childhood favourite

Cheese on toast - loved it, lived on it. This tells you something about Mum's cooking! She once made a rice pudding and the rice was not cooked - she served it out and we all started crunching away and grumbling and she got very cross and said she was tired of us grumbling about her cooking and we must eat it up - then she started on her helping!!! Oh dear.

She was OK at roast dinners, but the veg were more laundered than cooked - yuk!

My mum made a lovely sort of quiche which was absolutely packed with chopped fresh parsley, held together with an egg or two, and sometimes chopped bacon. Yum! Managed to re-create something similar while she was alive, but when I asked her about it, she made it up as she went along depending on what ingredients she had!

Rabbit stew with seasoned Yorkshire pudding, along with cod cooked in the oven with parsley sauce, were probably the only two meals my mother cooked that I always enjoyed. She made meat and potato pie every week and I hated it because it was rather tasteless and she would make the pastry the way my father liked it - pallid and about an inch thick, with thin gravy. I was made to eat it, but swore once I left home I never would again. However.... it is now a family favourite, made my way! No thin gravy in this house.
The rabbit stew I only have now if we go out. DH cannot stand being anywhere near rabbit. It goes back to his childhood when he had to pick up from the station a brace of rabbits his grandmother used to put on the train from Brecon every week. To have to carry them home invariably made him sick.

Meat and potato pie. After fifty years of trying to recreate it I have now given up, ditto anything involving pastry.

In cafes I always had baked beans on toast which I liked at home too. At home also fried mushrooms on toast, Toast and dripping, from the roast, was a treat on Sunday evenings with plenty of salt. Shepherd's pie made with lamb leftover from Sunday minced in the metal mincer.
By 6 I refused to drink milk but got through quite a lot of orange squash. Then Corona fizzy drinks started home delivery, not a good idea! My father had a 'Beer at Home Means Davenports' delivery of 6 bottles in a wooden case.
I was also enjoyed boiled gammon, especially the parsley sauce (parsley from the garden) which I mashed into my potatoes. When we had the Sunday roast I mashed the potatoes and gravy together.

Shepherds Pie - still is but mine is much tastier than my mother's version ( she used to put venom in her food).

Everything my mum made which was all very traditional!

I think my favourite was boiled gammon or bacon with parley sauce, potatoes and runner beans from the garden.
And sponge puddings and custard.

I don't recall a favourite meal. I remember saying that I didn't like food - I was an odd child! Because I was so skinny, mum tried to feed me up by making me a rice pudding every day for a while (naturally I liked that!).

Funny you say that Morgana my Mum made a wicked corn beef hash pie with mushy peas I still make the pie occasionally but now I'm cutting trying to cut down on salt the last time I made it I wasn't so keen as it tasted really salty..
