Yukon River Grayling

Italian parents and born in Germany was fortunate to have tried some of these dishes soon with the new generation it will be forgotten to bad nice hear it still exists.

While VBB eats.........................


Nuclear... listen....... you need to promote your heritage and make sure your kids appreciate where they came from, the foods, traditions, etc. I hope your kids appreciate all of this. Italian?? Germany???? Endless amounts of great foods.

When I read what backwoodsmanbob and Northern Ghost wrote, well, it was just too cool.

Life maybe short, but living a good life makes it all better. The good old days can still be good.

I grew up with parents who made a lot of borscht. I hated it. Years later, I love it and any time we see a Russian restaurant we make a run to have some. I miss many of the ethnic foods.

Don't put it off, ever.......

tuna

If truth be known Tuna,and don't get me wrong. I appreciate my European heritage,my dad grew up in Minsk and later the Black Carpathian Mountain Range as a Woodcutter (lumber jack).

But I was envious of early Canadian settlers with generations of family lineage,where I had no Uncles,Aunts or cousins. My family line dies without continuation with me and my sister,no kids. I started traveling at 17 on a dirt Hwy 11 to the North and absorbing it all in.

Total respect then and now for the people who live and make their living in Northern Ont and enjoy an uncomplicated lifestyle. As for the moniker "outdoors man" don't know if that would apply to me, from what I read on this forum and the people I have gotten to know there are many people who could easily survive in the bush,I have no delusions on that score. Very knowledgable and able men/women.

Growing up on the farm helped a lot,being exposed to all kinds of weather,reading weather,fixing things inventing things yada,yada,yada! Your lifestyle wouldn't be hard for me to take,sun,surf,desert and a cornucopia of seafood and exotics,are you kidding me! And the odd earth shake just to break up the boredom if there is such a thing for you out in California. L.O.L!

I love when people will try new food. I goto my neighbours cottage and they are the pickiest people i know. Its all chicken brest and beef patties. No tomatoes, mushrooms, pickles...no picled beets... ho estly.

I used to eat tripe a friends house(italian) i was told after i ate what it was and it was still good and i ate it again. Always knew it was tripe night when the house smelled like hay!

There a good jamacian food.place that jas great chicken foot soup and pig tail and red pea soup. You never know if you dont try and if you let your btain get in the way of your taste buds.

I was born in that area and spent a lot of my childhood in these mountains.
And i eat all the good stuff too.

all you guys say is true, but with my kids I feel that although it is nice to understand their linage but not need to follow the European ways I grew up with. Things such as languages, my dad spoke 9 and I only speak 4, they only needed two, English and French. As far as food they enjoy many of the Hungarian dishes but have their limits.

I don't think kids will ever be like us older farts and have traditions we still follow nor will they have the respect for their elders as we do but hopefully they will grow to take over for us.

There is lots that can be said, but I hate typing.

I couldn't have said it better,nor would I have tried!
