I make a salad for us to eat as a meal every day, and I have a lot of experience making "presentation friendly" salads, with all the good stuff stacked up on top in an orderly fashion. But that's not how you eat a salad, so I mix our salads all the way up nowadays. They're ugly and 100% delicious!
I've enjoyed almost everything I've ever eaten with the exception of just a few items. When I was a small child, I used to come home from school to have lunch. Even at that young age, my mother said that I ate everything. But one day when I came home for lunch, my grandmother, who lived next door, had made a tuna noodle casserole for me. I just stood at the table and looked at that ugly casserole. Then,I started to cry and I cried for several minutes. My mother gently coaxed me into trying it. I liked it so much, I remember eating seconds. Since that day, tuna noodle casserole has been one of my favorite foods.
Well, I know my grandmother has been in heaven since 1958 and I do know she is happy. I rather imagine my mother did relate my reaction to the casserole and subsequently asking for seconds. I loved my grandma very much. I bet she was quite happy that I had a good lunch. Thank you for your comment.
That's a cool concept.
