Good old fashioned home cooking

[megan07]

What was your favourite, i loved my nanas apple pie, her rice pudding, her new bread, and yorkshire pudding's.
With my mam, it's her cheese scones, her quiche, and pasties, my dad was a dab hand at making cinder toffee, can anyone remember cinder toffee.
So what do you like, what your nana, or mam is/was good at cooking. love megan. xxxxxxxx

I'm quite famous amongst my mates for my curries.... my dad was a good curry man too but he used curry powder whilst I like to make up my own mixes... My mother was renowned for her lentil soup and to this day I have not been able to get the recipe right - maybe it's just that I can't get hold of the same ingredients ? (different countries, different veg etc)

Skirt ( a cheap cut of beef used in steak pies) and tatties -just brilliant -o and mince and doughboys (balls) lol

I dont understand why more people dont ask for skirt at the butchers and neither do they -its is so tender -and its only about �1.60 per lb - its fantastic.

My nans bread pudding, and my mum in laws baked apples, and my wifes roast dinners are brilliant. hi megan, hope you are well xx

[raysparx1]

Ooohh Dris, I love a bit of skirt myself, lol, same thing with mutton, if cooked properly it is superb.

Hiya megan, hope you are well x....Oh mum used to cook a brilliant pan of scouse, pea soup with dumplings, corned beef pie (with the cup in the middle to hold the pastry up), lots of different cakes, bread pudding and homemade bread. I've tried other peoples but nothing comes close to mums x

Mum's home made soup, thick enough to stick a spoon in it , vegetable or lentil, made with hough. Lovely on a cold winter's day! Made with whatever was in season (fresh!)

And (only .in February) you used to get cod roe slices. Fried and with home-made chips - a real treat. Treacle pudding with vanilla sauce, - now you've got me started! :-)

Well i'll not be doing any good old fashioned cooking for a wee bit. Just had to call the gas board out as i couldn't turn my oven off as the knob broke. Had to switch off the gas at the mains until an engineer got here. He's disconnected it now and put a dangerous appliance sticker on it. :(((

What a night.

[megan07]

Louisa i'm sorry to hear that my love, i have given you some stars to cheer you up my love, big hugs, megan. xxxxx
