my parents cooking. i didnt know it at the time but my parents were awful, awful cooks. we were really poor which didnt help. when i got a job and started buying my own food i was shocked at how delicious food could be.

Same for me! Heart disease is strong on my mom's side so she put an outright embargo on salt in our household. I guess she decided to be cautious because she didn't use ANY other spices either. No garlic, no pepper, nothing. Fast forward to starting university and having a roommate with Thai parentage. A whole new world of flavour was opened up to me.

I remember telling her "I thought only restaurants could make food taste like this"

On the flip side, was it exciting to suddenly realize that food could taste amazing and you had a whole new world to explore?
