Mystery meals, where do they go?
Some dishes are disappearing before our eyes.
Once upon a time there were regulars such as steamed puddings, corned beef, and ham steaks and pineapple, although I don’t miss that salty, sweet nightmare. But no-one seems to serve them any more.
And I know I’m in a club of one, but I haven’t had a decent dish of liver in decades, but mostly because no one serves it. I make do with pate, it’s a struggle.
What’s a dish from your childhood that seems to have gone off the menu forever?
My Mother used to cook Lambs Fry and Bacon but we as children hated it. Still love Ham Steaks and Pineapple although I'm now one in my household, but like to make Ham and Pineapple sandwiches. Cottage Pie was another favorite , and good old Pea and Ham soup made with a Ham Hock, (makes a great Winter soup). I've just made Turmeric and Ginger Dahl Soup and it was delicious, I have enough in the freezer to last me 2 meals, I also make a little boiled Rice to go with it, Yum, takes me back to my childhood.
