I'm not insisting that this is healthy or good practice but I cannot remember having the option of not eating the food in front of me as a kid (in a typical Canadian suburb childhood). I'm also not a picky eater so I suppose maybe it just never came up. If anything the expectation was more that you finish everything that was served to you, which I know think is almost more of a cultural thing - ie some cultures if you finish your plate you get more piled onto it so you never really finish the plate completely to avoid that.

dino. posted:Oh gods, if we can also mention store bought food, Ferrero Rocher is up there. ahahaha I remember those ads, I figured they were too high class for me to ever cross paths with them. When I finally saw them in the wild on a gas station counter I was old enough to go "fuckers lied to me"

When I finally saw them in the wild on a gas station counter I was old enough to go "fuckers lied to me" I love Ferraro Rocher. They’re delicious! As an occasional treat I’ll buy myself a little three-pack of them and guzzle them. They are pretty decent quality, actually. My cousin is acting ambassador to Malta so I sent him this ad a few weeks ago.

When covid first hit people were dropping off gifts at the hospital and one such gift was several hundred of those ferraro rochers. I'm good for life now I think.

How Wonderful! posted:My dad really, really liked Outback, and so we would go to Outback every year for his birthday. I assumed it had to be the most elegant place on earth because my dad was an elegant guy and he certainly seemed to enjoy it. This was a good story. Outback was proper fancy for us, too. Birthdays and graduations only! Everyday fancy was the Shoney's Friday seafood buffet. I love seafood but my mom hates it so we never had it at home. Early 1990s me ate so drat many fried clams at Shoney's.

Get him a membership here and point him at this thread - we can get a solid calibration point on what is actually very-loving-fancy. At the very least, get him to send a photo or two of an Ambassador's Banquet, it will serve as our calibration point.

Pekinduck posted:Yeah Much of the American Wild West you see in movies is actually Italy, so that makes sense. They got referred to as Spaghetti Westerns for a reason.
