Family foods I thought was normal
Such a great and funny thread, lots of nostalgia...
We put ketchup on anything and everything: fish, steak, hot dogs, whatever. Except for pork chops, which were served with applesauce.
My Nana buttered all sandwiches, too. She'd also always butter pasta before adding red sauce (at home, though, we never added butter if there was red sauce).
The best was when we'd get tuna fish sandwiches with potato chips on white bread. You'd add the chips and then squish the sandwich down with your palm to break the chips. Mmmm.
What was your favourite childhood concoction, which you now think is disgusting?
When I was maybe 8 I used to mix equal amounts of lemonade and orange juice, add loads of sugar, and drink it with a spoon. Ugh, what was I thinking?
That's pretty much it; I was funny about mixing foods together and liked to have everything separate, so there wasn't a lot of concocting going on.
Where have you always had a bad meal?
India Palace in Union Square. Gave it a go a couple of times; the last time I tried, we had it delivered, and the fried items smelled like sewage. It was so foul!
Lately I find Punjabi Dhaba to be inconsistent. Had an amazing meal a few months ago, went back a week later and the food was disappointing. They're still my favorite for the price, though.
Goes without saying that Cheesecake Factory is awful. If I'm roped into going there it's all about trying to find the least-terrible thing on the menu.
