Question of the Week

[Guest guest]

I was raised in the country side by a European English/Irish family and

never experienced any type of 'ethnic' food . We were raised on wild

game and 'farm food' which was milk,cheese,'taters and garden veggies.

When I was a teenager ,I visited an Italian friend's home and her

grandmother prepared dishes from her home country of Sicily. It was my

first taste of diferent spices and garlic and I was hooked. Garlic and

onions became a part of my life. My next taste sensation was 'Mexican'

food and it has become my favorite 'ethnic' food. I have Hispanic

friends who have taught me about spices and hot peppers and I am in

love with this type of food.

Now I will try everything but my favorite remains 'Mexican'.
