There's always a day when you decide to go out to a restaurant instead of eating at home.
When you look at a menu, you invariably see offerings such as "homemade meat loaf", "home fries", homemade soup", "homemade apple pie", etc.
This brings up questions: What really is "homemade" food? And why did you go out to eat when "homemade" is at home?
