What are some of the, at one time common, things you used to eat and enjoy, but are now, either no longer available, or are considered weird? For me, I remember enjoying these:
Head cheese, picked pigs feet, potted meat sandwiches, sandwichs made from ground bologna to which Miracle Whip and sweet pickle relish were mixed in, A & W Root Beer from the gallon, glass jug, A&W Root Beer Floats from the A&W Root Beer stand, Burgers carried to the car and placed on the side window by young ladies on roller skates, Steak sandwich made from a grilled New York Strip, place between two slices of white bread, with A1 Steak Sauce (at a little hole-in-the-wall restaurant on Broadway Ave., in San Diego), the Paul Bunyon Half pound burger served at Antler's REstaurant in my home town, or the 3/4 lb. Big C at Clyde's Drive in, again in my home town, Deep Fried burritos at Jack in the Box, Pigs in the blanket made with whole hot-dogs wrapped in fresh, yeasty bread dough (in grade school hot lunch program), squeeky cheese curds from a local cheeese factory (no longer exists), great strawberry malts from department store soda jerks, PDQ rgg Nog, or Chocolate Beads, pop rocks, baseball bubble gum.
Finally, I remember getting freshly made popcorn balls, and caramel apples at on Halloween without having to worry about whether the food was safe.
Our world has changed, and I don't think for the better. I'd trade in my cell phone, and computer to have the freedom and community trust that was enjoyed when i was a boy.
That's about all I can remember right now.
