Tonight I thought of something while I was eating homemade soup in the kitchen of my grandma's old house. I thought why is it that food never tastes this good anywhere else. Is it who makes it, the food itself, or where it is cooked?
Some of the thoughts I came up with were that one, I think that people today don't think it's that important to sit down as a family and eat a meal. Also, in today's society there is way more fast food, and with people running kids here and there and too tired to cook after work they just grab something to eat on the way home.
I also think that is has to do with who is cooking it, for instance my grandma makes great food because thats what she did when my mom was little she was a stay at home mom and she made all the meals, and they were about sitting down and eating together.
The food itself can be one because every always tries to add something to it, I think old fashion homemade food is great because it is plain.
And where it is cooked has a lot to do with it, I personally think my grandma's oven makes everything taste better, and so does her old cast iron pan.
So just a random thought that came to me, anyway what do you guys think, how is it that the way families eat meals has changed so much in just 20 to 30 years?

America decided, around the 1970's and 1980's, that fast was better than good (We've always liked cheap.). That's a reference to my father's advice, by the way, which I posted as a comment on here somewheres -- but I can't find it now. Anyway, homecooked meals are good because they aren't fast. Yes, a good old oven and a good old pan help with that, also because they aren't fast -- or at least aren't as cheaply made as our modern "conveniences." And yes, I also think the spirit of the food comes from the person making it, and their association with you -- which is why people often go to the same restaurant for years and years, because they build a relationship with the cooks, and with the food, and it makes it taste better. I know I would rather have my wife's cooking, or my mother's cooking, than any other food I know of.
