I can't remember my mother EVER serving us pizza. It always seemed like a Forbidden Food that one had to *sneak* out of the house to eat hehe.

I never went to a restaurant till I was 17. I'm serious. We used to go to Dairy Queen occasionally and get dip cones, dilly bars, or Sundaes, and once in a while, went to the A&W for an actual hamburger (no fries) and root beer. I never went to a McDonald's till I was in my 20's.

The world has caught up with GretchenM in the years since then. I can make my way through a restaurant menu quite nicely now. ;-)

Well, as I recall from your mentioning it previously, not having pizza was the least of your real concerns as a kid.

I am thankful that you have recovered........through the power of the Lord...........from far more than your restaurant deprivation.

I was fortunate because my parents were in catering going to restaurants happened a lot.

I can remember as a fairly young child eating a curry at the local "in place" in Deal.
