Eating memberberries

I keep forgetting that I don’t like Swiss cheese all that much.

I’ll happily eat a turkey and Swiss sandwich, but it’s not an enjoyable cheese.

An enjoyable cheese is a cheese you would eat on some crackers. Or eat with some rice. Or cut up into cubes to munch on.

When I was a kid, a Lunchable was a real treat to me. I only got them like a handful of times throughout my whole childhood, and every single time it was like I’d been given a special treat.

Honestly, I didn’t really like pairing my Lunchable with a class field trip. I would have rather enjoyed special food on a regular day so that I could more closely focus on munching on those crackers with meat, with cheese, and with a blob of Dijon mustard.

I was such a big fan of those round pieces of lunch meat. I don’t think I’ve found the exact same thing outside of a Lunchable.

And if I have come across the same thing, I haven’t recognized the flavor because those Lunchables from yesteryear have the flavor of nostalgia.

They were simple trays of crackers, cheese, meat, a single-serving of mustard, a napkin, and an Andes mint.

I didn’t need a Capri Sun in my Lunchable. I preferred the cracker meals and the Andes mint always brought me joy.

I have a particular fondness for Andes mints. They were the after dinner candy our favorite diner would give out when we paid the bill.

That restaurant is a core memory for me.
