I love beans, cornbread, and fried potatoes with green onions and fresh tomatoes. I guess that makes me even more ‘country’ than some. While I don’t have fresh tomatoes yet, Mr. Pesky is working on that and did bring green onions!
How can 2 people who grew up the same be so different?
My favorite brother and I grew up with the same two parents in the same household. We had the same Nanny and we both spent a whole lot of time with her. But if I told him we were having beans and cornbread for dinner — he’d drive through McDonalds on his way here.
For him, bean soup from St. Elmo’s would be great — just not the traditional beans with cornbread. 🙄
Ben’s not a whole lot different than Scott when it comes to food — and he grew up on fish sticks, french fries, and “brown meat” (what he called roast). I’m not saying I don’t like things I might not have had when growing up… I’m a HUGE fan of Thai, Japanese, and Vietnamese food. What’s different is I still like the old time home cooking food I had as a kid too.
What about you? Ever think how your siblings differ from you on the craziest things?
TIL (Today I Learned): Bean Soup is on the U.S Senate’s restaurant menu.
