Raisins

I used to snack on raisins all the time. Was something I had around in perpetuity but, somehow, stopped buying them over the years. Last time I bought any was probably a decade ago. Few days ago I grabbed a medium-size container because I happened to notice them on sale. Popped a mouthful a few minutes ago and was instantly reminded how much I love the dang things. Befuddles me why I stopped getting them.

Any of you reprobates rediscover some food or snacky thing that got lost to time?

1/4 kilo filet, medium rare; baked with sour cream topping; stringbeans with olive oil which was recently near a touch of garlic; house salad, house dressing; variable dessert; glass clinking toast to my young lady's beauty.  I haven't had that for a while, don't know why.

I used to use every trip to the gas station as an excuse to buy a Suzy Q. Stopped doing that a long time ago. When I tried one again a few years ago, it was completely underwhelming. I guess they changed something.

I've never forgotten them, but I really can't have them around.

Pretzels.

I'm Pennsylvania German, so that pretty much means that I MUST, but birth and constitution, love pretzels.

And I do.

And if I have them around, I simply can't stop eating them.
