Is there a food your parents and or grand parents make/made that you wish you learned how to do?!
Answers: i have so many I can't say them all on here. The ones that really upset me are the ones my grand mother used to make because she passed away before she could show me
I wish I had my mother's salmon loaf recipe. I've tried to recreate it so many times and it's just not quite the same. And my grandma's bread. It was the best bread ever. Apparently only one other person knows how to make it. When I was at a cousin's house she offered me bread and I exclaimed "This was grandma's bread! You have the recipe!". The only problem is that she learned as a young kid watching her make it, and there's no measurements, it's all in her head. *sigh*
pork and beans
I miss my nanas bread and butter pudding i wish she could have taught me how to do that as it is something else
My grandmother used to make a home-made bread that was like a honey butter white bread.. it was soooo good...
i wish i would have learned to make cherry pie from my grandma before she passed. she is the only one who makes it like that :(
no.but i still wonder if they give out those blocks of butter in the welfare line.i kinda liked it.
Oh yes! I talk to my wife about it all the time. Simple things. For example, their tender fluffy dumplings. --Nothing at all like those rubbery macaroni dumplings you get in a can which have NOTHING to do with real dumplings.
Biscuits; cornbread; cornmeal gravy; redeye. Others.

Im from the middle east (SaudiArabia) and there is a traditional Saudi dish called "Harees".. it might sound nasty to a foreign person.. its a dish made by boiling lamb meat and wheat grains with a bit of salt, pepper and a crushed tomatoe for hours till everything is so soft, you can mash it and make a paste out of it.. You eat this like a dip with fingers, spoon or pita bread dippers.. its a traditional dish here.. and its slowly dying out cause its so time consuming and tedious to beat the heck out of this to make it pasty.. it takes about an hour to beat it by hand.. My grandmother makes it wonderful.. No restaurant or commercial place makes it well.. I have not to date mastered this recipe, and it saddens me to think after my gran dies, no one will continue her tradition..
I miss my Grandma's peirogies and the polish cookies she used to make.
Yes. Maple Syrup Taffy the kind you make in winter that hardens in the snow. Brings back great childhood memories. I'm told my Aunt knows how to make it, must get the recipe.
it was called pizza bread, she, my nana, browned up tons of cold cuts, put them on pizza dough, and baked it in the oven....... soooo good!!! everytime i tried to make it, it was a greasy mess!!!!
Yes, all from my nan. I'm back home for the holidays in a few days and you just gave me a brilliant idea. Hadn't realised how lucky I am that my nan is still alive, she'll get pestered by me this Christmas to get all the recipes. Thank you!!!
I remember my nana use to make cakes they were bueatiful every cake you could imagine she use to bake them but what makes me laugh now is because there was loads of them in the family my nan made them in meat tins they were massive but as a little girl i excepted it. I couldn't bake a cake for toffee.
yes Apple Dumplings-and Black Pudden,!!
Meat pies! My grandparents(gram and gramp) made them sooo yummy!
