Foods We Enjoyed........
What do you remember?
Growing up, what foods do you remember as your favorites...food that your mother made that you loved! In my teenage years I worked on a private estate that did its own farming...I would go out into the field and pick an ear of raw corn and eat it...or some green beans..while driving past the grape arbor on the tractor I would pick a bunch of grapes and eat them. In the late summer we would mow the hay..I remember there was a wild cherry tree..I would pass under it with the tractor and stop and eat hand fulls of the cherries.Of course my cherry stained mouth gave me away.

Foods We Didn't Enjoy........(I didn't enjoy)
FRUITCAKE
I remember that almost every year, around Christmas,
we would have or get one of these...and I remember that I never did like them...It just seemed that
there was to much of every thing in it. 'Til this
day I still don't like them!

FRIED BEEF LIVER AND ONIONS
Here is something else that I never liked....
fried liver and onions...I loved the smell of it cooking
but I didn't like the mushy consistency of the liver.
FRESH TOMATO'S
I never liked fresh tomatoes, to hard to pick out the seeds....when I was in my teen's, the head gardener on the "Estate" that I worked on used to go into the garden with a salt shaker, and pick a ripe tomato and eat it like an apple. I do like tomato sauce, ketchup, tomato soup, even tomato's in vegetable soup.
The Comedian George Carlin said it best," A tomato is like a fruit that just isn't quite finished inside".

FOODS I LOVED THEN, AND STILL DO TO THIS DAY!
Special homemade foods that I would look forward to....
many of which my aunts would make when ever they came to visit...TRUE ..THESE ARE ETHNIC FOODS, BUT REGARDLESS OF YOUR NATIONALITY, DIDN'T YOU HAVE A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE.
