Childhood Food

Prompt: Food
Which food you eat that makes you remember something happy or sad? Or what food do you eat to feel happier?

My husband and I were just speaking about childhood memories of food. I suppose like every country each district/county/state/region have their own special/weird food likes or dislikes.
My favourite childhood memories of food back in England were of being sick in bed. Those were the days before immunisations and all kids got everything. Measles, mumps, scarlet fever, Chicken pox etc, so I was often really poorly and not eating. My mum used to try everything to make me eat. I remember she made what she called ‘pobs,’ which was simply bread torn up into manageable size pieces (thinking sore throat) with warm milk poured over the bread, to soften it, and a sprinkle of sugar.
But my favourite thing to eat was a soft, sliced, white bread tomato sandwich with lots of salt. Both those things made me feel cared for, loved, safe.
