Apple pancakes
As a chid I was very fussy when it came to eating. My grandmother used to live with us when I was growing up and this meant me and my siblings were spoiled rotten in regards to food. She was a willing chef who always gave us options at meal times such as “would you like fish or pasta with plain tomato sauce?” I am not even goin to tell you what our response was… It may sound absurd but my food habits only started to change when I moved to Germany, yes at 21! I am ashamed to say that the first time I ate prawns of my own accord was when I was living with my now husband. During my first few months over here I worked as an AuPair and had to eat whatever the family I worked for put on the table. I was quite surprised at the time by how the 3 children enjoyed all sorts of food incuding curry. And the youngest one was only 1! So it was time for me to change. One day the family called me down for lunch and I had my first cultural shock. It was sweet lunch.
