Old People Food
Posted by Tory, July 14, 2007 on 2:03 pm | In Amusements |I got my first cantaloupe at ALDI the other day ($1.49, up from the $0.99 it was for a while) and I strongly approve. I think I shied away from them cause I thought they were hard to slice. I don’t know why I thought a melon that turns soft as a tomato after a week at room temperature was hard to cut, but I did.
Anyway.
I think I also shied away because I think of cantaloupe as old people food.
You know? How you associate some foods with old folks? I haven’t seen anybody under 70 enjoy:
- Fried fish
- Coffee-flavored ice cream
- Black licorice
- Jell-O with anything but fruit in it
Am I the only one with old people food connotations? What do you think?

I think I enjoy fried fish very much, but I’m with you on the fruit filled Jell-O. Another 70+ favorite: prune juice.

Heh heh heh. Do they still make liver and onions? Isn’t that something like lard and aspic and snuff that they just don’t *do* anymore?

Yeah.. liver and onions and prune juice fo’ sho’.. having dinner at like 4:30-5:00..
Hey, I’m under 70 and I like coffee ice cream and Jell-O with fruit in it (try the Dole ones, they come in cups.. the best is cherry with mixed fruit). I really enjoy coffee, so there’s something to be said about a creamy, sweet coffee treat (I’m a poet, yo).
My mom was a health-food freak while I was growing up, so no fruits or anything like that have old people connotations.
