also in preschool - a can of planter's pretzels that sat tantalizingly on a shelf. i waited and waited for the pretzels to make an appearance (i loved pretzels) only to find out a few years later (when i asked someone about the pretzels) that the can was stuffed with broken crayons. there were never any pretzels, or at least they had been eaten long before the can entered my classroom. later i learned that the can was right in front of the "mirror" aka window where parents could spy on their preschoolers. child is disillusioned, news at 11.

also i remember eating an orange chapstick in the produce area of our grocery store. that's not food, but i definitely ate it and remember doing so.

Aaaaaand you just reminded me of the day I hid behind the couch and ate my mom's Chap-It brand chapstick although I've now forgotten whether it was Orange or Cherry. It was very disappointing--smelled much better than it tasted. Plus my mom (of course) found out and it was probably her only chapstick, the poor woman. I think she was probably laughing too hard to get very mad at me iirc.

Memories of anything that early in my life all float around in a time untethered from sequence. I do recall graham crackers and juice in kindergarten, so there is an anchor there to a particular year. I was aged 4 when I started kindergarten. I also recall having grilled cheese sandwiches and Campbell's tomato soup at lunchtime. I may have been a bit younger, but have no referent to what age I was.

I have a distinct memory of the taste of tapioca pudding which I'm pretty sure I only ever ate as a toddler

Crying after my tonsillectomy (age 5) because I had to have pudding and ice cream and couldn't have the spaghetti and garlic bread that everyone else was having.

Remember similar experience, though not what prompted it - tonsils are still there.
