What is the best food memory you have ?

A memory from my childhood is rice pudding topped with cinnamon/sugar and then a browed melted butter sauce. It's not a mix of flavours that you ever forget and turns a rice pudding into something quite luxurious.

Did you fight with your siblings over who got the skin on the rice pudding, we did and it was always the oldest that got their way
 
my fav was peanut butter sandwich as a child, as a grown up, a mango shared with my hubby and a towel on a hot summer afternoon.lol
 
After the previous thread I have to admit that where live - 5 miles from the German border, 7 miles from the French border and 10 miles from the Belgian border - we are close to some of the best restaurants in Europe. And we do eat out regularly. But there are still many of the things I was brought up with that make my mouth water when I think of them (cabbage, sprouts and spring greens notwithstanding). Thick slices of buttered toast with lots of butter, done in front of an open coal fire; my mother's apple pie with custard; fish and chips wrapped in newspaper; Melton Mowbray pork pies; Eccles cakes; homemade trifle; Cornish pasties; jelly and blancmange with evaporated milk; oh goodness, I have to stop here, I'm drooling all over the keyboard and I'm afraid I'll electrocute myself.
 
Chocolate sauce is a B*gger to get out of the good sheets!
Can look like skid marks!!
 
Best food memories....

When I was little, my Mum's home made fish n' chips watched in front on the TV watching the wrestling on a Sat evening......We rarely ate out,as it was too expensive when I was young, but I do remember having tea in a cafe somewhere in the Edinburgh area......sausage, steak and gravy pie and to this day I still remember how delicious it was.
Summer ball at a Sergeants Mess in Germany....so many good things I couldn't possibly mention them all, but the spicy prawns were especially amazing from the fish bar....

Well senor NCOs always have the best grub/cooks. When I was on detachment (in my student days) the grub was always better in my mates (NCO) mess than ours (Officers)
 
Clear and strong memories of both my mother's and grandmother's creme caramels
plus their lump free creamy custard .
Also their own homemade rice puddings and egg custards
NEVER ate the pastry though - just scooped out the egg custard !
Grandma and mum were big believers in making as much as possible homemade
from scratch .
 
"Activity" also burns up calories - every time you fancy a piece of chocolate cake, reach for your man instead!

Goodness - I hope this is an "adults only" thread !

Why are my smilies always going back to the beginning of this post??
 
Can't see any smilies at all in your post. I had that problem too to start with but I don't know what I did to get them under control
I'm sure someone else will know though
 
getting the diabetes under control was easy in comparisson to getting them smileys down to an acceptable level

this is just an opinion im not a smiley doctor or dsn (diabetic smiley nurse)

Yep, good to remember "activity" can lower bloods and make insulin more efficient.

Anyone had to have some carb after cough 'activity' having gone too low and shaky ?
Bowl of cornflakes I confess for me or a few crackers with jam !
Depending on BS reading of course
