Food from your childhood.
eternal
Sometimes I feel that people are drawn towards food because of what they were fed growing up. You could either try to recreate the taste or be repulsed by it. As adults, we can attempt to feel secure by surrounding ourselves with reminders of being young or 'safe'.
Growing up we always had roast chicken/lamb/beef on Sundays with desserts like Trifle, Lemon Meringue Pie or Baked Alaska. I never thought about it but as a comfort now I would eat those things. Is there any food you like because of your childhood? Or have you been completely turned off by certain foods you were force fed when young?

Cannot eat spaghetti bolognaise anymore because it was such a staple dish in my childhood completely repulsed even by the thoughts of the taste of it.
Never understood the obsession with it during the 80's and 90's, there's far nicer pasta dishes, but I suppose that boils down to preference.

Those weird little KVI brand 'pizzas' from Crazy Prices, with a spongy base and a bit of tomato sauce and cheese on top. They always tasted best when burnt to a crisp, thus killing the taste. If they were still around, I'd love to have one, just for the memories it would invoke.

there was a severe lack of food during my childhood. so i would eat deep fried rat, and be thankful for it. 20th century 2nd world problems.
