Food Fads

Back in a simpler time, food fads swept through the ERJ extended family every summer.

As siblings collected significant-others, we would be exposed to their favorite foods.

One year it was Hillbilly Bread.

I am eating 4-Bean salad as I type. That is what motivated this post. Mine has Great Northern beans, Red kidney beans, green beans and garbanzo beans. This is good food for bachelors.

Another year it was Four-bean salad. We all felt very cosmopolitan eating garbanzo beans and actually liking them.

Another year it was New York State Fair Chicken (marinated in Italian dressing).

Yet another year it was vegetables brushed with olive oil, sprinkled with garlic salt and roasted over the grill.

One S.O. who did not last long made Red-eyes a favorite for when the temperatures are above 90F. Half V-8 vegetable juice and half cheap beer (he favored PBR).
