| Introduction | I was raised in a household that believed in tasting everything that was put in front of you - none of this "if you don't want it, I'll make you a peanut butter sandwich", stuff that parents nowadays are into. My mother is a first generation Estonian-American. My father's heritage is a bit more questionable - maybe Austrian, maybe Polish - Grandpa can't make up his mind. His mother was Swedish. That being said, we had some interesting food when I was growing up. Scandinavian, Swedish, Polish, American. Add that to the fact that I had a variety of au pairs from Holland, France & Sweden & that my parents loved to travel, cook & host dinner parties. By the age of 14, I had a working knowledge of Beef Wellington, caviar, pâté and crème brûlée. I enjoy traveling & trying the different specialties in every country and region that I visit. Oh, & I've probably eaten more Foie Gras in 2 months than most people have in their entire lives. (Yes, I know how awful Foie Gras is & how it's made, so please don't bother telling me about it. I was in France at the time, & "had" to eat it every time to be polite. Well, it would have been a waste to not eat it once it was served to me, right?) |
How do you pronounce the 'g' in bologna?
Well, that all depends on if you're talking about the lunch meat, or the region in Italy...
