re: What is your favorite meal that your Grandmother cooked?

Chicken and sausage gumbo, hands down. She was so coon arse she didn't even speak English. In fact, none of my grand parents did. And dad had to learn English when he started school, would get paddled on the hands and arse for speaking Cajun French at school! Guess it's just my way of saying I ate some authentic Cajun foods!

Chicken & Dumplings

Roast and brown gravy. The roast would be falling apart it was so tender.

Sicilian grandmother
Spaghetti and meatballs
Rice and gravy
Fried shrimp

Irish grandmother
Homemade biscuits in a cast iron skillet.

Tapioca pudding. shite was like crack to a junkie.

My father's mother and grandmother were evil witches in the kitchen with Italian food. Their meatballs and spaghetti were insanely good . The would put pig's feet in the gravy and then simmer it down for hours. The best though would be my great grandmother's braciole. She was 93 and working all day on a Saturday to make that stuff. My grandmother was no slouch on it either but Maw Maw's would make you question your existence it was so good.

Mom's family was from New Zealand, she was Greek and her mother was really good with leg of lamb and her moussaka was nothing to sneeze at especially the bechamel on top that she would mix sheep's milk into along with feta and haloumi cheese. My great grandmother had her moussaka when she came for a visit to the states , said it might have been one of the best things she ever ate

Grandparents had a an (about) 1 acre garden. They never bought a vegetable in my or my Pop’s life. Because of this (I think), I was never one of those kids who hated vegetables, except for snap beans and beans/peas, because us kids were forced to sit on the back porch and shuck, hill and snap.

Her black eyed peas and her drop biscuits (she made every morning) were probably my favorite.

My grandmother doesn’t cook as much anymore since my grandfather passed but here a few things that I love that she cooks:

Roast rice and gravy, fried okra, English peas and cornbread
Spaghetti and meatballs - and it’s crazy how simple hers is - an Italian would probably stroke out the ingredients.
Chicken casserole
Fried chicken
Fried squash
Fried catfish
Her version of chili
Tomato steak and gravy

I try to sit down with her after meals and pick her brain. She has no actually written recipes.

Love the thread subject OP.

My mom’s mom: chicken and dumplings and chicken spaghetti
My dad’s mom: crayfish bisque

Great memories

Steak n potatoes

Sometimes hamburger "steak"
Sometimes the good stuff

Always satisfied
