Had to pick between my mom's original meatloaf recipe and my aunt's 'improved' version for my son's birthday dinner.

I went with my mom's old recipe using a full pound of ground chuck and a quarter cup of ketchup in the glaze, and the whole table went quiet for a minute because it tasted exactly like my childhood, so has anyone else had to make a tough call between two family recipes that felt like picking sides?

Damn, that's picking a side with your taste buds.

Taste buds never lie.

Remember when @lucasjackson tried that ghost pepper salsa, his face told the whole story before he even said a word. Sometimes your body just reacts faster than your brain can make a choice. It's like your taste buds vote and your whole system has to live with the results.
