Here, it has always been about meat, and I don't even like it that much. :-\ I'm not a vegetarian, but I also don't need meat every day, and the family just doesn't get it. Sadly.

It's a bit hard to explain how they tick, but they're just so old-school. My father always explains that they have always cooked like that because back then, they needed the calories for strength, as they were working on fields. I get that, but we're not doing that anymore, so we should change that in our cooking, too, I think.
