[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I come from a generational family of foodies, so nothing was off the table. We routinely ate wide variety of foods that might have seemed unusual to others, including beef tongue, smoked oysters, artichokes, etc.

My family didn't do processed foods. To me growing up, these were ultimate gourmet foods. Frozen pot pies was the bomb. Those chocolate HoHos were the bomb.  T.V. dinners were amazing. Coca Colas were heaven. I'm serious.[/quote]

I seriously doubt you had Tongue Tuesdays and Smoked Oyster Saturdays.  :lol:

BTW tongue is not unusual at all in a lot of countries and would definitely not be a fancy food treat.  Although I did love it as a kid.  Do they even sell it here?[/quote]

So my dad was the child of European immigrants (cheap old immigrant stock).  Actual Heinz ketchup was a luxury I craved (instead of stop and shop brand) but he would buy beef tongue and put together a pretty respectable charcuterie board for lunch.  I used to call it my non bread sandwich.  Although we often had sliced bread on the side.

For luxury/-the imported Italian tuna, canned smoked oysters, etc.  [/quote]
