Rach-
Just wanted to pass on a great memoir with some hilarious food-related content: Mennonite in a Little Black Dress by Rhoda Janzen. She lists the top 5 Shame-Based Foods for Mennonite Youth Lunches, this took me back to my jealousy over my friend's Mr. Noodles, oreo cookies, and juice box lunches (the water fountain was the Reems' school beverage). While not Mennonite, but with not so distant Dutch immigrant roots, I now fondly appreciate the homemade goodies, and cheese and mustard sandwiches of my youth.
My favourite food moment in the book was her mother chugging the leftover 'tuna juice' from the can!
Hi Smoochy,
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a great read. I've recently been given "American Pie" from cousin Robert. Whenever I pick it up I get hungry.
