Best Thing You EVER Ate

[qu also a seafood lover. Can't get ANY fresh seafood here in lovely sunny Arizona!!!!!
I'd have to move!! Love any kind and eat it about 3-4 times a week. Just bought fresh shrimp and scallops at a local seafood place to grill tonight. YUUUUUM.

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

I think that things tasted a lot better because there weren't all the additives, antibiotics, flavor enhancers and other processed ingredients in the foods our parents made. I miss my parent's cooking too.

And in my mother's case, she was a talented cook, who could improvise and always have it turn out wonderful. I can't do that to save my life.
Maybe part of it is that many of our mothers didn't work at outside jobs and could spend more time on cooking.
Also, I suspect their pots and pans were "seasoned" so the flavorings in them added to whatever was being cooked. Nowadays, most of us scrape our pots clean.
