“Oh no, there are nothing but just fish! No ginger, garlic! No spice!”Uh-huh. Sure.
A couple comments were thrown around with the lovely (and oh-so-hilarious!) Snark Scribe on this post. That girl can really tell a story!!
Anyhow. With our crazy Asian upbringing, our mothers, grandmothers, and aunts were not always honest with us. I got a lot of this: “You eat all your rice or you will not pretty when you old!” and she got a lot of this: “Ginger is good for seasickness and your complexion! The reason your skin looks so old is because you don’t eat what I give you!”
What strange old wives’ tales did you get growing up? And anyone have any theories on why people link food with beauty? Because last I checked, overeating didn’t make you pretty… it just made you fat!
