Thanks
Well they're a strange brew so if they managed to get over their reticence, sampled it and liked it up to about the 90's they're alright with it, if the concept (or their gobs
) didn't arrive on a particular food until later in life it's mostly a no. So stir fries, curry, chinese and french cooking is liked even though that's foreign
Breakfast casseroles, frittata, chilaquiles would be treated with suspicion but hueves rancheros is a yes because the ingredients are familiar and recognisable.
As I said they're like most of that older gen funny about food.
They're also ok if a dish is similar to something else they've had.
I'm steering away from a roast just because I don't want to have to produce a thousand roast potatoes
I suppose I should be more tolerant of their attitude, it is normal to get less adventurous and want things to stay the same as you get older. I'm sure the irascible old man (or woman) is common in every culture.
It's just their attitude towards it all that irks a bit!
I've filled and baked croissants a lot over the years but never wrapped them in foil. Is that just to keep them hot? Does the croissant get stuck to the foil at all?
