[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anything with a French name.  As an adventurous— but also picky eater — I ordered frog legs, snails, coq au vin, boeuf Bourguignon, and stuff like that in restaurants that I’d never eat at home. I once even tried to cook frog’s legs. (Not recommended.) All of that was pretty rare though, since just going out to eat at a restaurant felt like an occasion.

I remember chocolate eclairs being a big deal. And when I was a teenager, there were some seriously upscale Great Escape TV dinners that I thought were a great treat. One was seafood Newberg and another one was short ribs. They got discontinued way before I was ready to give up processed foods.

Growing up I ordered escargot every chance I got and loved it. I still order it occasionally, but am less enamored than I used to be.

And +1 to eclairs being a big deal. And that reminds me -- I remember croissants being a big deal. My grandmother would pick them up for Sunday breakfast sometimes instead of "sweet rolls," and we had to go to the fancy grocery store to get them. Safeway didn't have them. [/quote]
