My girlfriend always romanticises old people and their cooking. I never really had a grandma, but i used to eat a lot at 60+ people’s home some 30 years ago, and it was pretty bad. Everything was boiled to death. It took me another 20 years to eat Brussels sprouts, broccoli and even potatoes again. I fucking love brussle sprouts, but if you boil them they become absolutely repulsive. The people who are 60+ now that i know don’t really cook all that well also. It’s a weird mix between old timey boiled food and highly processed food.
