Growing up my folks would make ground up cooked hamburger mixed with thick brown gravy, fried potatoes, and Van Camp Pork n Beans.
It was my habit to mix it all together in one big heap and my father used to say it looked like a Dog's Breakfast! So when I started my own family I would make this for dinner and pile it all up and we called it Dog's Breakfast!
I got a call from my daughters school once because this very question was posed to her class and her answer was Dog's Breakfast but without the corresponding explaination. The school wanted to know what I was feeding her?

I'm not a vegetarian. I love steaks, pork chops, chicken...My daughter tried it for a while and lasted about 11 months before giving in for some McDonald's chicken nuggests. I told her if those were the only meat on the planet, I would be a vegetarian :D

My favourite meal as a child was this tuna pasta bake filled with various (very thinly sliced) veggies that my mum would pretend were things other than veggies in order to get us to eat them. XD

I'm not a vegetarian. We tried vegetarianism but the boyfriend found he couldn't live without his daily meat intake so that was the end of that!

Nope :P

2. My favourite meal as a child was Frosties (or Frosted Flakes); still love them!

I've had times where I wouldn't eat meat for a few days/weeks (even a few months one time) since I was 6 and learned where meat came from, but I only became a vegetarian a couple of years ago; I've been a vegetarian solidly for a little over 2 years now (coming up for 2 and a half).
