This is weird, right? I hated most of my friends' mothers' cooking (the memories of the Tripe Wars of 1985 and the Tongue Disaster of 1987 and the Heart Incident Please Don't Ask are seared into my brain even today) but that if you were in someone's house at dinnertime you'd get fed and by god you'd eat it, right? To the best of my knowledge this still happens, but nowadays with more pasta and pizza in the mix.
