Kielbasa is good but I don't like the sauerkraut, it is easy to pick off. The fried spaghetti doesn't sound too bad, but then again spaghetti is my favorite. And MEATLOAF!! Yes, it is so tasty, I've had a hankering for meatloaf lately and the side dishes you mentioned sound good too. Rouladen isn't a dish I particularly like mostly because of the pickles, not a pickle fan

Mom made it without the pickles. I didn't realize until well into my 20's that it is supposed to have a pickle. I have no idea why she made it without it. Maybe she learned it that way, maybe she liked everything about it but the pickle. And it is all lost. Recipe and story.

I do like turnips, but Nay, Nay on the iverlay. My wife got very upset with me because when she made Liver and Onions she knew I wasn't going to eat it, but, she wanted the girls to acquire a taste for it. As usual the kids didn't like it. They would say... how come dad doesn't have to eat it and we do? My wife would turn to me for support and I had to be honest. If I can't stand it I am not going to force my children to eat it. They can happily go through life without it. The big no, no when I was growing up was my Father loved Blood Sausage (Puddin, as he called it) and Head Cheese. Those two he had to eat solo. 🤮

Aside from your iverlay and other oodfay, one year in school I learned pig-latin. Tried to get my friend to understand what it actually was, but I don't think she caught on and decided that this new language was just too hard.:hilarious:

My mom made the best rouladen. My step dad would get the meat from the German butcher. It always had a pickle. I love pickles so never had a problem with that. I think the sauce is what makes that dish.

So all this talk about how we learned to cook got me thinking....most of us learned from our mother or some sort of mother figure in our lives. Here's the question(s): What dish growing up that your mother (or whoever cooked for you) was the worst in your opinion? And what was the best?

Worst: My mom made scalloped potatoes which were normally excellent but when she was trying to include a cheap protein when money was tight she made scalloped potatoes with canned tuna and cheese. Ugh! All of those were fine on their own but not together.

Best: Homemade spaghetti sauce which was actually my great-grandmothers recipe (she had been a private chef for a rich family in Chicago). And if my mom used fresh from the garden tomatoes....even better!!!

Side note: A few years before my mom passed I told her how much I had detested the tuna scalloped potatoes and she was shocked, she thought they weren't bad. But she apologized for sending bacon bit (the cheap artificial ones) sandwiches sometimes to school for my lunch, she thought that was the worst thing she ever made for me. I then gave her a shock by telling her how much I had loved those bacon bit sandwiches and I thought they were a special treat and that I looked forward to them. She had always felt bad for sending them when she didn't have any money left in the budget for lunch meat and then turns out I loved them.

Best thing my mother made: lemon meringue pie -- always looked very professional and tasted great!

Worst thing my mother made: Finnan haddie (smoked haddock). Smelled like puke and tasted like puke. Although my father liked it, the rest of us hated it, so she didn't make it again, thank God.

Yum, I haven't had lemon meringue pie in a long time. Hubs isn't a fan and I shouldn't eat one all by myself. I wouldn't like that smoked haddock stuff either.
