What food features in your earliest memory of eating?

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.

yes, it was very disappointing! i probably spit some out and got yelled at and that's why i remember it :-/

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.

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