The discussion revolves around a personal experience at a Vietnamese restaurant where the owner, known for her hospitality, offers unique side dishes alongside pho, including potato salad, which she learned to make from a friend in Alaska. The diner humorously reflects on the cultural differences in food, suggesting they might bring the owner an Elvis Presley cookbook and other "white people" recipes. The conversation shifts to a light-hearted critique of various American dishes, particularly jello salads and Miracle Whip, with participants sharing their own food memories and experiences, including humorous references to cooking mishaps and nostalgic dishes. The dialogue also touches on the enriching experience of living in different cultures and the surprising nature of certain traditional foods, like pumpkin pie. Overall, the thread captures a blend of culinary exploration, humor, and cultural exchange.

I'm frightened that someone here remembers that car. I finally got rid of it last may, after pouring a good $3k into it over the previous year. Driving a PT cruiser now. My younger sibling has the sebring now, and he wrecked it within 4 months. :eek:

At least you didnt get a motorcycle and kill yourself.

Correction: At least you didn't get a motorcycle and have someone kill you with their car.
