[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]

DP: When I was a kid, I got to pick a treat whenI went grocery shopping with my parents.  I would often pick a tin of smoked oysters.  I remember my Dad cooking a (smoked?) huge tongue once. I had tasted it in sandwiches before, but the whole tongue sitting on a cutting board was really something.  [/quote]
