Thanks Suzan. I was thinking of something similar ... how Christmas Dinner (or any of the holiday family dinners) used to consist of whatever roasted or baked meat (ham, turkey, beef etc.. ) served up with candied yams, mashed white potatoes, corn and stuffing. We just automatically considered the yams, spuds and corn as vegetables. A leafy salad was unheard of .. I cringe now to think how much food I used to eat as a youngster at these family gatherings and thought it was perfectly NORMAL.

Happy New Year, and happy low-carbing to all
