Dishes of the days bygone

As much as I can dig Coke Zero it ain't no regular Coke.

Coke Zero's actually kind of nasty.  It has a mediciney taste.

I was given a can Coke Zero for free to try when I was in Vegas.  It wasn't worth the price.

Me a glutton?

So what are some of the dishes you used to eat and enjoy a lot (perhaps as a child, or perhaps later on in your life), but don't anymore - maybe they take a lot of effort to make, or you can't eat them for health reasons or for some other reason?

For me it's:
- "racuchy" (sort of dough dumplings filled with slices of apple, deep fried and then sprinkled with powdered sugar and cinnamon),
- pancakes,
- fruit milkshakes.

The first two are too fattening, and I can't be arsed to make fruit milkshakes (and the ones available at restaurants are just not that good as the ones made by my grandma),.

apple pie
almost any kind of dessert when they have too much sugar.  Actually, I can eat the pie with ice cream, but without ice cream, it's just too much sugar for me.

I don't understand the concept of too much sugar.

Seems all the rage in SF and New York. See it in soda fountains all the time now.

Diet sodas are nasty. I don't think my caffeine addiction is strong enough to make me drink them.

I love Coke Zero.  Once you get used to diet, going back to regular is just too sugary.  I find it's Diet Coke (as opposed to CZ) that has a metallic taste.

I prefer Diet Coke to Coke Zero but I think I really like Diet Pepsi the best.     

Diet Dr. Pepper is OK.  I like Diet Mello-Yello a lot, and Diet Sundrop is pretty good.  I've been drinking a lot of Diet Cheerwine down here.

Everyone at the public defender's office drinks diet soda like there's no tomorrow.  I think diet cola is the new cigarettes.

I didn't know you could get Cheerwine in Tennessee.

Diet Coke's kind of crap, too, admittedly.  As is Diet Pepsi.

I've actually found the generic store brand diet sodas are better.  But I doubt you'd be caught dead drinking one.

Oh, and Diet Dr. Pepper is indeed tasty.  Regular Dr. Pepper is a syrupy abortion in a can.

Yeah, there's even billboards for it on the highway.  I had first had Cheerwine in N. Carolina and thought it was only available there-ish.  But this is East Tennessee, I don't know if it's statewide.  Like Food City is one of the biggest supermarket chains here but I gather it is basically Appalachia only.
