    Were childhood meals better back then - or has Gen Z secretly upgraded the game?

    • @Ailieorz
      @Ailieorz 2 months ago +26

      @funnydixit-y that's not the point, it's the fact that chicken nuggets are basically not actual chicken...

    • @funnydixit-y
      @funnydixit-y 2 months ago +10

      ​@AilieorzI get your point about store bought chicken nuggets.
      My comment was more about what she actually said that she never liked ketchup because it tastes industrial.
      To me, that suggests she probably never tried homemade ketchup, which is a bit sad, especially since many of us grew up with home cooked food.
      And yes, nugets can be industrial, but they can also be homemade, just like ketchup. In some countries, even store bought nuggets clearly list over 90% chicken, which honestly isn’t that bad.

    • @suebice7078
      @suebice7078 2 months ago +17

    • @SuzetteKath
      @SuzetteKath 2 months ago +13

      @suebice7078 They don't use beaks and legs in making the nuggets. If they did, it would be dangerous in the fact that those two items, especially leg bones would have sharp edges to them.

    The spaghetti and chicken nuggets was probably the worst meal there in terms of like, taste or what not, but lets be real, that is the MOST childhood thing ever. The other meals looked tastier but nothing says child more than spaghetti and chicken nuggets xD

      Funny thing, here in South Africa we do have Ketchup but it is not very popular. No what is *very*​ is a brand of thick, sweet tomato sauce that we get in glass bottles and put on just about anything; chips, burgers, into mince sauces, etc.

    • @The_Barbeque_Sauce
      @The_Barbeque_Sauce Month ago +1

      The taste of it, not necessarily the substance itself. I get what she means though -- Heinz to my taste buds is mostly vinegar and tomato acid, with an incredibly sweet aftertaste that doesn't match the initial flavour. It works very well with rice, but for the qualities it brings rather than the taste. Like, if I taste ketchup instead of tangy and slightly fruity-sweet rice, I added too much.

    • @blandrooker6541
      @blandrooker6541 2 months ago +12

      Fun fact, back when we Boomers were young, Brussels Sprouts were loathed because of the bitterness. Over the years, agricultural scientists have bred out the bitterness from them so today's sprouts are nothing like they were in the past, which is why they actually taste good now. As a Chef, I think I noticed the change in the early 2000s when all of a sudden they were on every menu. Honestly, the difference in taste is phenomenal, in other words, they no longer taste like shit. 😊

      @ChrisLeonard-np7lh I loved broccoli, but I hated brussel sprouts, and still do. I have seen like, American thanksgiving ones though where they're roasted with various herbs and spices and butter and so on, so I MIGHT be convinced to try those ones. But steamed and boiled ones are still out. Maybe that's why Priska was a picky eater, because if I know Irish grannies (and I do, I had two and my mother is also one) they're probably going to boil the shit out of most veggies. That trend stops with Irish millennials though, some of which are already grannies lol

      lol and ketchup is chemical but chicken nuggets are 👍 ? I think maybe ketchup was too vinegary for her, not too chemical. That’s an unusually bland child. Even my very fussy, simple Gen Z kid (who only got the nerve to try Taco Bell tacos at 24) always wanted marinara on his noodles & bbq sauce for chicken. I didn’t force food on him, but I did not just cater to blandness, I inched him toward increasingly “average” eating preferences very slowly, so he could see that it isn’t scary but it is a good thing to keep trying new foods. Both for yourself and honestly so you aren’t a pain in the butt socially.

      I didn't like the sauce so I would just take plain spaghetti and put salt and butter on it.
      As much as I did eat that as a kid I wouldn't serve it as an example of a childhood dish lmao.

      I'm an Elder Millenial and I agree. If I could only pick one of them to try, it'd be the Liver and Bacon with Lamb Heart. Honestly Priska's looked terrible and those nuggets looked like the pre-frozen kind, which kind of makes her whole anti-ketchup argument seem weeeeeird. Mozza was also a weird choice for the pasta. Based on her other scores I assume she doesn't really eat outside a very small comfort zone.

    • @standdownrobots_ihaveoldglory
      @standdownrobots_ihaveoldglory 2 months ago +9

      @Ghost-MomI think she might have confused flavor for “chemicals.” I had a fussy eater too, and didn’t force him, but did not cater to blandness. Gently expanding tastes & textures, going to “weird” restaurants, etc, no pressure but not green lighting an unnecessarily restrictive diet. As a very thin person on a strict medical diet that gets confused for ED I hate myself for saying this but aggressively bland food, being defensive about a verrrrrrry bland meal, and being very thin suggests an ED or ARFID that may be interfering in life. My son has pushed himself a bit recently to eat more foods, to save money, & I’m so glad he had a childhood of successes in that regard. ARFID itself isn’t the end of the world but I can confirm that “weird” eating habits can create social awkwardness. People are put off by extreme restriction and pickiness. One reason I introduced fried shrimp early to my son was that if you like seafood, you can eat most cuisines, and then he liked calamari and being able to eat something other than chick nuggs at a fancy restaurant is an adulting skill you need. That calamari is his go-to lol, it’s not too weird or too simple and it’s popular globally.

Which I thought was wild at the time. I'd rarely get junk food at home. Maybe a frozen pizza now and again. And I'm from Ireland (like Priska's granny apparently). My daughter is Gen Z and a picky eater and she'd still have butter with her pasta. But she loved my mash so I'd try to get her to eat that instead lol.

      I knew a girl back in the day, and she was so picky, that the only thing she'd eat for lunch were Tayto sandwiches. Taytos are like, cheese and onion flavoured crisps (or chips if you're American) that are made here in Ireland, and the sandwich with them would just be two slices of white bread and butter and the crisps lol. I always thought she should look way more malnourished than she did. Maybe her parents were making her eat fortified cereals or something as well 🤣

    My grandma used to cooked chicken hearts and I always liked it. Never was a fan of liver but I’d eat it over those spaghetti any day.
