I was just thinking that if we started a thread of "The worst thing you ever ate" we'd probably have the same things on it just we'd just switch names on the entries.
So many have remarked about missing Mom's cooking and how we(me too) can't duplicate it. Do you think that maybe it's because our mom's used lard, butter, meat grease, homegrown veggies, real sugar, eggs from the henhouse out back, nothing from a mix, etc.? They used things that we don't have access to or have learned to do without because we've been told they aren't good for us. JMHO
