Reply #3: I honestly can't think of anything in this category

In my grade school years, we came home for lunch. In high school, the food was actually pretty good. Not memorable, but surely acceptable. In the Navy, I was on a small ship (MSO - Minesweeper - crew of less than 90) and our food was damned good. I mean, really, really good. As close to Mom's as you could put on a compartmented metal tray. Then my college years started at the Culinary Institute of America (yep, I'm a former CIA guy! :) ) so you **know** the food was good.

All through this, my mother was a great cook.

So nope ...... I have no bad food memories.

(And your request aside, I **like** Fluff .... to this day!)
