/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Talk to my ma yesterday. We're Vietnamese and she was born in the late 50s. Asked her what she ate as a kid. Basically it looked something like that. Lots of greens. Some pickled vegetables. And of course rice. She said they had meat maybe once a month. Once in a while they'll have tofu and some kind of nuts/legumes. But most days their meals would look like that.
Obviously they ate this way because of the circumstances of the time. Still my great grandfather lived till 85 and had no belly even when old. My grandfather developed a belly after retirement, had a stroke and was bedridden in his early 70s and died late 70s.
I'm starting to think perhaps the best diet for each of us consists mostly of what our ancestors ate. Not what some ass shat on the the internet says. Almonds and olive might be healthy but no Vietnamese tasted that shit 1000 years ago.
So yeah share your ancestors diet.
