No recipe today because I was away but have I great one for next week! Enjoy the story!
So I've always been a person to try something new at least once. It's a rule in the house, you try it first before you say how you feel about it.
Chicky has learned that she doesn't hate salad because of this rule and Ducky has learned that if he at least tries it he a high five for effort and if he eats it anyways he might get some dessert.
So when I was Holland for my grandmother's funeral I also had the opportunity to meet family for the first time from both my mother and father's sides.
A family reunion of sorts was set up in a matter of hours and the family got together with food, stories and lots of laughs. Some even at my expense!
I was told by many of my relatives to try this pate type of spread on a cracker. My father was grinning from ear to ear and I was curious by that so I said I would try it. Besides I stick by my rule and I was offered this pate several times now so I felt I was going to insult someone if I didn't try it.
To my surprise I liked it a lot and laughs and festivities continued for a while. Then my mother came outside and looked at the spread and asked, "How long has that been out?".
I replied "I don't know why?". To which my mother replied:
"It's a raw meat and egg spread that should not be out in the heat for too long".
LOVELY!
But the best part of the story was my little sister who only eats chicken and fish and was firm on that, was eating it too and I don't know if she knew what the pate was made of.
So that's my "Try New Recipes" Thursday.
Tell me your story of something you ate and then realized later what it was. AND be honest! Did you like it before you knew what the mystery ingredients were?
