"My dad rarely cooked but when he did it was always fritters and egg not sure I remeber him ever cooking anything else haha. My mam and dad grew up poor and carried on most of the eating habits they had into adulthood just out of habit, we ate rabbit very often and home made chips most nights " Nothing wrong with rabbit. Not so popular here but very much so in other countries like Spain, Portugal, Greece etc | |||

"Not my mum but my grandma used to do lots but mutton stew and stuffed marrow. You can hardly get mutton these days" Similar, they were from very humble background like a lot of east enders at the time.. It was about maximum calories to sustain hard work and making it stretch as far as possible as money was hard earned. Hearts, liver, kidneys, pies and stews with pearl barley and dumplings and root veg. Suet, stodgy puddings. Trouble is if youre less physical... It piles on the pounds (or kilos) | |||

"We all have a food or dish our parents cooked that lives with us now as comfort food dont we? What’s yours? What did your mum or day make you that was awesome? " I dont know about awesome but I do recall spending what seemed like two or three weeks, while my mother spent time in hospital, being fed every day on my father’s attempt at Lancashire hotpot. God! That was grim. It is not like I cannot eat Lancashire hotpot at all these days. If it is well made I can even almost enjoy it, but no matter how spectacular it is, it brings back those memories of that gastronomic torture. | |||

"Gonna ruin this for you now Woody... absolutely not. My mum was an awful cook. Really bad. Terrible. But my Nanna was fabulous. She made the best dinners. And I hope I do justice to her beef n ale pie. That was the nuts" My mum wasn’t great, (Ive said this before) … Bug bc what I did realise from her was the benefits of one pot cooking. Just less washing up. So I make a beef chilli because of her, but much much better. | |||

" my mother threw everything in a chip pan that probably didn't have a clean for a few years " This. Burgers like rugby balls and a strange wax on the outside of the pan. Eventually it caught fire. Bizarrely both parents outlived their “healthy” siblings by a huge amount. | |||

"My grandma used to do steak with a sauce made from whole grain mustard and cream, with new potatoes, broad beans, and broccoli. I still love it now " Bloody hell. I had beans in toast most nights. Is your mum Gordon Ramsay? | |||

Is your mum Gordon Ramsay? " That was my grandma! She also used to do fresh rainbow trout with almonds which contributed to my absolute hatred of fish as an adult I think My mum made great lasagne | |||

"My mum could burn water! X" Oh that was my sibling. They boiled an egg in a pan without any water. Insert *facepalm emoji I’m convinced I was adopted. | |||

"My Indian grandmother cooked a proper curry. Took her ages. She died and never wrote down any of the the recipes bc she said she never knew them. I didn't eat a curry after for years. None of her children knew either so died with her " Oh this is so sad!!! I always ask for recipes now - I’m not the greatest cook but someone in the family might be xx J x | |||

"What did your parents cook?" Every last single bit of deliciousness and vitamins out of whatever they threw in the pan. They cooked food so that it no longer resembled food. It was a sort of grey, microbial swamp-sludge with "bits" in it. Had DNA testing been available at the time, I suspect that forensically it might have been meat. Meat with tubes in it. I never did work out what the tubes were for. My father never cooked. He did not know how to. My mother didn't like cooking. Grandma however was an amazing cook. She'd let me help and get stuck in mixing flour and making cakes and making a hell of a mess. I loved it. Mother came in one day to see myself and Grandma in the kitchen. I was covered in flour and the place was a mess. She asked "What the hell are you doing?" and Grandma said "He's having fun. You leave him alone." Mother shut up. And Grandma instilled in me a love of cooking, which I still have to this day. Over 100+ cookbooks in the library. | |||
