[quote=Anonymous]Grew up in the Baltimore suburbs, born in '79. Typical dinners were pork chops, lamb chops, steak, roast chicken, served with potatoes or rice, with peas or green beans and corn. Salad nightly. Occasionally we had spaghetti with meatballs. Meatloaf also made regular appearances. Once every other month we'd have sauerkraut as a side to the protein, usually pork. Once a week was fish, usually trout, sometimes swordfish. In summers we'd have sliced tomatoes and fresh green beans, crabcakes and steamed shrimp. Every now and then my mother would make an effort and serve steamed broccoli or cauliflower but they typically faded from the menu before she made an effort again. She was considered a good cook.

Lunches were usually cold cuts or tuna fish or peanut butter/jelly. Very typical.

I remember food becoming more "interesting" in the mid 1990s? Pastas other than spaghetti started becoming more common. Salmon started making an appearance. Asparagus started appearing regularly.
