Um...didn't think much about food in the '80s
That's what I thought too until I realized that I actually did: the ritualistic pizza every Friday night, my obsession with Doritos when watching videos, my craving for Mexican food after trying it for the first time, chili my dad used to make every Saturday, and so on.
I also recall when frozen yogurt was the latest craze. I bought some whenever I could :bluesad:

Come to think of it, there was a little Italian deli near where I worked that we'd go to for lunch. Best meatball sandwiches in the entire world :teddyr:
My mom used to make some awesome sandwiches too - sourdough bread with lots of meat, lettuce, cheese - Mmmmmm :thumbup:
