So I'm sitting here eating a jar of baby food →[More:] I wouldn't eat the stuff as a baby, so I gave it a try. Not bad. Lacking in texture perhaps.

Anyway, what were your favourite foods as a baby/toddler?

Pudding. They let us paint with pudding in Kindergarten, which was either a really good or really bad idea.

Blueberry Buckle and Hawaiian Delight.

I don't remember how I felt about these as a toddler, but I have 4 younger sisters, 6 nieces and nephews and a kid of my own. I've eaten a lot of baby food.

Offal.

Well, 'course back on the farm, that's all they threw in our pen. So it was either that or devour your weaker siblings.

Yes, it was a hard life in rural Scarbrough, but it had it's rustic charms too.

My kids liked mixed vegetable babyfood, which I thought meant they would grow up to be sophisticated adults. They both would also eat onions and suck on lemon slices. My kids are weirdly great.

I didn't have baby food, as such: my mom was poor & thought it was a waste, so she just put adult food in the bender. Apparently, I was a fan of peas and yogurt. I am still a bug fan of peas and yougurt. And bread.
