Pepperoni, Cheddar Cheese, And Ritz Crackers
My Favorite Childhood Snack
One slice of meaty pepperoni,
And one slice of creamy cheddar cheese,
Between two crunchy and salty Ritz crackers.
***
Like a savory Oreo,
Only you can’t buy it preassembled.
***
No clue how I came to love this combo,
But my first memories of it were at a Girl Scout day camp I attended in the summer.
***
It was during snack time, of course.
We sat on the ground,
Enjoying the food our moms prepared for us.
***
I had the tastiest snack of all,
And even shared with a couple of girls,
Who enjoyed it greatly.
***
It always circles back to childhood,
Those foods we love or hate,
Doesn’t it?
***
As I write this,
I can’t help but crave this nostalgic treat.
Maybe someday I’ll once again indulge.

That was a lovely piece. It sounds good to, like a mini,crunchy pizza. Well done.
My husband loves Ritz and eats them with ice cream! I love them with cheese or with PB&J. Partake again, enjoy them!!
Great entry.
