Years ago mum got off the plane to visit her parents. She stopped off at the supermarket and mum got a roast chicken and some salads for their dinner. Mum also picked up one if these blueberry Danish frozen desserts and some custard. Mums mum was horrified, and said Gdad wouldn't eat it as he hated blueberries. When mum dished it up, he asked what it was and mum told him it was boysenberries and he ate it all up and even had seconds.
So when mum was at the supermarket this afternoon after work there was a danish sitting in the freezer section, that needed to come home with her. Mum enjoyed it after her dinner and thought of her parents and the family dinner they shared years ago. It may have been simple food, but remains memorable.

Ah! That's a lovely story Poppy!x
ReplyDeleteYes! We all remember things like that..
HeHe! Though l was a good boy..l ate
everything my Mum put in front of me!
And, still do..l was raised 'never' to
waste food..l may have a few carcass
bones in the food bin, but that's all.
From 1980 l raised my daughter on my
own, for 14yrs, if she left any food,
l would eat it..No waste..!
And one thing l love since Julie put
the recipe on one of her posts is
Scroggin Slice..I~LOVE~IT..HeHe! :).
My daughter makes it for me know...
And..l believe it's from New Zealand..
It's lovely..Yum..! :o).
Great tasty way to enjoy the good memories. Life is so restricted right now
ReplyDeletethat these moments are delightful. Sorry you do not want blueberries, Poppy.
My Dad was the same about pumpkin pie, never ever use butternut squash he told
my Mom but she had a few and made the pie and he ate it like it was his favorite
pumpkin.
I used to love those Sarah Lee Danish pastry desserts but haven't seen them in years.
ReplyDeleteThe company was split and became defunct in 2012..!
DeleteSarah Lee is no more? That's sad.
DeleteThat’s a nice story. It clearly couldn’t have been the taste of blueberries Dad disliked, just the idea of them. I think many people feel that way about some food or another. I’m glad this new Danish was as tasty.
ReplyDeleteSimples foods are the best for making memories
ReplyDeleteI’ve fooled many people into eating things but not quiet being totally honest.
Although I always ask if they have allergies first lol
Way to trick the GDad!
ReplyDeleteI think food triggers many memories. Thanks for sharing this .
ReplyDeletePoppy, dear, that's a very warming story for a cold spring morning here! Much appreciated!
