Gosh I can't remember the first time I had chinese or pizza but I do know where I would have had candy floss - the one and only time - it was just too sweet for me. Thanks for the linkup on the food photography. I'll be heading over to my pinterest board to put it on there (now to just remember my password, lol).<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328228070357271563.post-9441454164048566822012-11-12T20:17:55.957+00:002012-11-12T20:17:55.957+00:00This is a great list, it's reminded me of how ...This is a great list, it's reminded me of how my dad used to give us cornflakes with hot milk, yuk!Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138701426913307085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328228070357271563.post-80607791678986928882012-11-11T19:55:03.562+00:002012-11-11T19:55:03.562+00:00Intriguing idea :) As others have said, I can'...Intriguing idea :) As others have said, I can't really remember my first pizza/Chinese/candy floss, but I can certainly remember trying root beer and corn dogs (neither are experiences I want to repeat!)

Thanksgiving is just around the corner here in the States--a celebration of family, food, and football.

As an American, I grew up on pizza and even though I can't tell you the FIRST time I ate it, I do remember the first time I ate some that was so good I still remember it! And I think I was about 7 years old at the time.<br /><br />Doug would appreciate meal time in your house! So many times I make him wait to eat so I can take pictures.

It's pure sugar, but a small amount is spun very "big."
