OMG I remember my mum's mince -1lb mince one chopped onion half pint water two oxo cubes - all boiled to bu**ery for abot an hour ,served with dark greens also boiled to bu**ery and boiled potatoes with eyes stareing at you!
My poor old mum couldn't cook she regularly exploded eggs when boiling them , if my dad was home (he did shift work) he cooked and was a fabulous cook.
Re the lamb stew , my daughter and granddaughters love my brown lamb stew ,so much so that I have to cook when I go to their house ,if my daughter makes it they say its not the same.
Favourite food memory ,my brother comeing home from the far east (RAF) and cooking lamb curry and rice, no curry can compair I can still smell an taste it
