[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I replied on the first or second page, Latina, and immigrant, etc., blah blah blah. I think a lot of it really is cultural. [b]Cooking from scratch is something my family always did in the home country and taught me. I could also live off the same meal for a week. My husband, although he grew up poor, his parents didn’t cook and he ate mostly microwave meals. He can’t eat the same me for more than two days and so a lot of that trace is back to childhood.[/b][/quote] +1. Same. I know how/where to buy cheap filling foods, how to season and cook, and have no issue eating the same thing for days. DH is SO bad at price shopping (idk how he somehow manages to find the most expensive variation of whatever he’s buying every time) and hates leftovers. We both grew up without a ton of money (me lmc him very poor) but our families approach cooking and food differently. A lot of what OP is describing is based on family of origin norms [/quote]
