[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think there's a big piece that hasn't been mentioned, a lot of times in family food is love.  It's how people show love for the people around them.  They want to provide tasty foods for their loved ones to enjoy.

There's a lot of family traditions around food.  Even in memories when people start talking about things in their childhood.

I don't think you should be so hasty to discount what they do, maybe it's not your thing, but you shouldn't poo-poo it just because you don't approve.[/quote]

Exactly this. My dad worked late shifts/early shifts when I was young, before he eventually got a 9-5 manager job. So we didn’t see him for breakfast sometimes, didn’t see him for dinner sometimes. He never cooked unless we were on vacation. And then, he made feasts. Pancake breakfasts that my dad made at our extended family lake house vacations were legendary. We loved it. He would make Mickey Mouse pancakes, little pancakes for our dolls…he got a kick out of it.[/quote]
