I never grew up like this, OP. I spent my childhood in Europe in a middle class family. Just because something is expensive doesn't mean it's desirable and has to be feted. That's a very shallow point of view, don't you think? Are you sure you want to replicate that aspect of your childhood?

We celebrate with Japanese food that we don't make at home. Sushi or ramen! :-)

DP but since you didn’t grow up in the US, you don’t have the same perspective. “Nice steak dinners” are a very American cultural experience. [/quote]

PP you replied to. Believe me, it's appreciated in the UK and France and Japan and many other places as well. By people who like steak! Please accept that not everyone appreciates every single expensive food. Do you like large platters of seafood? I don't. They're expensive as well, and some families treat them with the same reverence you have for steak.

I like foie gras and caviar, if that makes you feel better... and I do consider them "treats".
