Nostalgic meals/meals from your childhood.

[MrsKippling]

I am in a cookery/food group on Facebook and they have some challenges occasionally, this week the theme is nostalgia.

My mum wasn't much of a cook so my childhood meals were very basic, think frozen pizza, crispy pancakes etc. But she did make a lovely chicken and barley broth which I always crave when I'm feeling run down. What meals are nostalgic for you?

Eggy bread. It’s probably called different in other areas but bread dipped in beaten egg and friend. I still love it actually I might have some for tea

Luncheon meat, chips & tinned spaghetti with white bread and butter.

My mum used to make me a 'beefburger sun'. Birds Eye beefburger, crinkle cut chips as 'rays', a face made out of cucumber & tomato slices and tinned spaghetti 'hair'.

Home made steak and kidney pudding
Oxtail stew on a cold winters day
Gypsy Tart,
Butterscotch Instant Whip (the only one I liked)

My mind immediately went to Findus crispy pancakes. I also loved the frozen mousse we used to get. I never let mine defrost properly so it was more like icecream

Fish pie or quiche Lorraine

Cowboy hotpot.
Lamb liver, bacon, sausages, baked beans & gravy, slow cooked & served with mash.

I’ve tried to cover my kids, but even as adults they run a mile!

Likewise liver & onions.

Slices of bread, ketchup & fruity brown HP sauce. Pull off a piece & dip it in. Nice (and sadly missed as gluten free bread just isn’t the same).

*convert, sausage fingers strike back.

The iconic 90s “Mum pizza” (basically burnt to a crispy orangey frisbee; doesn’t bring comfort but is nostalgic), spag Bol, jacket potato with cheese & beans… also cheese toasties on Sunday evening.

Slices of corned beef with mash, green beans and bisto gravy. Sometimes I'd have mint sauce on it too

My mother's pork chops. My grandmother's roasts. A bean salad. Mum's chicken or beef and broccoli stir fry. Grandma's pies and cakes. Omg I'm getting hungry!

Mince with onion and carrot and mash.

Breaded chicken goujons, with tinned plum tomatoes and buttery mash. Lots of white pepper, malt vinegar on the tomatoes.

Chocolate sponge with mint custard c/o school dinners. Tried to recreate this unsuccessfully many times

Findus pancake was my favourite lunch ever.It was a treat if we got a day off school.

My mom used to buy chicken pieces and made this honey, lemon and orangs sauce which was amazing. I have tried many times to recreate it but cannot get it right. She cooks by eye

Homemade rice pudding with a thick skin on top.
Chicken noodle soup when we were poorly.

My gran used to give us lorne sausage pie chips and beans on a Saturday she used to buy it from Littlewoods food hall. Yes I'm ancient! Oh in the summer we have that pie with pork and egg with salad and chips!

My mum's tomatoey, paprika-spiced oxtail stew with mashed potato.

Angel delight !

Toad in the hole, shepherd's pie, chip pan chips, pan haggerty, Welsh cakes, bread and butter pudding.
