Bygone menus:
When
I was a kid, we had simple meals, all from the 3 major food groups. There was
an entrée of cholesterol, a side dish of starches, and another of
carbohydrates. This didn’t change unless someone had a good day on the river,
and then there was fish. My mother’s spice rack consisted of salt and pepper,
and richer flavors were provided by mustard and ketchup. You can imagine my
shock first time a waitress asked me if I wanted sour cream on my baked potato.
For one thing, potatoes were supposed to be mashed or fried – not baked. I’m
glad I tried it, but just listen to yourself say those words, “sour cream”. Now
that’s disgusting! If my mother had tried to serve my anything called sour
cream when I was 9, I would have been out of there and they wouldn’t have seen
me until I could vote.
“Life is much too important
to be taken seriously.”
