[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 691780, member: 1963"] The problem is that so much of that good "peasant" (or "serf" in the case of my grandparents on one side. On the other side the grandparents ran a mill and bakery and were comfortably off.) cooking requires ingredients that are now considered "gourmet" and cost a fortune. I nearly died when I made a brisket for a family get together. $9lb for the brisket, and the parsnips and turnips for the roasted veggies were 3 dollars a lb. (and then, my "brother in law", my sister's 2nd husband, who is an Italian atheist, refused to so much as touch the brisket. I later found out it was because it "looked and smelled funny". So, I have my sister who isn't eating because she was high on meth. My brother in law, who won't eat anything "new or different", my mother who doesn't meat other than chicken or fish, and chicken only rarely. I and a couple cousins were the only ones swho ate the brisket. At least other than brother in law, the non-brisket eaters did chow down on the roasted veggies. We meat eaters divided up the leftovers. I think I ate brisket sandwiches for two weeks. Next time I got "invited to cook the entree" (for Passover) I cooked a capon, which cost a fortune, too, but at least everyone ate that. [/QUOTE]
