My husband (the cook of the house) used to make something like this. It is interesting how the tastes of people change over the years. Doubt I would eat this now.
It seems like I read a study somewhere that our taste buds change every 7 years … but I can’t remember for sure the statistic or where the study was. But I agree that my family’s tastes have changed over time. Things we used to eat … nevermore! Some things we thought we’d never try, yup favorite menu items now!
