My teen son visited me and when I saw him take a cooked pot of about a 1-pound bag of dry rice, dump it into a giant salad bowl, and then open three cans of canned chile and pour over it, grab a big spoon and start woofing it down like Jethro (Beverly Hillbillies), I thought ‘my god’, that is what I looked like to other people in my teens and 20s? It was disgusting to see.
My son had his own giant salad bowl. Favorite food in my house....goulash...and they all still make it...and they’re in their 50s.
