What's your mom's best/worst dish?

[Anonymous No.17089115]

Whatever microwave meal or bag of fast food she brought home. Maybe she made me a pb&j once can't recall. Died when I was a kid so just picked up cooking myself since the only thing my dad ever made was instant mashed potatoes. To be fair they started a small business (candle company) and grew it before the dying part (dad passed when I was at uni). So pretty sure that's just how most latchkey kids grew up

My mother has gotten up in years. Everything she makes now is over-cooked and over salted. I'm not sure if I just view my childhood through rose-colored glasses, but I remember her being a really excellent cook growing up, despite always using ranch dressing packets to season a lot of different dishes. It sucks watching your parents get older.

Best dish? She always did a decent Beef Stroganof. She'd roast the beef tips and make a really nice sauce for it. Not traditional at all but it was always decent.

Her worst was her Hamburger, Macaroni, and Tomato. It was barely drained pasta, chucked in a pot of ground beef you've fried off, and then whole canned tomatoes tossed in. No extra seasoning, no love. It was her go to "Fuck it, you have to eat." meal. One of the main reasons I started learning to cook. I haven't had it in 20+ years now, and I'm looking towards many more years of not dealing with that bullshit again.

[Anonymous No.17089715]

When I was sick one time my mom surprised me with home made chili cheese fries. :)

Her normal cooking was not really special, a lot of stews and soups we would eat over the span of a few days.
She baked really good sheet cakes for special occasions though.
The standards were one topped with coconut flakes and sugar that was doused in buttermilk after baking and another one that was topped with almond flakes in a butter and sugar mixture.

The only dish I remember really not liking was some weird tomato and cauliflower stew with curry and other spices.

I miss my mom.

[Anonymous No.17089720]

My mums best dishes are whatever her mother taught her to make
Her worst dishes are those she learnt from old shitty cookbooks which have oversimplified recipes which leave out half the necessary techniques to make them taste good

[Anonymous No.17089745]

Best: Slow cooked Asian spare ribs

Worst: "soup" which is ALWAYS unseasoned ground turkey, a bag of frozen vegetables, and vegetable stock heated up. Maybe noodles if she's feeling wild.

[Anonymous No.17089777]

she does a good cochinita pibil, this tasty pasta salad with a cream/lime zest sauce, great pesto, thai chicken noodles, bbq chicken pasta, squash bisque, slow-cooked lentil soup...really good pizza dough too. my favorite is probably her dinner rolls though, iirc her secret is using greek yogurt. i'm very grateful she taught me to appreciate trying new cuisines and using quality ingredients.

[Anonymous No.17089802]

my mom can't cook, probably didn't even want to try, since there was an unused cook book on our expansive book shelf.
dinner was an unseasoned (as in not even salt or broth) chunk of boiled meat and potatoes in a Crock-Pot or hamburger helper

[Anonymous No.17089835]

My moms can really only dependably make sweet baked goods really well and she hates cooking. My pops did probably 97% of the cooking when I was growing up and he taught me how to make lots of foods. That being said my moms makes 3 dishes I love

>slumgullion
>chicken noodle soup
>roast turkey with giblet gravy

Sorry I'm such a disappointment now, M&P

I love my mom's rice krispies treat. Just uses a lot of marshmallows and butter.

Holy shit. My mom makes that too. Shitty post war "use up the ration" recipe.

[Anonymous No.17089891]

My mother makes the shittiest stir-fry, but her casseroles are delicious and she makes the best corned beef, with a bechamel dill sauce that was the reason I got into cooking. I wanted to be able to have it whenever I wanted.

[Anonymous No.17089984]

>>17089093
>What's your mom's best/worst dish?
Her best were probably her meaty stews, especially her Beef bourguignon or her deserts, she made very nice cakes. Her worst was probably the mushroom and cream pasta which she cooked for guests far too often. Im a better cook than she was but miss her cooking a lot now that she’s gone, especially now in the winter when she’s so often do roasts and those aforementioned stews.

[Anonymous No.17089992]

>>17089093
>Best
Minute Steaks on Italian Rolls.
Each sandwich has half of an onion's worth of carmelized onion. The strong cheese and the mayo gives it a creamy taste. It's somewhat chewy, it takes about 40 minutes to eat 2, and honestly I really appreicate being able to sit down, watch some TV, and still be eating some good food for that long rather than just scarfing it down in minutes.
>Worst
Anything with potatoes. She stores them right next to the household cleaners for months longer than they should and the taste really seeps into it. You have to either spit it out or throw it up. I've told her she has to move it somewhere else but she just tells me there's nowhere else she can practically store them.

my mom is gluten and lactose intolerant, so anything premade was the best thing she ever made. she didnt really cook and mostly got fast food for everyone. I didnt realize until I moved out and lost 100lbs making food for myself.

[Anonymous No.17090001]

My mom was a really good cook and I still miss some of her dishes. She used to make the best mashed potato’s I’ve ever had. Sadly she passed away right before my 11th birthday but maybe one day I’ll be able to replicate her cooking.

[Anonymous No.17090854]

My mom hated cooking and my dad was usually at work until late so I've primarily fed myself since I was 5.

My mother is an excellent cook, she regularly makes very, very good meals and even expanded her repertoire to accommodate the tastes of my dad and me
She can do everything from Romance foods to Indian or Chinese, though her European cooking is distinctly more 'professional' though she makes amazing stir fries
If I had to pick one single best dish, maybe the stuffing she makes or Thanksgiving? It's legitimately the best stuffing I've ever had, I haven't been able to find even a restaurant that can do it as well as she can. It's an incredible savoury herb stuffing with bacon, turkey liver, some celery, bread etc.
Also her Lasagna is amazing, she makes great Shepard's Pie, her home-made perogies are delicious but a lot of work and they come apart in water so you have to fry them, and the Beef Bourguignon she makes with red wine, shallots and bacon is to die for
As far as bad dishes go, she has an odd liking of shake and bake chicken, and Campbell mushroom soup beef stroganoff. Neither are inedible but I don't really care for them

[Anonymous No.17091805]

She makes really good scratch pies and soups.

Best dish.
Vegetable cabbage soup. Back in the day she would try to loose weight all the time but would end up eating the same way or binging. She was never huge but as aging woman she didn’t look the same as she did when she was younger and would get sensitive about it.
When she made this soup I would love it. It tasted a little different each time but I like especially when she would put spicy peppers in it.
My grandmother would also make me vegetable soup and serve it with buttered bread. My grandmother’s cooking was so based and magnificent.
I love and romanticized homemade vegetable soup now.

Worst dish.
Buttered egg noodles with peas and chopped onions. (sometimes with ground beef) seasoned with pepper and salt.
I would eat it but I would just eat fast because I was hungry but I didn’t enjoy this. I hate how I felt after eating it. But as a kid, you eat what you’re given.

[Anonymous No.17092535]

>>17089093
>Best
Any sort of baking. Toffee? Fuck yeah. Scientific accuracy and attention to detail.

Cooking anything beyond meat and boiled vegetables

That said, when I still lived with her as a teenager, I ate nothing but frozen corn dogs cuz she was never there. Her mom hasn't cooked anything but frozen delivery meals since the 1970s

My mother has passed but she was an amazing cook.

One of her best meals was corned beef and cabbage with new potatoes and homemade soda bread.

She had a huge collection of cookbooks and those magazines that used to target women and probably gay men that were full of recipes and posh living articles. The worst things she cooked would often be some weird shit she would find once in a while in these magazines she was sure we would like and instead we would all end up hating it.

Same, I grew up with an amazing cook of a mom to the point where I can't recall a single dish that was actually bad even if it was something I was being a picky kid about.

Her best dish is probably her lasagna or her chocolate chip cookies

My mom made a great stroganof too. She did a bit better at the second dish you described, I remember it had peas and was called goulash. I don't remember her making anything bad, but Sunday was always leftovers whether you wanted them or not.

Best dish
>her 100% homemade chicken soup. Roasts 2 whole chilkens, then strips off the meat and spends 3 days making stock from the carcasses +herbs and vegetables.
>hand makes her own noodles
>Simmers the soup for 2 days, constantly checking the level of seasoning
it is like a bowl of liquid gold.
Everything my mom cooks is delicious with one exception.
Dad's best friend's wife is a vegetarian and into low fat, no salt.
When they come over mom makes her
>baked tofu dusted with brewer's yeast and flavored with chilis and oyster sauce

She does a great Sunday Roast. Lemon, onion, thyme and garlic up the chicken. Smear with butter. Proper Yorkshires cooked in lard. Roast parsnips and carrots in a honey and English mustard glazed. Mashed swede with butter, steamed spring greens and cauliflower cheese.

In the week though one of her favourites was a kind of Ratatouille which she'd serve with lamb meatballs on a pile of spaghetti. Best way to eat your vegetables. Onions, mushrooms, courgette, bell pepper, spinach in a tomato sauce.

Best spare ribs

Worst cauliflower cheese.

[Anonymous No.17095848]

My mom and dad didn't cook food for me and my sister growing up. We ate everything out of a box or a can, or from the freezer aisle and heated up in the oven. If you've ever seen the movie Mermaids, think of how Cher used to cook for her kids in that movie. You get the idea.
>Best dish
My mom used to make "creamed tuna on toast" which was always my favourite. Think of tuna salad made with cream of mushroom soup, heaped generously on two slices of toast. It wasn't bad really. A real comfort food.
>Worst dish
I think any time my mom actually tried cooking it turned out alright, or at least hard to distinguish from any other foods she'd made. I think the thing I dreaded most was when she'd make mashed potatoes, because they always came out so dry and clumpy and flavourless. It tasted like eating literally nothing. You had to dilute it with sour cream and tons of salt for it to even be palatable.

[Anonymous No.17095900]

Worst: Spaghetti with some meat slithered in ketchup.
Best: Garfish with white sauce and taters.

[Anonymous No.17096000]

Worst: stuffed bell peppers. She just fried off hamburger in a pan, put it in a hollowed out bellpepper and baked it. Vile
