I am a freak of nature but, I was my mother’s favorite child because I would eat (and sincerely compliment) whatever she served. As a kid I loved buttered bread with lima beans. Now, I’ve outgrown that delicacy, as my palate has evolved but, what kid loves a lima bean sandwich?
This thread is great for the memories if not for the recipes!
My dad loved a salt cod stew that he had as a boy in Spain. Horrid stuff that he made for us as kids wanting to share his joyous, comforting memory which only starving, feral street cats might share. Oh my! Yech! But, for him, it was love in a bowl and I wish I could share a spoonful with him this weekend.
If you still have your dad, go and eat something gross that he loves while you still can!
No kid adores Lima bread sangwiches, even slathered with butter LOL.
Mom loves Tomater sangwiches slathered with mayo and salt and pepper.
I’ll say let me take you to dinner Ma, and she says “Oh no I’ll just have a tomato sangwich” LOL
I take her all the same and we have sangwiches later :)
Dad is long gone but AMEN!
He had the palate of a billy goat, but I love him.
My dad was an amateur boxer in his youth, and one day when I was horribly ill with some bug, he made me a concoction of raw eggs, tomato juice, Worcestershire sauce - God only know what was in it, but it was apparently something that boxers in his day used for strength.
It was obnoxious; but he was my Daddy, and trying to help me. So I gulped it down.
R.I.P, Daddy, and God Bless you in Heaven!
