Nearly 250 years have passed since the first Independence Day and I can’t help but wonder how the dining habits of our forefathers differ from today's traditions. The first food fad arguably didn’t roll around until the Boston Tea Party in 1775 when most of the country traded in their teacups for coffee mugs. Perhaps it isn’t ironic, then, that only after gaining independence did we began to see small revolutions in American food culture as well. Thomas Jefferson, in particular, led the way. |

“Don’t play with your food!” she shouted along with other such orders as “elbows off the table,” and “chew with your mouth closed.” But while mothers worldwide teamed together to civilize dinnertime across the land, the devious child within us couldn’t help but construct our mashed potato volcanoes.

To relive a perfect meal would be fantastic, but what creation would I be missing while dining on the repeat? That’s a question I simply cannot live with.

Last night I went out for sushi, my favorite treat. I went through my usual sashimi choices and then opted for a roll claiming to be filled with crabmeat. Only one bite was needed to determine that I was indeed not eating crab at all, but its common substitute, surimi. Even though I did not technically receive what I ordered, I was unsurprised by the switch out. The truth is, fish substitutions are more common than you may think and |
