Do you ever forget that you like certain foods?

The breakfast question reminded me that I love poached eggs on toast, and I’d forgotten that I do, or that they exist. I also recently remembered that I love creamed herring. Not with lots of stuff in it, just creamed herring with thinly sliced onions cut up in the sauce. I checked prices online and OMG it’s gone up! but I did find a place called Ma Cohens, I think in Detroit, that has 16 oz for $10 which is very reasonable! Another place wanted $35 for 22 oz!
So what do you love but sometimes forget that you love it?

All the time! But I never remember until it appears in front of my. Recently I’ve seen a few Peruvian food stalls while in Berlin which reminded me of how much I love Lomo Saltado with my entire soul
Tuna melt. I used to have it a lot when in Florida and I had forgotten how much I enjoyed it.
I love tuna melts, and forgot about them! Had to look up Lomo Saltado and it sounds delicious – beef stir fry. I found a great-sounding recipe, too!
For years I forgot I like my meatloaf. I was married about fifteen years when I suddenly decided to make meatloaf for my husband for the first time and he LOVES my meatloaf. His mother would never make meatloaf, she hates ground beef, so I think it was his first time he ever had meatloaf in his life.
A tuna melt is a grilled cheese sandwich that is stuffed with tuns fish salad between the cheese.
^^ I make it open faced with tuna salad on the bread and one layer of cheddar then run under the broiler.
@smudges it’s truly elite in my opinion! I have never been so dedicated to fine tuning a recipe to remind me of my travels then of this (I can’t get Aji Amarillo chillies at home, so I spent like 3 days trying to figure out how to best mimic the flavour profile with what I have at my disposal
I’m thinking of foods that I used to eat when I was little, which I stopped eating for various reasons but they were good and bring back fond memories. One was my mom used to make me soft cooked eggs, which I would eat in an egg cup and dip toast into it.
Another was noodles and cottage cheese, which was just flat egg noodles mixed in with some cottage cheese. It may sound odd but it’s very similar to ricotta cheese, just soft and creamy and it warms up when it’s mixed in with the noodles. My grandmother used to make that.
My mom used to make tuna casserole, which is kind of lika a topic of jokes in the United States but I liked it. She’d just take a can of Campbell’s mushroom soup, and mix it with a can of tuna and mix that with elbow macaroni and bake it. I think that was pretty much it. I haven’t made that as an adult because my teenage daughter would think it’s gross and I would end up not eating it all and it would be a waste.
Penguin that’s what my mom call “tuna rarebit”.
Another thing that I like but I don’t eat too often because sometimes it’s hard to find is liverwurst. When I was little, my mom used to get this liver pate in a can and the brand was Underwood.

My mother ate things which today might not be so common, but my grandmother (my mother’s mother) was Eastern European and so what they ate was sometimes a little “out there.” My mom grew up with stuff like liverwurst, and so I did, too. I like a liverwurst sandwich with lettuce and mustard.
No. Name a food and I can tell you immediately if I like it or not unless I’ve never heard of or been exposed to it.
No, but I forget about foods that I hate, and I end up eating again.
