When I married my husband, we had a real laugh the first time we had both sets of parents over for a deli lunch. My parents wanted pumpernickel or rye shmeared with horseraddish or mustard; my in-laws wanted white bread lathered with butter or mayo. Oy! Somehow, we’ve survived 30 years of marriage, and our two families are very close.

Btw, my hubby “saw the light” and now has a kosher stomach - we go through the mustard and horseraddish like there’s no tomorrow, but a jar of mayo expires before we use it up.

It will be interesting to see how our DS fares gastronomically - he’s a CT Yankee (and die-hard Yankees fan) who will be going to a southern school. At least they’re opening an Einstein bagels place on campus this year.
