Memories o grannies cooking

[arana negra]

What wonderful foods did your gran cook ?

One of mine was a ace baker, her tatties scones were superb as were her coffee mousse desserts, Sponges too big to get in your mouth and oatcakes to die for. She also cooked cod roe and tripe for granda UGH awful stuff sorrry about pun !

My other gran used to do what we thought were odd things, like put a mealie pudding on top of the mince while it was cooking or a sausage roll HMMMMM I loved them both.

I had an aunt who I will always remember for her delicious treacle tarts and my 12 cousins

loved my grannie's yellow split pea soup made we a ham shank and her stewed sausages, even though i make them myself they just don't taste the same

Just been reminded of a few dishes we used have.....

Cheesy Eggs

boiled eggs cooled, sliced and layered on bottom of oven proof dish

make a cheese sauce and cover eggs with it top with grated cheese

heat through in oven


the other one was cheesy mash with a fried egg on top

Don't think I would like either of these now.

We use to go to my Grans every Sunday, the whole family which was only about 20 of us then, it was always her Sunday roast and then followed by some wonderful sweets, apple and date crumble, apple rice pudding, apple and cherry sponge, yes they had lots of orchards so you had apples with most things.

I remember my granny for the Cod Liver Oil she spooned in to us every time we visited. That and Malt...a whole tablespoon! I know these were not cooked but she did make a grand flour scone.
