you loved as a kid, but can't imagine why you loved it so much thinking back on it now.
Inspired by RHTig's love of Peas and Mashed Taters.
My mom used to make tuna salad, mashed potatoes (from a box) and Lesueur sweet peas from the silver can.
My brother and I looked forward that that #### and now it seems like something you would serve to prisoners in a movies scene about how ###### food in prison.

Aug 25, 2022, 10:35 AM

and some hamburger meat. Cook separate. Mix together. Called it Chili-mac even though there was no seasoning in it.
My mother was terrible about seasoning anything.

Well, seasoning, that's a whole other thread...
Aug 25, 2022, 10:44 AM

my mom never seasoned anything. We had a whole spice cabinet and I'm pretty sure salt was the only thing we ever had to buy more than once. I remember thinking I hated fish my whole childhood and then one time I asked if I could make mine myself and she let me. Some whitefish. But I added butter, onion, garlic, salt and pepper to the pan and seared it good. If I'd have known about thyme and rosemary at that point that dinner would probably have been a near sexual experience.
Then, after I moved out, she bought a subscription to Bon Appetit magazine and started making all this fancy hoity toity stuff.

My mother sent a perlow over the other week
Aug 25, 2022, 10:46 AM

because she made too much.
0 ####### salt or pepper.
Literally just rice, sausage, and chicken.
No seasoning at all.

"Hamburger casserole"
Aug 25, 2022, 10:38 AM
|
|
Loved it as a kid, but then as an adult I realize it's just unseasoned, undercooked white potatoes and crappy ground beef with off-brand cheddar cheese and cream of mushroom soup.
It's gruel and I don't have the heart to tell her.

Liverwurst on white bread with ketchup.
Aug 25, 2022, 10:42 AM
|

I forget if it was deli sliced or what, but the log of wurst was wrapped in a label and when you carve or peel off a slice you'd have to remove the ring of label from around the edge. Some things are easier done than said.
Anyway, looking back... heinous. I almost want to try it again out of morbid curiosity.

I like to think of myself as intelligent...
Aug 25, 2022, 10:50 AM

but then I am told stories of my childhood like this:
When I was 3-5 years old, I LOVED goose liver pate. My grandmother would make it when we visited but if they didn't watch my little toddling butt, I'd go in the kitchen and get it out of the fridge and start eating it. However, my first memory of Goose Liver Pate is getting caught closer to 5-6 years old, and my dad saying, "I don't get why you are so obsessed with that. You hate liver."
Picture the world swirling around you as my little brain realizes that Goose LIVER Pate is made from LIVER, the food I hate worst in the whole world. And all of a sudden the taste hit me. Never ate it again.

I miss pretty much everything my mother used to make.

I was a picky eater (like most kids, I suppose) and didn't like very many vegetables, but my mother did her best to make things palatable to me that I would eat. Now, as an old fart, I'm like a catfish on the bottom of lake Hatwell, I like almost everything, and scarf up whatever is in front of me.

known through-out the county as being one of the best around. All my friends, my inlaws, friends families, church members, family reunion distant family members, always talk about how much of great cook my mom was/is.
Granted, she didn't know how to butter bread until my grandma (her MIL), taught her everything she knew.
My MIL can't cook very good, but my wife has been learning from my mom since we started dating early in HS, so now, the baton has been passed, and SarahAdidas is a top notch cook as well. Each generation gets a little more "fancy" and branches out, but the basics are still there.

Mine was just the opposite. My memory of mom in the kitchen
Aug 25, 2022, 1:21 PM
|

was her with a utensil in one hand, a shaker of something in the other, and her looking at an open recipe book on the counter. We were not fancy people - Fort Mill - but she just enjoyed doing anything she hadn't done before. I hated all of it. I look back now, and we were given stuff that we now love and consider sophisticated. Because of that, when I got to Clemson I thought the food was heaven.

cabbage and meatloaf layered thing she called "Dutch Head of Cabbage", I hated it then and I get nauseous just thinking of it now. Cooked cabbage is awful imo.
Most of our meals were simple, but good. Raised Catholic so we did not eat meat on Friday, but my dad hated fish, so we always had a pasta with tomato sauce combo of some sort with no meat.

Matter o'fact...this thread just reminded me that I haven't had salmon croquettes in a long, long time. That was a regular staple back in the day and I'd order them today if I saw them on a menu out somewhere.

her various husbands ate during the days I wasn't there, but her hotdog chili and spaghetti sauce were strikingly similar.
My dad cooked pretty well, still does, but I have him to thank for my not waiting to involved too much prep work or too many pots and pans.

Black-eyed peas with cornbread and fatback.

I still love cornbread and fatback is second only to bacon. But if I never eat another black-eyed pea that would be fine with me!

she served it with coleslaw... actually any italian food with coleslaw. Apparently that's what my dad's mom always did when he was a kid and so he made her do it.
It's all kinds of weird and gross.

with a sliced homegrown mater and chunk of onion. I never ate a meal without milk to drink and often it was whole milk, not 4% fat, but straight from the cow. CHilled of course.
That is still my favorite and I made it all better than mama now.

Gotta chime in. My mom was a Campbell's casserole disciple.
But she made a wild rice, chicken and cream of mushroom casserole I'd kill to have the way it tasted fifteen years ago.
