Any cake with fresh cream.
She used to enter them in the local annual show & win every category. After a few years they asked her to stop entering to give everyone else a chance $\:D/$

Never had chips with smoked haddock in our house

Mum was the daughter of a fishmonger so the only way we ate smoked haddock was with a giant jerk of butter on top and served with a doorstep of bread and thick butter.

DM what was "posh trifle" ? One of them all in one box trifles with a lid full of Harveys Bristol Creme added

Roast Beef, roast potatoes- you know the rest.

It was blooming delicious.

Fried potatoes and onions were done in an iron skillet and served with homemade coleslaw. On the side would be a 1-inch thick slice of homemade bread topped with real butter and homemade blackberry jelly.

Roast leg of lamb with potatoes, pumpkin, peas, beans, broccoli, gravy and fresh mint sauce with chocolate pud and cream for desert. Flathead tales, chips and a garden salad. Beef stew and dumplings. Pasties and sausage rolls in winter go down a treat too.

My mum kept me warm, kept me fed, and kept me loved. But she was not the best cook in the world. In fact the widespread belief amongst the British community that their mothers were the best cooks in the world is a possible explanation for the direness of much farang food in the Kingdom.

Caducus

I can only hope you stood there one day and said "Mum, you are not the best cook in the world" But I know that you didn't as you are posting to this page
I never said in the beginning that this was meant for British as I am Canadian and am hoping for German, Israeli, Kenyan etc to add to the post

Lets hear from more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
