That you love(d) oh so much, for me, it was macaroni and cheese, pancakes, cornbread, biscuits, corn on the cob, cheese grits, and sweet tea. I remember every weekend getting out of bed and just saying "pancakes pancakes pancakes pancakes" to my Grandmother, heh. |

I grew up with lots of mexican food( I'm not latina).
I grew up in Phoenix and I remember every week my grandmother would fry tacos, and my aunt would come from california to visit and make a huge pot of menudo. My grandfather made the best rice and beans ever. Once a month we had huge fish fry's after the men would go fishing. Hmmmm, fish and potato's and onions, and hot water cornbread. |

- Warm baguette that you start to eat before leaving the boulangerie
- Sushi made with ham and gruyere because my Japanese Dad could not find sashimi grade fish years ago in Paris - tea with cucumber sandwiches and scones at boarding school in Scotland - Whole milk left out in glass bottles on our porch at dawn: the bluetits would peck at the aluminium top and drink it before we did. |

Sounds lovely. I have such fond memories of the food I grew up with. My mom was an amazing cook: Spicy masala omelettes Chicken Biryani with cucumber raita Curried spinach with beef Semiya (dessert made with vermicilli, sugar, milk, and spices) and always a good cup of strong tea

| For the BBQ lover try Willard's in Chantilly. It's awesome. They cater and are always packed at lunch time during the week. |

And in 20 years our kids will answer this question like this
Chicken nuggets Mac N cheese Pizza Happy Meals Our parents and grand parents had the same amount of time in a day to make those good things, reading this thread gets me motivated to make better food instead of taking the easy way out every so often |
