Gastronomy: European women cook,American women open a can?

[Nunya Bidness]

Lots of American women cook from scratch on a regular basis, myself included. The food tastes better, is less expensive and I actually enjoy creating dishes to serve my family.

With that said, I will admit that I have opened cans many a day when I'm rushed or tired, or just plain lazy. You can do many things with canned food that is still creative and delicious.

Hope this answers your question.

Oh, honey----where do you get this stuff? Of course your quotation is false. American women and men cook all the time.

Plus we have full grocery shelves and the best ingredients from around the country and globe all year long. Are you going to tell us that Europeans don't have canned goods? Guess what---I have been to Europe and have seen canned food in the markets. Hmmmm....... What do you suppose that means?

Excuse me ? I believe this is a prejudicial remark.

I am a great cook and I love to cook. I learned to cook from my Mom, who learned to cook from her Mom, who learned to cook from her Mom, and on and on and on.

I have published cook books (you know, the kind they do for family reunions and office functions) and I am always researching and passing on hints / recipes to friends and internet connections.

I love to experiment with different spices, meats, and fruits and vegetables to make something unique for my family that is nutritious. I love to use fresh foods and rarely, if ever, used canned goods to prepare dinner for my family.

I love knowing I am making my family a good meal and that we are saving money by not eating out.

In addition, I work full time and I go to university.

I am American.
