Nostalgic food from childhood by Kaye Spencer #nostalgicfood #homemadepizza #firestarpress

     

 

Anyone else remember having Appian Way Pizza when they were a kid? Appian Way was my first exposure to pizza. This would have been in the mid-1960s. 

My mom made it on Friday nights or special occasions, such as for Halloween supper. When I was old enough to not make a total mess in the kitchen, I enjoyed spreading out the dough. It was such a treat.

The grocery store in my little town doesn't carry Appian Way Pizza, so I bought a two-pack on Amazon for a ludicrous price, but what can I say? I can't put a price on childhood memories. 'wink'

It rolled out just as I remembered - the oil on the pizza pan made the dough slippery and resistant to smooshing-out, but it was every bit as fun to do now as it was all those years ago. It certainly wasn't as tasty as my taster-memory recalled, but it wasn't a complete culinary disappointment, either.

 

When you've revisited foods from your childhood, has your taster-memory been disappointed or was the food as good as you remember?

Until next time,
