Is there any food that you enjoyed as a child that might be considered odd today?

My grandmother used to give me noodles and cottage cheese. I guess it’s similar to noodles and ricotta, except more lumpy.

Also, sometimes she would make a jello salad with jello, cottage cheese and canned fruit. She’d make the jello and let it set about halfway, and then mix in the cottage cheese and fruit and let it set all the way, in the refrigerator. I liked it. Some people today might find it odd or disgusting. In the 50’s and 60’s, jello salads were very popular.

Sometimes she would boil beef bones and give me the marrow on a Ritz cracker. That was unusual, for the time, I think but today is a gourmet appetizer in some fancy restaurants.
