freezer burn 3/11/05

Five seconds ago it was snowing; now the sun is trying to come out.
Even the weather moves fast and is slightly schizzy in New York.
Mrs. Mogul had a post yesterday on the difference between sandwiches in London and New York.
It began me thinking about how I'm probably the only New Yorker, maybe American, who hates bagels. My mother had a thing for buying perfectly good bagels, freezing them at once, and waiting until they had freezer burn to serve them.
I could never understand that as she was an excellent cook who froze everything, yes, most women of her generation did, but bagels were the only thing that she'd freezer burn. Since she liked them toasted until they were burnt. We had an ongoing debate about bagels.
Just wondering what foods people are supposed to like but don't. And if it was your parents who started you on the road to not loving it.
