    Chef's choice, right?!? LOL! Mom would cook breakfast, lunch and supper and not ask anyone their opinion of what was on the menu! You either ate it or not. Now she did try to make things she thought we'd like, but if you were the odd man out, you could make a sandwich if you didn't like what she... View More

    W‌hen I was in my preteen years, we did. However, by the time I was in my teens in the Late 70's we did eat in front of the TV. We bought some of those FANCY, folding TV trays so we could eat and watch TV! But that really didn't happen until I was 13 or 14 years old. Before that we ate o... View More

    At my family dinner table it was 6:00, and you better be there. Take all you want, but eat all you take. My mom would have to dish up my three sisters plates, because they would only take two pea's, a spoon full of mash potatoes etc. etc. You couldn't leave the table, until your plate was empty.

    ‌I loved green peas and Black-eyed Peas as well! Beets and raw tomatoes were the bane of my existence! LOL! That said, we grew about 100 to 300 hills of tomatoes each year, in our Truck Patch Gardens, and while I hated raw tomatoes, I loved tomato sauce & ketchup!

    I learned to hate fish I had all kinds of ways to get rid of it.putting it in a napkin & stuffing it down my pants and flushing it down the toilet when I was caught doing that I would feed it to the dogs under the table until mom would smell their breath.

    That's too funny, because we did the same thing, (kind-of) my sisters would pass their food down the line to me, i would hide it in the planter box i sat next to, then retrieve it when the coast was clear. Nine kids, 5 boys, and 4 girls.

    ‌It reminds me of left-overs! We grew up with left-overs in the fridge, but regardless of how new they were, we learned to smell food before eating it!

    hHehehehe. The only seafood I eat now is scallops, haddock or cod. I've eaten pretty much everything else, except squid. When you grow up eating it day after day , you get sick of it.

    ‌We ate a lot of junk as kids. But potted meat and crackers, Vienna Sausages, or peanuts and an RC Cola or 6 oz Coke were drank at time as well. That said, we always had Sweet Iced Tea made up!

    My favorite fish on this chart is Grouper! Trigger Fish, though not on the chart is really good too. Flounder is another one I like a lot! Snapper is good, but you got to know how to eat it... avoid the dark meat, unless you like strong fishy taste! Mahi-Mahi is really good too.

    Brings back so many memories! To this day, I can still eat most left-overs straight out of the Fridge without warming them up.

    Yep so with me ‌ ! I cook my pizza and then put it in the refrig until tommorrow to eat it! The Tomatos release a hormone that not only tastes good, but is more nutritious... one of the few foods that do that after being cooked!!! [ ]

    Mickey D's was good, but I truly loved Burger Chef Restaurants we had around here! That said, mom's and granny's hamburgers were really, way better than any chain restaurant's burger. We ate most of them on plain white bread, and burger buns were for special occasions! LOL!
