Memories Of Home (Food Related Of Course)

[mccfluff]

I'm staying at hotel of mother tonight and i'm really looking forward to a "mum" meal

I have put various requests in and judging by the weird text i got this morning i think i am getting beef in black bean sauce

so what's you favourite "mum " meal (other relatives can be substituted)

Roast dinner, that's the only thing my mum cooks well, and well it is.

Nothing my mother cooked Fluff but my daughter always request my roast potatoes and yorkshire puddings which is fine...but when she asks for my mince because it reminds her of her school dinners I can't decide whether that's a compliment or not. x

My aunt would often cook me and my brother, good old fashioned Toad in the hole. but would add leeks i with the gravy. Its still the one meal that takes me right back to being about 8 years old , and eating it on a winters night.

My late mum was a dreadful cook and things like Fray Bentos pies featured largely in her repertoire.
She once bought some rump steak and it was like boot leather. I can remember her saying "It shouldn't be so tough, I cooked it for the best part of an hour."
She also believed all vegetables should be boiled hard for 30 minutes. I grew up thinking mushy veg were the norm.

liver, bacon, onions, mash, cabbage thick gravy and a rice pudding to follow...

[mccfluff]

if she requests it, then its got to be good ..... thats the way i'd look at it

i love mums roasts and i really want pots dauph with cauli cheese AND roast pots but i think i'm probably just being piggy

I think our mums went to the same school of domestic science Mrs O I learned to cook as a survival strategy

[mccfluff]

lol, sounds like i was lucky my mums an ace cook and it was varied - shes malaysian but living in africa/europe and england we never knew what we were going to have....

[ummmm]

I loved my nans homemade cod in butter sauce that she used to make just for me.

[sara3]

my mum's a rubbish cook. she puts veg on before a joint of meat :'(

egg and chips.. food of my childhood!

[society]

Anything my mum cook is delicious. Even if she served boiled water it would be delicious and tasty. No one could cook like she does.

At the moment I'd love roti with curried chickpeas and potatoes.

Chicken soup made on Saturday night for Sunday. The ingredients were a boiling chicken, 'soup vegetables' and 'soup mixture'. The mixture was mostly barley with some peas and lentils. Served with boiled potatoes it might also appear on Monday and Tuesday.

My late mum's roast dinners - with Yorkshire puds as big as York Minster (well, ok a bit of an exaggeration) - and Gooseberry tart with goosegogs out of our garden and thick custard - oooooh, I can taste it now .... mmmm - right, back to my cuppa soup......

[mrs_overall]

rowan, snap!

I consider myself a good cook. I was determined to do better than my ma

My Mother was a good, solid meat and two veg kind of a cook.

I can't recall a particular meal that I would like of hers but I know if she came back to haunt me with grey lamb stew with slimy pearl barley I'd see to it that she got repositioned in the seven circles of hell.

[ummmm]

My mum is a good cook but she stopped cooking midweek meals when I was about 10. Not sure why. We had a choice, live on sandwiches and toast or learn to cook. I learnt to cook while my sister lived on beans on toast and scrambled eggs.

My Mum is a fantastic cook and baker as was my wee Nonna up to the day she died at 92.

I have said it many times but Nonna's lasagne, gnocchi and sugo take me back to Italy as a child.

Mum's brodo cures every illness there is...in fact, I was convinced it would heal my ankle! ;) Her roast dinners are amazing too.

[society]

Mum makes the best soup ever - yellow split peas, green bananas, a variety of ground tubers or provisions and dumpling. I wish I had some now.

My siblings and myself and my dad friends love to visit just to eat Mum's food. And they had the nerves to say this. :)

[pusskin]

My mum wasnt a brilliant cook, but her mince stews with dumplings were gorgeous.
It was her mince stews that fed us kids and got me used to eating eat --I hated meat!!!

[maggiebee]

Loved my mum's mince, tatties and doughballs/mealie puddings. Funnily enough my grandaughter thinks I make the best mince and tatties in the world. My daughter always puts in her request for this too when she's visiting. Praise indeed!
