Message: [QUOTE="vtcwbuff, post: 3714480, member: 1197"] When I got married I was stationed in Germany. My wife is German and under the Status of Forces Agreement at the time we would have had to get permission from the Army and the German Govt. So we flew to Las Vegas and got married. My mom had everything arraigned, the church, reception, and the hotel suite for our wedding night. My wife had never eaten any American food except for McDonald's, so the first day after arriving she had her normal breakfast of bread and cold cuts and lunch was a fish mac and fries. Dinner was a BBQ over at one of brothers house, she started with the salad and fruit but didn't want the ribs, hot dogs or hamburger. I had gone to the butcher shop and bought a couple of porterhouse steak's for my dad and me. When I started in on the steak she asked if she could taste it, that was the last bite I had of the porterhouse and ended up eating ribs. We've been married 44+ years and she still won't eat ribs, hot dogs, or hamburger, but put a porterhouse in front of her and she will hurt you if try to eat it. [/QUOTE] I had a similar experience the first time I brought my future wife home to meet my parents. Not porterhouse but frog legs! They were considered a delicacy and a special meal at our house. When my wife saw what my mother was preparing for dinner she blanched and asked me if she would have to eat them. I told her no, that they were just part of the meal and my mother was also serving fish. I convinced her to try just one and to her credit she did. We had to fight her for the remainder of the bowl. If you have never had fresh, cold water frog legs (not the tough, swampy bullfrogs) dredged in flour and fried in bacon grease (what else) you have really missed out on a treat. [/QUOTE]
