Then it got me thinking of other “new” foods and the closest thing we had during our small-kid-time days.
Off Track: Foods – Yesterday and Today
From the Midlife Crisis Hawaii website
The other night I was having a bowl of Vietnamese pho with my daughter and I was telling her that pho is a new thing for us. When we were growing up, we only had saimin. The local kine like Hall Saimin, Saimin House, Tanouye’s, or the Chinese kine you get at the chop suey joints. I think pho didn’t become Hawaii mainstream until around the 90’s? I didn’t start eating it until just about 5 years ago! How’s that for a late bloomer?
