[quote=Anonymous]I lived in Indiana. When I was a kid, I honestly think we had a good mix of foods. And it was enhanced by fresh fruits and vegetables from local farms.

My mom was always into cooking, and watched and made recipes from Julia Child, in addition to whatever trends were going on in magazines and TV shows. She was one of the first people I know to get into Food Network.

We also used fresh vegetables to jar and can our own food for the winter, like applesauce, jams and beets. Not that I think there is anything wrong with using canned or frozen vegetables and fruits when you need or want to. They are, after all, frozen or canned at the peak of their freshness!

There actually were a lot of different restaurants in my hometown. There was an Egyptian restaurant called The Nile that was family owned…it ran from the 1980s until just two years ago when the family decided to close—they even made it through COVID. Owned by families: Egyptian, Chinese, Mexican, BBQ, Italian, and an Amish market. Alongside mid-priced chains, of course. Both country clubs in my hometown also had decent food.

The only food I felt I wasn’t exposed to growing up was Japanese, and that was quickly solved in my college town, also in Indiana. [/quote]
