[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Brie. I eat it on any day (I mean still not often), but it doesn’t have to be a holiday.

Even pepper jack cheese. Was a party food, but I love it for every day.

Pomegranate seeds

Steak and burgers. Not fancy but they were celebration or holiday/party foods.

[b]Nowadays I throw together a presentable charcuterie on any given weekend, but it would have been super special / rare growing up. That’s probably all of us.[/b]

No, grew up in Germany. What we think of of as charcuterie trays was essentially dinner most nights.  Maybe a little less fancy looking, but not by much.  My grandparents were very big on "you eat with your eyes", meaning everything had to look nice.  :)

Fancy would be avocados.  Only specialty stores carried them.  And kiwis.

Eggs were soft boiled and only eaten on Saturday mornings.  So semi-fancy? [/quote]

That's hilarious, about eggs, because in my nonfancy Soviet childhood, I got to have a soft-boiled egg like every other day. My mom even had the special little serving dishes for them, so that you can peel the top, and eat it with a spoon. Bananas, however, were mythical, I only had them twice in my early years.[/quote]
