[quote=Anonymous]Small town in PNW, but immigrant parents. Typical meals:

Breakfast:
Cereal and milk
Eggs and rice with one or two sides

Lunch:
School lunch?
Fried rice with shrimp or ham
Rice with vegetable tofu miso soup and sides

American Dinner:
Spaghetti with Prego and extra vegetables added, served with a canned olives, pickles, and a shake of Kraft in the green can

Rarely had soda but family often split one or two sodas among 4 people when we are pizza or hamburgers.

Fried chicken with sides (grocery store of KFC). We added veg sides and rice at home.

Usual dinner was rice with lots of veggie sides, maybe one meat side, soup. Dessert was fruit. Once in awhile we would eat a slice of frozen pound cake or ice cream bought at the grocery store. We are out maybe once a month.

Grandparents set up a vegetable and fruit garden in large adjoining property so we often picked and ate strawberries or greens.

Having lived elsewhere, I now see PNW has a huge appreciate for natural foods, fresh food, organic, local. Grew up going to upick fruit farms and health food coop type stores. But most of our food shopping was Safeway and Albertsons. [/quote]
