Excellent website- I wanted to say- The best thing about cooking “Oma’s recipe” or “GrandMa’s” recipe, or any of the other’s…. isn’t the taste or the smell (because we don’t use lard and they didn’t use sodium nitrite, that is in most pork products) but I think it is more likely the ‘Memory’ of the Special dishes that mean the most…

We can cook them & talk with our helper while we are cooking, talk about the dish while we are serving them, Talk about Our Loved ones while we are eating them….Anything can become an instant ‘classic’ in your family if the love of a past loved one is remembered and cherished.

That, to me is what is cool about an “Old family recipe”

Mine is Creamed corn, but from grown field corn (not sweet but mostly grown as cattle feed. Cooked for us with added sugar)
Cream Peas- (they called them ‘Texas Cream 40′, but I think they grew “Mississippi Cream” seed)

Sorry to ramble, but the love of Family and Food is the strongest emotion to me, and I think our (displaced Webmaster) feels the same way.

Come home Brother ! There is no work to make a living down here, but there are squirrels in the trees to eat !

My 2 cents.

I miss my Oma now. All of her recipes were in her head, and she was loathe to let you write anything down, so you had to lurk, a safe distance, and remember everything you could. It is how I figured out her Sauerbraten and Dutch Baby. And everything that she fried was either in lard or bacon fat. It freaked my mom out!

Hi Danno
Your croquettes look great, I feel the same way when I eat chicken and dumplings based on my grandmother’s recipe. Out of curiosity, what do you use to do the deep frying? A frying pan with oil, or a consumer deep fryer?

I reckon everybody’s got a grandma recipe. Mine is my maternal grandmother’s pork meatballs, Norwegian-style, with a heavy spicing of ground ginger – I always feel like I have her peeking over my shoulder when I make them, berating me for making them too small or adjusting the spices. Food does that to people, I guess, since food works on those two senses we remember best: smell and taste.
