet smelling empanadas!

Pineapple Sherbet. When I was young my mom, sis and I went to the movies every Saturday..just before we went to the theater, we'd stop off at an ice cream shop across the street from the theater and get ice cream. I remember that I used to love sherbet, especially pineapple. Once I got a 4-scooper! So pineapple sherbet pretty much brings back my childhood! Happy Tuesday! :) ((hugs))

Just had a wonderful time reading all sorts of interesting, poignant, fun and "down memory lane" answers here. So on that basis alone .. thanks for a great time and a great question! :)
Going to have to go with a list, I think ..
-- my maternal grandmother's "anything" that came out of her kitchen. German. Short, stout and white apron. It was the SMELL that grabbed you, and we all wanted the TASTE .. well .. asap. Main dish to side dishes to relishes to desserts. Breads were always homemade. Oh, that was heavenly!!! No, anything out out of her kitchen was heavenly!! :)
-- grew up in the country and we grew lots of different vegetables. So "supper" meant a request to run out back and "get" whatever it was. Green beans or radishes or cucumbers or squash .. or my favorite .. and this is one of my favorite TASTES? Pick then shuck .. fresh ears of corn. YUM.
Shoot - and there's still tons more! Remember those big red "fireballs" .. that were white by the time you got the middle of them .. hot at the start? lol Or the taste of 'SAMOREs???
And the tastes at summer picnics where we all knew who would bring what - potluck style - as they were "known for" that dish and we all looked forward to having it!
And fireman's carnivals .. and the taste of cotton candy
But somehow it's all rolled in together .. from BBQ 1/2 chicken at a community event .. to those ears of corn. Er .. multi-tastes of childhood, I guess! :)

It would taste the way Crayola crayons smell. Add a dash of grape bubble gum, and a little bit of dirt.
by MrBLT needs to be contained on August 20th, 2008
Pot roast -
That is what I always wanted on my birthday when my Mom would make whatever I wanted for dinner :)

It would have to be "Peanut Butter" ... my constant companion and true friend growing up. My childhood would not have been the same without (the taste of) peanut butter! lol.

something like salsa
taken apart each aspect (ingredient) has its own particular dimension; some are bitter, plain, sweet, strong, dynamic...
but when you put it all together it's definitely a fiesta :D

Dark chocolate. I was dark and depressing, and my parents were peppy/happy. It was very odd.

If you expect more from folks than they are capable of/willing to give you then you will always be disappointed. Do you and have you? Why?

Do you ever let yourself become the excuse for someone else's distemper or do you bail immediately? If they follow you what do you do?

You're welcome!
by The Chief on August 19th, 2008
Wonderful answer. Enjoyed it, Chief! :) Say, did you save any of the bottle caps from that Fanta soda - or play with them at the time? :)
by debtahals wears a curiosity COAT on August 20th, 2008
Nope. My favorite source was fresh from the tap at one of my Aunt & Uncle's restaurants. And the rest of the time it was mostly found in cans at the store.

And I'm glad you enjoyed the answer!
