Wendigee posted:i used to have to eat salmon (with bones!) from a can that my mom would mix with some whisked egg and make into like a pancake... "salmon patties" she called them. they were served with mashed potatoes that had been formed and cooked into little patties as well. Man this takes me way back, my mom did the exact same thing. Except I would come running into the kitchen like a cat when she had the can opener going on the salmon can because she'd pick out all the bones and put them in a bowl for me to eat. Love some canned salmon bones. Luvcow posted:yeah to this day i've never seen anyone else do it but apparently it was her way of making it A couple years back I was making a big batch of mashed potatoes for a potluck I was going to and realized too late there was no butter, sour cream, or plain yogurt in the house. So I started carefully mixing in mayo a tablespoon at a time until it tasted right. Turns out all the egg proteins in there gave it this great stretchy texture. Not like stiff peaks or anything, but there was kind of a body to it that I'd never experienced. So now I just skip the butter and make all my mashed potatoes with mayo.

His parents were immigrants, but from upper class backgrounds and highly educated. They had a big house and far more money than my family. I've got an Indian friend, and when he found out I liked Indian food in high school (boarding school), he gave me some of his mom's food that he'd brought back from the weekend. I raved about it so much that she would start sending him to school with containers of food just for me for the week. It became such a thing that we'd get together at his house just to eat his mom's food and eventually she gave me some lessons on cooking Indian food. I brought her a bunch of venison once and she showed me how to make venison curry and drat it was just the best. There's a handful of vegetables that I used to think I hated until I realized I just didn't like the way mom cooked them. Brussels sprouts, lima beans, asparagus, the usual suspects. Mom was from the midwest and did her best to feed us healthy stuff with lots of vegetables, but she just was never exposed to many styles of cooking outside of what you'd find in a midwest kitchen in the 60s. And it didn't help that in a little southern town, fresh brussels, asparagus, spinach, peas weren't common at the grocery store (usually Walmart). So it was always boiled, and usually frozen or canned. The first time I had brussels sprouts that I liked was when my wife showed me how to properly sautee them and now they're one of my favorites.
