What did your grandma cook?

That you've never had as good again?

For me it was eggplant caviar, sweetbreads and whitefish salad.

Chopped liver, chicken fricassee, stuffed helzel (chicken neck skin stuffed with flour, schmaltz, internal meats (chopped heart, gizzard, liver), and fried onions and sewn up with a thread), and chicken soup with matzah balls.

That was my maternal grandmother. My paternal grandmother made reservations.

Gotta be honest. Nothing. My maternal grandmother died before I was born. I have a few of her heavenly recipes one of which reaches back to Colonial times. I bake the pastry cookies every December. Was told she could bake up a storm, all by hand. I use the KitchenAid. 🍰🍪😇

I have zero recollection of my paternal grandmother cooking anything. She passed away while I was young. She supposedly was a superb cook in her time, mostly old country Polish.

And of course the entire extended family is better at Italian than anything.

Bread Pudding!! Growing up in the depression in NYC it was waste not, want not. She'd take any stale bread, heels ends etc. whip up some custard , cinimmon, raisins & vanilla extract (60 proof Ehilers) toss it in the oven & out comes a pudding to die for. That vanilla extract gave it that special zing that made us all glad that they repealed prohibition!:)

I had Oxtails and Rice at a place on Sutphin Blvd near the LIRR station. Delicious. They also had awesome beef ribs.

The wife of a proof operator in a type plant I worked at made dinner for him every day and put it in a mess kit for him to take in. He used to heat it up on a lead pot. When he had oxtails, the aroma made me jealous.

My girlfriend's mother was an amazing Italian cook*, and she wasn't from the Old Country. Show you can never tell.

*You know, the kind that makes a half-dozen or more appetizers, each better than the last.

Why do I get the feeling there's a generational thing here? My mother (who is my daughter's grandmother after all) was a fine lady but no cook. HER mother (MY grandmother) was the cook.

I've heard it said it skips generations...

You're currently ignoring at least two topics that you are wrong about:

1. You are ignoring the Santorum issue.
2. You are ignoring the "wait 2 or 3 seconds before proceeding on a green light" issue.
