>He said Italian was exotic

Once upon a time, it was. That's why Chef Boyardee was so successful. This new pasta-and-tomato-sauce thing was strange and new, and tasty.

It does seem that your ex's grandfather must have been reclusive, though. Italian / Italian-American food has now been common here for decades.

>>8569171
My grandmother wouldn't eat Mexican, Greek, or Italian food (or any other ethnic food) because it was "too ethnic", but then again she was born in 1900 and has been dead for over twenty years.

Not eating habit, but some anon posted a story about their aunt or great aunt who had lived in Korea during the Korean war with her military husband. They liked the kimchi there and when they went back to whereever the fuck they were in America, they would make kimchi and rice. Except they made it with rice, plain cabbage, and jalapenos.

My mom moved to the U.S. from Japan in 1976. I When I was a kid, she would sometimes take out a few slices of bologna, cut them up, grab the pieces with chopsticks and dip them into wasabi and/or soy sauce. She also ate a ton of Maruchan cup noodles. I guess that's one way to do cultural fusion.

A significant fraction of my family lives in Minnesota. I have never had Somalian food so one of my missions on my last trip was to taste it. They're all decently well traveled and I assumed they were up to the task, but the whole time we were eating it was nonstop Al Qaeda and anthrax jokes. The lady serving us didn't say a word but she obviously heard everything.

Never again, next time I'll demand we go to Perkins and avoid an hour of cringe.

anyone else got parents or grandparents that "cook" by throwing meat into a pot and boiling it and its techincally cooked all the way through but all the flavor got left in the stinky grease water and you gotta sit there like "mmm its tender" and wait for them to turn their back so you can season it with goddamn anything so it tastes at least like salty rubber instead of just rubber

We drank black coffee, ate white bread with cheese, she made the best omelette. Tons of cream in it, topped with chives.
We played cards, watch tv, looked after her only tomatoplant.
In the evening I might get a small glass of port.
I was 10 yo.
Didnt shower for weeks.
Sometimes she would take her fake teeth out and make fun with them.
Damn, I miss her.

My grandmother would let whole milk sit out on the counter until it partially solidified and then drink it. She called it "clabber milk."

That episode of Family Guy where Tom Tucker dates Peter's mom and takes both of them to McDonald's she orders a Filet O' Fish and a Sanka. That always made me laugh because that was one of my grandma's favorite fast food combos - fish sandwich and decaf coffee lol.

Similar story with less outright rudeness, but my sibling took the family to the Afghani restaurant in Arlington VA each and every visit we'd do there, and we all loved it, but when not there in their faces, my brother nicknamed it The Taliban restaurant, I'm sure the owners had some kind of persecuted reason to be immigrants that wasn't all terroristy scary at all, maybe even some third generation descendants of diplomats or something, or they might even have been from somewhere else entirely, but the food was simply delicious, especially the rices and hot sauces.

On a similar note, you couldn't pay me to ever have Ethiopian food again, not even once more. Their food is like intentionally opposite and contrary spice and sweetness profiles. Sugar in the eggs and spinach, hot spice in the fruit. The injera bread is like someone let a pancake sit in water and mold over. Horrible. I think people who like it have never had good middle eastern or asian food and just think they like it just for being different.

I'm not a pleb. I've had it a dozen times every time some guest of mine was like "let's get Ethiopian!" when I lived in DC, so yea I know all the dishes, and not just a first impression. I don't like gluten free spongy pancakes to dip into food, give me an India kulcha or lavash, anyday. I don't eat raw beef in restaurants with a bunch of butter. This cuisine isn't even common to actual Ethiopians, it's survival food they might enjoy once a year. And, what americans did to their soul food from heritage african dishes fixed whatever was wrong with Ethiopian food in the first place. Ham hocks and chili peppers in my collards, with hot pepper vinegar to finish, is much preferred to sugar, allspice and ginger.

I haven't traveled to West Africa either, which, incidentally, is where most American slaves came from, but I have had the food and it is in no way similar to Ethiopian food. Are you actually trying to suggest soul food is based on injera and kitfo?
Also

I did. This seems to be the only thing you actually do understand. How is it so hard for you to believe Ethiopian food isn't very good to my very educated palate? I think it's all a big mush eaten with mushy gluten-free bread. I like gluten, and since Indian breads have it, I'll not be saying they are the same thing. Kulcha is as different from a pappadam which is as different from a busted up shirt in the Caribbean. I'll take crepes or buckwheat blinis over injera bread. I'll even eat poi again over that nasty bread. Stop whining that you like what I don't like. I absolutely think the evolution of soul food in America indeed did fix what was wrong with heritage African foods, mainly because they weren't living in a desert anymore and not confined to it.

My great grandma didn't believe that food could spoil, and that "food spoilage" was all a scam to make you throw out perfectly good food and buy more.

There's a story my family tells about some Fawlty Towers style farce at a dinner party, in which they had to switch out a roast turkey she was gonna serve that was so far gone it had green veins, for a new one they bought and snuck in, all while distracting her. Like most of my family stories it's certainly embellished to being 99% or total bullshit, but whatever.

My grandpa lived to be 95, he'd put salt on everything and every meal would either be served with a can of soda or coffee or he wouldn't eat it. Like the man would go through a full shaker of salt by himself in like 2-3 months.

Ethiopian food has about as much to do with american soul food as punjabi food has to do with general tso's chicken.

Taste is subjective and you are entitled to have shit opinions about food, but when you start making objectively false claims to "justify" your shit taste, it's time to stop instead of digging in your heels and trying to act like a know-it-all.

>>8569171
My Grandpa doesn't eat at all, and when he is forced to he only eats 1/4 - 2/3 of it. It's most likely his medicine or his dementia, since he used to eat just fine before.

When my grandpa was a child (1950s), the diner in his hometown had a special burger sauce made from ketchup, mustard, and soysauce. It's been decades since he lived there, but he still makes it at home and demands it whenever he goes out. It's embarassing and somewhat sad; he's not exactly nice about asking for it and I'm certain his special sauce comes with boogers, spit and cum from the brown waitstaff.

My grandfather was from the backwoods hills of Kentucky. I used to see him buy those giant jars of pickled rope bologna, and just eat it, as one enormous piece. When he was finished, he boiled as many eggs as would fit and crammed them into the remaining liquid and stored them in a sunny spot on the kitchen counter, and start eating on them after just a few days.

My grandpa's favorite snack was a toasted Hershey bar and butter sandwich. I've never gotten around to trying one, but I'm sure it's both delicious and disgusting at the same time.

Yeah man. I've been hanging out with my grandpa a lot lately. The guy's "allergic" and "sensitive" to everything, so idk how but I guess I convinced him to try a banh mi one time and now he loves banh mi's.
Despite the fact that he always asks them to hold the bbq sauce, the cilantro, and the peppers, so I guess all that's left if carrots cucumber and meat. Weird guy.

Old Catholics love that shit. I bet they hate the new Pope too.

My grandfather grew up in the depression on a farm that was pretty heavily effected by the dust bowl.

When my grandmother died he had no idea how to cook.

When I would go to his house things I saw him make for himself over and over again were:

ketchup and mustard butter milk

litterally a glass of cold butter milk with ketchup and mustard squeezed into and then lightly stirred with a fork. Not enough to blend but enough so as you drank you got "strings: of ketchup and mustard

Onion sandwhiches

1/2" thick slice of raw red onion on white wonderbread with mayo and mustard.
DESU when I get drunk I always crave these for some horrible reason

"savory" shredded wheat

shredded wheat, the kind with out the frosting pn one side. Add water till it almost floats then microwave for like eight fucking minutes add salt and pepper and enjoy! wtf?

HOT DOGS HOT DOGS HOT DOGS

>1/2" thick slice of raw red onion on white wonderbread with mayo and mustard.
My Georgia raised grandfather used to make a thick vidalia onion sandwich, with I believe just simply mayo, but knowing him it was Durkee's sandwich spread (which was a mustardy mayo with other spices. Sometimes I think it was just to make my grandmother really upset like get-away-from-me with the onion breath generator. He liked to tease her. LOL.

As an adult, I realize it was James Beard's favorite sandwich too, and published in his cookbook in the mid 60s. His were tea sandwiches, rolled in parsley that stuck to the mayo, and chilled til cold and crisp.

oe god, my dad loved mashed taters, buiscuits n vegtables. n sourcrout n weenies, n corn bread. bout it.

>>8572765
It's a good thing we aren't eating the first batch of sour cream every time we eat sour cream then, huh sperglord?

My great-grandmother used to buy those mesh baggies of pungent ass white onions at the grocery store. With every meal, she'd cut off a good 1/4 to 1/3 wedge, not to be cooked with the food, but just so she could occasionally pick it up and take a huge bite out of it. She always had chronic onion breath because of it.

The fish thing was basically clarified in the Second Vatican Council as saying you don't HAVE to eat fish on Friday as it was just a specific form of penance for some people for whom eating red meat every day was a big deal (flyovers, basically). Other forms of penance were also acceptable, not necessarily even dietary.

But yeah reactionary tards who think that Mass should always be in Latin will go out of their way to show that they reject the official policy of the Church, which in their minds makes them Real Catholics™ even though doing this literally puts them on the same level in the eyes of God as nondenominational megachurch scum from the Bible Belt.

Not going to happen, we've hit peak advertisement. Advertisement works in 3 stages, discovery, reasoning, and feeling. First you announce that your product exists, then you give a reason why consumers would want the product, after that you try to sell the feeling. The closer you get to trying to sell a feeling the more you'll find competition among brands of similar products. You can still see this sort of advertising in places where people are trying to sell new things or ideas, places like kickstarter or magazines that showcase new tech.

He left Denmark in 1953 at aged 20 and the guy still sounds like he's fresh off the boat. It's hilarious. And I am understating the "Ya". It's more like "Yaaaaa". long and drawn out.

I'm sure he's quite he's upset you took his 200+ pound and growing bottomless pit off his hands.

hip bones gets displaced after a birth. that's how anthropologists can confirm a childbirth from skeletal remains, and why some women have bodies that look 'aged' even when they are fit with tight skin.

>>8576933
They age like milg
Disgusting

>>8577383
Idk. Twinkdeath comes sooner than girldeath, so I would say humanity in general is shit at aging. Good living helps though. I've met plenty of girls who looked teenlike in their 30s and they all lived stress free and ate quality whole foods. Guys falling for the junk food and beer macho routine age like black mold.

>>8569291
Add something "meaty" like smoked ham and you've a pretty good sandwich.

Holy shit yes. I got into some trouble back home and moved in with an old friend and his parents. His mom would use literally no seasoning, and pretty much boiled everything. But in her defense her husband would flip the fuck out if she made it any other way. When he was away at work and she cooked, it was quite tasty.

They thought it was too gross I guess. I was very young then, I'd gladly make an old persons gross milk for them.

>old people's eating habits?
The grandpa of a friend of mine bows over his plate, he put his arms between the plate and the rest of the people eating with him. He served in second world war and was imprisoned by the russian. He was deported to kazakhstan and was forced to work there for 7 years until he got free and returned to his home and family.

>>8569171

Yes. My grandma (Polish) wrote everything on a notebook. She passed away in '99, but i keep her notebooks in my special place.

It's basically three chapters:
1. how do not waste meat
2. how to use meat during the war
3. how to make something with just little meat during the post-war times.

Im in the process of translating it.

>>8571893

That German plate looks pretty good. Making me crave some red cabbage kraut.

>>8569364
I like their coffee, and their meat/veggies can be good, but I agree injera sucks. Like a sour, spongy pancake.

>>8578620
Cool. I have a sad feeling her advice is going to be very valuable in the near future.

>>8572743
Nope, just a cute Japanese American girl (male).

I thought this story my grandfather told about Italian restaurants was funny

>Back in the 1920s
>Grandfather walking down the street with his mom
>They walk by an Italian restaurant
>His mom said "I hope you never go in a place like that!"

My deepest sympathies

Mexicans do it too, it's called hocoque.

My grandmother, who started showing signs of alzheimers, kept a container of sour cream that had black mold in it, and used it regularly. When my mother tried to throw it away, she threw a fit. When asked what the black shit was, she said it was chocolate. She was soon put into a home.

Oh, also, my grandfather ate spaghetti and peanut butter sandwiches.

My grandmother refuses to eat any Asian food claiming that it is too spicy.

I figured she had a bad experience the the (probably) garbage Asian restaurants in Mulingar, but she actually has never tried it.

I think I will cook her some next time I'm in Ireland and just tell her that it's American food.

She also is afraid of any seafood with legs.

>>8580261
>She also is afraid of any seafood with legs.
So am I. Fuck eating water-spiders.

>>8576619

>butter on steak

Absolutely fucking delicious.

My grandmother likes to eat red sugar-free Jell-o with big dollops of mayo on the side.

She also taught me to enjoy anything with fake sugar in it, which is... not a good thing. I love diet coke and I love to eat plain wheat chex with skim milk and aspartame.

>>8576438
Mac and cheese is a social construct

>>8580033
:(

My grandparents from Florida almost only eat fast food unless theyre hosting a large family dinner or something
No exaggeration, they eat chick fil-a maybe 4-5 times a week.

pasta with sour cream is better

My father tells tales of playing with a neighbor boy when he was a kid who would eat "Sugar Sandwiches"

White bread
Both slices buttered
Covered in just plain white sugar.

He'd eat two sandwiches and then go absolutely fucking crazy for the rest of the afternoon until my dad went back home.

>>8580652
Bread, butter and sugar was something I ate too as a kid. It was a special treat my nanny would make for me.

>>8569171
My father-in-law refuses to eat anything that isn't well done steak, plain fries, candy, pork chops, or fish and chips. He literally refuses to. He also only drinks coke or coffee.

He'll probably be dead soon.

>>8569291
My grandfather would take a piece of white bread, spread ketchup on it, and literally put half an onion and go to fucking town.

i crie everytiem

>>8580039
What is: Thai Peanut noodles Alex?

>>8580652
Yeah, mom's friends took us onvacations to their house in the mountains Wich is kind of wierd since it was a really big house the father and his 8 brothers owner so I got to play with my friend (their son) and a group of other random kids both family and not
For some reason they loved eating butter bread with sugar, also there was no drinkable water and mom bought candy for me and my friend and told us not to tell the other kids

>>8581314
>and mom bought candy for me and my friend and told us not to tell the other kids
HOLY SHIT man don't tell me you told the other kids?!

>>8581390

You are a pleb
Low class shines through your comments.

>>8569273
Shit's great, it's like yoghurt but without all the dick sucking.

>>8576531
Is that why you eat pizza and not calzone?

>>8569171
My grandpa eats raw bacon (or similar cuts like speck). In fact, he puts bits of speck in his fucking salads.

also my grandma would make pasta tossed in butter and poppyseeds. my mom would make it for me too when I was a kid and I loved it.

years later, she told me it was food improvised during communism

>>8581937

>>8574781
Hey, we do that too! Delicious with hearty meals

When my grandparents were still around, they would slaughter a pig and eat from it for a couple of months until it was time to slaughter another pig.

My grandma kept the pure lard in a giant silver bowl sitting on the counter and every day would grab a piece of bread and scrape it in the lard so that there was a solid couple of inches of pure lard on it and eat that multiple times. She probably had at least half a pound of pure lard a day.

My grandpa claimed he hated garlic and would throw a fit if he saw my grandma cook with it, but whenever she cooked with garlic and remembered to fish out the garlic from the food he claimed the food was so good that day and said "see, you don't need garlic!!"

My mom has a weird thing about Mediterranean/Turkish/Lebanese food where she claims she hates it and always refuses to go to Lebanese restaurants but orders shit like tabouleh and kibbeh and other shit at restaurants that offer them.

>>8569291

I just made this on dark rye bread with some soppressa salami, tremendous.

>>8569171
canned crabapples
i always thought they were poisonous, but my grandma ate them all the time

Grandpa would make mayonnaise covered apples. He would wedge the apple then cover all the slices in mayo. Made it for me once and it wasnt half bad think i might have to make it for myself sometime

>>8578689
Dude you probably look shit and have a tiny wee fuck off it's not the board for this mentally ill shit.

My grandmother refused to eat anything that doesn't have tomatoes in it for some reason.

>>8569770
Dude in my country we have people from Eritrea and all they do is be typical niggers but without helping society a tiny bit.

>>8569256
My mom still pretty much cooks this way because my dad's mom cooked that way for his entire childhood and he thinks black pepper is too spicy and a tiny hint of jalapeno is like a forest fire in the mouth, plus she has heartburn problems too so even though she actually likes spicy food (more than him anyway) she can't even cook it for herself anymore

Everything she cooks is incredibly bland and I usually end up seasoning my plate extra to make up for it

My grandfather has always had two bottles of wine every single night. One bottle with dinner then another bottle afterwards

He's 94 and has been doing this for 40+ years. I have no idea how he hasn't died yet

>>8582674
Does he get drunk or has he developed such a high tolerance that its essentially just juice?

Do people consider him an alcoholic?

>>8569171
My grandma whenever she makes spaghetti bolognese or any other kind of pasta she uses a premade sauce and only uses half the jar, then she puts flour in it to thicken it up, it turns out really bland and a has a reddish brown colour.

She avoids noodles and rice like the plague cause they have carbs but will eat bread, no clue what the fuck she's thinking for that one.

She avoids sugar like the plague and replaces it with artificial bullshit but she'll buy greek yoghurt at the store and eat it every day even though it's loaded with sugar, she never fucking reads the labels.

She'll keep hams until they go slightly green and sour smelling, she'll keep cheese even though it has mold on it and also sees no problem with keeping fruits and veg even though they're gone.

I have no clue how she hasn't killed herself with food poisoning

>>8582601

My grandfather insists on calling rolled oats 'Rude Oats' and using it as a platform to attack my grandmother.

>Has rolled oats for breakfast every morning
>takes the bowls
>'Hey Marge, these ROLLED OATS are actually Rude oats!'
>does an 'oatmeal voice' that sounds like John Wayne
>'Wow Marge, they should call you Homer fatty'
>'Marge I don't know what you did to me but I taste like shit'
>'Marge, Oats should be creamy, but you used your dried up haggard breast milk in me'

My grandmother basically cries once a day because of this shit, fucking old cunt

>>8576186
>I made my own injerra once, was a lot of work.

yeah making pancakes is real hard lmao

>>8576432
If she's willing to screw a Mexican, she's trash anyway and there's no reason to care about her.

Gf tells of her grandfather eating Depression era "tomato soup" at a diner by ordering hot water and putting ketchup packets and salt and pepper in it. Wala :(

>>8583608
Brother, have you considered putting your dong in those oats? There will be oats to spare.
