Thews40 Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Mashed potatoes for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushwacked Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 When I grew up, home cookin was fairly bland Potatoes and meat. Now it means cooking up a lot of good spicy meat dishes. Potatoes are overated and not that good for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polksalet Posted February 28, 2005 Author Share Posted February 28, 2005 For me it is fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and corn on the cob. We were discussing how much of our identity is wrapped up in the foods we eat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Love Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Beef, pork, or chicken. Mashed potatos with gravy. Carrots, corn, green beans, or broccoli. Old family recipies and/or ethnic foods (provided you're part of that ethnic group) also count, e.g., lasagna for all of you WOPs out there and kielbasa and saurkraut for Polaks like me.

I like my wife's lasagne, tacos, chicken, and too many to name. My Dad was a big hunter so we always ate a lot of game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta love them, a guy here at work always brings some back when he goes home to Pitt 714312[/snapback] Pierogies are delicious. Definitely a 'Burgh thing, along with "city chicken" (breaded pork & veal baked on skewers - looks kinda like a chicken drumstick). Perhaps I misunderstood the question.

georgemoe Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 This was my homemade for lunch yesterday. Think quick. Campbell's minestrone and diced up "homemade" meatloaf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perchoutofwater Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 (edited) Chicken fried steak, mash potatoes, turnip greens, fresh pinto's, fried corn bred, and onions, tomatoes, and peppers right out of the garden. Basically home cooking is any meat cooked in a cast iron skillet and fresh vegetables.

Piranha Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Whatever my wife (or my Mom) cooks. It's all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pork chop express Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 originally from southwestern VA, but live in Maryland now. my parents are both older and from the south so we had great Southern type Sunday dinners. Home cooking is anything that you can cover in gravy be it biscuits, rice, potatoes, or noodles. Also any vegetable that can be fried....squash, okra, corn, green tomatos, zuchini. You must cook things with bacon grease or some form of hog....green beans are cooked with a drip of bacon grease and so forth. Also, if you can add corn bread to the meal, it is home cooking.

rajncajn Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 4' diameter mound of piping hot & spicy crawfish, corn, onions, asparagus, potatoes & andouille sausage dumped on a sheet of plywood covered in plastic garbage bags with two 1' diameter holes cut into it using two 55 gallon drums under the holes as stands. Throw in some Desport's french bread, a bottle of squeeze butter & an ice cold brew. Now that's what I call some down home cookin'! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimC Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 VA - anything and everything fried or Breakfast: Eggs, bacon, hashbrowns, grits, buiscuits, plus about 20 other side dishes. Breakfastes are hugh down South. Dinner: Meat loaf, mashed potatoes, snaps, corn on the cob, squash, beets, ho cakes (kudos to anyone who knows what these are...and it's not related to prostitution ). I need to call my Mom and have me over this weekend now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaumont Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 (edited) Dinner: Meat loaf, mashed potatoes, snaps, corn on the cob, squash, beets, ho cakes 714339[/snapback] I was looking for the meat loaf --- that is my first take too. Meat loaf w/ roasted potatoes, carrots, corn on the cob. Apple pie for dessert. I am originally from Topeka, KS and my family was all farm until my father's generation. Home cooking here in Beaumont from my wife's family usually involves fried speckled (sea) trout or red fish, baked and stuffed flounder, fried shrimp, seafood gumbo, etc. More along Rajn's lines.
