Now your cooking with bottled gas - pastrami and swiss on rye or a sausage and pepper grinder soooo gooood. There is one thing I don't really care to eat and thats kale but I will eat it if its cooked correctly.

Mark when I was growing up it was eat everything on your plate. So whatever mom cooked for dinner we kids had to eat and boy could she come up with some wild dishes. She is a great cook no doubt about it. My favorite vegetable is broccoli and mom thought it was my dads as well so we had it all the time. Well when I moved out dad tells mom to please never serve broccoli again he hates it. Mom says why didn't you ever say anything before he says I told the kids to eat everything on their plates so I had to as well. So for every holiday dinner after that mom would always cook it just to get under his skin.

The good thing about eat everything on your plate is that I'm not afraid to try any food. Americans eat with their eyes not with their mouth. Well I guess I was taught different taste it instead of look at it.

But there is one thing for sure I'll eat whatever the wife puts on the table./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif----even hamburger helper

Yes, I'm quite impressed with this thread, learning many things about foods and where they come from! /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

Mark, it sounds like you'd want me and Paul to bring some NY cheesecake? I guess even if our upstate area doesn't have much to offer, we get slapped with NY's finsest. or the finest to bring! /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Muhammad - That sounds like a plan to me!

Gordon - The "eat everything on your plate" rule was vigorously enforced at my house when I was a kid, too. It never did me any harm. I sure get tired of seeing kids tell their parents what they will and won't eat nowadays. And usually it's all just a power play. They don't know whether they like it or not, because they've never tasted it, but they do think it's cool to be able to control Mom and Dad. Plus it's good practice for when more important things come along.

If you're gonna train a dog, you've got to be smarter than the dog.

Mark, sounds like I had it better at the table..Mine just insisted I taste everything,a few bites of each.I know a fellow that made bad play, as Muhammed said for "power"..When he was 10 his mom made the statement I'm sure we've all heard at least once.."Clean your plate, you should consider yourself lucky, there are children all over the world that are going hungry tonight"...His mistake was to reply "O'!! YEAH NAMEONE!!!" You know that one left him standing for a while!!!/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif AS FOR CHEESE CAKE count me there.I'll even bring fresh blueberries from the u'pickem up the road to go on top...

Have to chime in for us southwesterners. How about if I bring some elk steaks and some red and green chile with tortillas on the side? Oh, and some local micro brew beer.

Pburns - Ouch! Another example of crossing the line between bravery and stupidity! Yep, I'll bet that line cost him.

Or, somebody could talk about genuine Texas BarBQ, and the merits of a tractor in building one. Guess most people don't need a tractor to fix dinner, but this starts sounding like a Texas story. There are probably a few good candidates here for telling them.

I didn't know there were different kinds; only heard of and had them once when we got together in a campground not far from you, Muhammad, with a retired New York state trooper and Northwestern classmate of mine. And I don't remember how to spell it either (of course we were drinking a little beer that night, too)./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

My father said kids are starving now finish your plate. Well guess what I was dumb enough to say-well why don't you send it and that was all I got of my mouth before dad got ahold of me---Man was that a dumb move!!!!! and I sure did pay for that one.
