We all have those foods that we can't help but love even though they may not be the most refined options. I think a lot of our food preferences come from our childhood. I grew up eating Tuna Casserole. Where, yes, the tuna comes from a can. I still love it, seldom admit it, and never make it.
I ate a lot of mushroom soup growing up. It seemed to make it's way into almost every dish, including the Tuna Casserole.
Fish was not something we ate very often. Most of our meals were prepared with ground beef. Goulash, Western Meal, Bread-wrapped Beef and Cheese, and an array of casseroles. Ground beef was considered a staple. We could have been without bread for days, but if we were without ground beef for even one, it was a state of emergency.
There was no such thing as lean beef at that time or not in my family's vocab. anyway and everything could be fried and always tasted better when it was. I'm still trying to make up for the years of artery-clogging meals I consumed.
I still enjoy many of the foods from my childhood. They bring such comfort to me now. It's surprising how foods can do that. Some may consider these dishes unsophisticated. I don't eat things because they're sophisticated or not. I eat them because I like them.
What are some foods you're embarrassed about liking?
