Does anyone remember their favorite foods?

Can I ask what country that second dish is from? That sounds delicious
All of these dishes I describe here are typical German. But I acctually would correct this bacon-ting, as it was not really bacon, like most of us think about bacon today. But it was some kind of salty and smoked ham, that was fried in a pan before we put it on the hazelnut dumplings.

We germans had a lot of very good food, you see. Sausages, steak, kraut, bread, butter, cheeses, marmelades, strudel, kuchen with fruits, berries and a lot of wipped cream... And drinks like beer, wine, weinebrandt, krauterlikör. And I remember that eating well, was a very important thing to us. Eating and drinking was said to be the porpous of life.

A little while ago, I had a pretty clear image of myself in England almost 400 years ago enjoying a small loaf of sourdough bread, which was one of my favorite foods then. I could practically taste the smoke from the oven it was cooked in and it was phenomenal.

Any foods you remember not liking are welcome too!

I currently have fresh kaiser rolls in the pantry and I've been thinking about eating all of them for the last 45 minutes :D
Poutine, beavertails and a rich cafe au lait for me. I didn't think on it until i realized I had a past life in Montreal.

They're fried dough with a cinnamon sugar. They're called that because they look like a beaver tail. Goes great with coffee.

I thought you meant an actual beaver tail. I didn't think they were even edible :D
 
Something named saloop that was pretty popular in England (although declining in popularity when I lived there). It is a drink made of milk, sugar and dried and ground up orchid root. You can still find it in Turkish / Arabian stores!
