Memory laden food
I responded to a question about foods that bring back home memories, with this:
Food item that brings back many fond memories but that I could NOT eat now:
My birthday 'cheesecake', every year from ages 8 until about 16. This was not actual cheesecake - I did not even discover that there was such a thing until my late teens. When I first heard that you baked real cheesecake I was horrified: "It would MELT!", I thought.
My mom's cherry cheesecake was a graham cracker crust, topped with a mixture of cream cheese and cool whip, and then topped with cherry pie filling, and chilled. Me and my siblings got to pick our dinner and dessert of choice for our birthdays (my dinner was lasagna, which my mom still does a great job with).
But that cheesecake.... way too sweet for my palate nowadays.
Food item with history that I would surely eat.... my dad's chili, served up with garlic bread. And, on the other side of the sweetness spectrum, my grandma's raisin pie at xmas. Yum.
