NFR: Food question.

[BigbadBillyMcKinley]

If someone asked you what food reminds you of your youth/parents house, what would you say?

[Art Vandelay]

A nice Sunday Roast, nothing better  :003:

Goes without saying. What about midweek, after school stuff.

Mum used to make a lasagne and a bolognesse pasta bake because my dad was adamant he didn't like Lasagne. After 20 years, he realised he like it much to my mothers delight. So homemade lasagne, pasta bake and garlic bread was the staple, every week.

Chicken dumplings, Beef stuffed cabbage or Bratwurst Stewed with Sauerkraut remind me of my youth with my mom, my Aunts and Grandma all cooking.   :wine:

[Woolly Mammoth]

Pie and Mash

[bobbo]

Salt beef (brisket) with dumplings it was a cheap meal then , but now become a bit cocky , £12 for a salt beef sarnie in selfridges.

Liver and Bacon....... very good for you I'm told, but, not tasted since I left home over 50 years ago.

Sunday tea time Winkles and celery...... now, that I would try again.

See through vegetables. A vegetable wasn't cooked in our house until every once of colour had been boiled out of it.

i was about to say the same. Every Tuesday liver and bacon - i hate the stuff.
Sunday - roast
Monday - cold meat leftovers
Tuesday - liver and bacon
Wednesday - shepherds pie
Thursday - cant remember
Friday - fish and chips
Saturday - pie at football

Vegetables - cabbage and carrots - boiled to hell so they were soggy
Repeat each week but that was all they could afford

My mum used to fry mushrooms in beef dripping. Christ, they stank and the stumps looked like stubbed out fagends. I can't bear the thought of mushrooms since.

Nicer memories are bacon and onion roly-poly, spotted dick, home-made brawn and my gran's sausage rolls.

Ah! smoked pork, sauerkraut and dumplings!

[toshes mate]

Bread Pudding.  My Grandma used to make the most delectable I have ever smelled or tasted.  The recipe is still a (supposed) family secret and is just something about how you prepare the bread.

[filham]

Rolley Polley, Suet pudding cooked wrapped in the same grubby old cloth fixed with a couple of big safety pins.

[snarks]

Sugar sandwiches anyone?

Yep loved those - only white bread obviously.

Also remember tins of fruit cocktail with evaporated milk as a "pudding" we always used to argue over who had the lone cherry.

However what always reminds me of home, especially when growing up, is my mother doing a stuffed marrow for my Dad. It wasn't done very often and I couldn't stand it, but it is a very vivid memory.

[Fernhurst]

Stuffed marrow ........ completely forgotten that delicacy!!
Always had loads of dripping, sugar and banana sandwiches.
Made it this far (over 70) on a such a strange diet.
