[quote=Anonymous]I grew up in a smallish city in southwest MI. My mother never seasoned anything, veggies were from cans, salads were iceberg lettuce with bottled dressing, and the closest we got to cuisine from other countries was Ortega taco kits and the occasional lasagna. I moved to Chicago at 19. I remember sitting in a lounge area my first semester of school in Chi, and seeing a girl eat a falafel sandwich. I had no idea what it was. I asked her, and she said "falafel?" as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. I was embarrassed that I didn't know what it was and vowed to try it ASAP. I then began trying all the ethnic foods Chicago had to offer -- I'd never had Thai, never had Greek, never had Indian, etc. I love it all, and still do. [/quote]
