RAVING/HAPPY SH!T MEGATHREAD

My father was Hungarian, his father was Hungarian, his grandfather was the first son of a famous Hungarian painter.

But Lazio denied the ethnic authenticy of two dishes i'd learned from my dad growing up in Canada with a mom from Wales who didn't like to cook.

I have one Jewish grandparent. That was enough to disappear over a dozen relatives on a train north (to Poland?) of which my father was only to return (he was an early teenager in 1944 when he jumped from the train and traveled by night back home - none of his brothers or sisters (he was the oldest male of 11 kids) were ever seen again, and uncles, aunts.

Harrison Ford has a Jewish grandparent, but that was in America not Hitler's Europe in the 1930s.

I want to RAVE about how Canada welcomed my dad as a young man, how he worked hard despite not having his mechanical engineering education from Budapest recognized, how he married my Welsh mom then tried to raise both me and her daughter from a jailed ex. Ugh.

I certainly RAVE (this is the thread) about my dad teaching me how to make noodles from scratch. Lots of flour is wasted, a girlfriend of mine once said. It's the family way i said.

My grandfather's grandfather's father is a famous Hungarian painter. My grandfather's brother has had lasting fame in engineering. Few of us carry the family name. I failed to give him a grandchild that lived. But he has a lot of brothers and sisters, so the family lives on.

You really act about it like I deeply hurt your feelings. I merely asked for clarification which could've helped to figure out what exactly you meant.
If someone told me there is a Korean dish that resembles lasagna, I would raise an eyebrow and I'm sure you would as well. What you said sounded a bit like that.
It was 순대국, right?

What was the other thing? Something with cottage cheese? I realize that was the closest substitute your father could get but it's a bit of an offense to mention that on the same page with turo. If you tried both, you would agree.
It's like if I chopped up some cabbage, sprinkled salt an red chili flakes on it, added a splash of vinegar and then called it kimchi. Sorry but it can't possibly be referred to as authentic at that point.

Well, your dad might have been Hungarian but you're not, and given your dubious memory of things, it would be Lazio who I'd be backing as correct every time.

Also, get some professional help...you are in your 50s and you seem to have a number of unresolved childhood issues. This is a reoccurring theme and while it is easy to roll one's eyes at your repetitive 'family saga posts', you are obviously in distress and calling out for attention and maybe even help. Get some!

I'm going to agree with Rye here and to be honest Van, I don't think we're the audience you're looking for.

Tru dat.
