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

Chicken and dumplings

White bean soup . Liver/onions on grits was the shizzle too.

Fried chicken
Cream potatoes
Corn on the cob

Biscuits and gravy or her cherry cobbler. Not the cobbler w a crust but the spongy kind w pools of butter

Breakfast. Usually scratch biscuits, bacon etc. All the meat and veggies were grown on her farm.

I would get up at 5a with her and help, then go feed animals. She was an incredible lady.

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.

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.
