I was born of Wisconsin parents. So I was brought up that every meal had red meat. Breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Meals with meat were about 12 times a week.
I never really thought about it until I got married. She's Catholic, so so on lent she explained she couldn't eat meat. I said; "No problem, I'll make duck"
Anyway. My favorite meal has ALWAYS been a steak. Once I could afford it about three to four nights a week.
Never got tired of it. I spent 2 years at cooking school and learned to cook. I can make a steak better than almost any steak place.
When I worked in Japan the cost was astronomical. I still ate steak.
About four months ago I quit craving steak. I just didn't want it anymore. A few times I just bought it anyway figuring the craving would come back.
Nothing.
I asked Doctor Wife about it and she said nothing.
Still it bothered me, 30 years straight of craving it then suddenly didnt even like it.
Weird. To me it was like waking up and suddenly being left handed.
Still bothers me when I think about it.
Now Father's day is coming up. My parents are coming into town and I was planning to take my Dad to a nice steak house.
But my mother informed me that about four months ago my father ceased liking steaks.
WTF? Did the planet change rotation in February?
Strange. Especially since I haven't seen my parents since Christmas.
Anyone ever hear of this or is it just a bizarre coincidence?
