Every day. This was during the era when things were available only randomly in Russia, so my parents had to scour the city looking for hot dogs. <BR/><BR/>Otherwise, I was never picky. I'm still not picky, although I'm vegetarian, which limits what I eat, obviously. I disliked eggs (still do) and boiled buckwheat (hate it with a passion. It's THE only food I absolutely will not eat, ever), but ate absolutely everything else. I loved cucumbers and lettuce and tomatoes with salt. Bananas were only available in May, and I'd eat 2-3 in a sitting. Tangerines were only available in December and January, and I'd eat them one after the other as a snack while reading. Another thing I loved eating was dried, salted bread. I still love that, and buy little packages of it, like chips, whenever I'm back in Russia<BR/><BR/>My weirdest favorite snack was <I>vobla</I>, which is whole fish, head and organs intact, salted and dried. I looooved that stuff. You peeled off and ate the meat kind of like string cheese. It was salty and pungent. I tried it again as an adult, and wasn't nearly as crazy about it.

When I was sick and home from school - which happened frequently - my dad would serve me saltines, canned oysters and sardines for lunch with cheese. I LOVED it and that was the only time in my whole childhood that it ever happened.<BR/>Great post, really. I love food.Beckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13953517447164263617noreply@blogger.com
