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"
it was junk food for me. we only had take out a few times a year, when it was someones birthday. when i was older i ate fast food for about 2 years straight.

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