[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in western Pennsylvania with a large extended family that was run by my grandmother and her sisters, all with German roots (surname Vasbinder). We ate German foods, played German games, and had other German-influenced traditions around the holidays but none of it was EVER called out as German or labeled as German in any way. It wasn't until I was in my 30's that I even put it all together as being so heavily German-influenced.[/quote] Very similar experience with my family from western PA/NY. They were just our family traditions, never called out as "German". Well, there was German potato salad. Our ancestors came over in the 1840s and were farmers. [/quote]
