[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Berries are the first thing I think of. We never, EVER had fruit in the house other than bananas, Macintosh apples and navel oranges. A richer friend's mom once served us sliced kiwi and strawberries for a snack and I talked about it for months to my mom.
[b]I remember when the first sushi place opened in my Michigan hometown in the late 90s and my family thought it was very outre ("raw fish???"). [/b]Espresso is also a good one --that was something for Frasier Crane to drink, not suburban moms.
Chex Mix was something my mom actually prepared as an appetizer for holiday guests, not an everyday snack out of the bag like now.

OMG, are you me, lol? I grew up in SW Michigan and I remember when a hibachi place came around 1988, and they served some sushi as well, and I ordered it and my family watched me eat it, horrified and fascinated at the same time. I was in high school and my boyfriend and I would go there for sushi and consider ourselves the most sophisticated people in town, lol. [/quote]
