I'm old school, meat and potatoes guy

[Rider77]

I note that as I age I definitely fall into an old school class of guy. I still prefer the foods that I thrived on in my youth. My choices in music are considered out of date by my children and grandchildren. Most of my views on items in the news are old school without compromise, you'll hear me say, "that's stupid don't do it".

Being a card carrying geezer I'm not apologetic for my conservative and old man views. I've also noticed that I am pretty easily forgiven when my opinion is out of step with the younger crowd. For the most part I think youth is wasted on the young, and common sense is just a phrase to be ignored.

I agree about youth being wasted on the young.. ...however most of the food I was given as a child I wouldn't be able to stomach today..
That said my father was a meat & potatoes man... rarely ever ate anything sweet..nor bicuits or cake, and he didn't drink alochol ... .. and he would always crow about being the same weight in his old age as he was when he was a strapping 19 year old... ... he also walked a fair bit...

I believe his food choices were what kept him fit and healthy right up into his 8th decade

I'm not daring at all in my food choices. My children delight on Thai, sushi, and indian foods. My daughter taunts me about not eating green foods, I like pistachios, and sweet peas. Over the years I found it difficult to enjoy dining out in foreign lands, nearly starved in Germany. I just don't like greasy pork.

I pointed at an item on a menu in Saigon only to find out I had ordered rice and fish heads. England wasn't too bad for me, but we won't even discuss food in the middle east areas.

I have to agree with you about German food.... when we were there in the late80's early 90's the food was shocking. We couldn't believe how bad it was....
