The thread about curried sausages in the recipe section got me thinking about meals from childhood. Which ones do you happily cook and eat now and what meals do you hope never to see again. Is how you now eat and cook as an adult vastly different to how you grew up.

Growing up we ate a lot of meat & vegetable meals, second to that would probably have been casseroles, things like tuna mornay. We didn't eat pasta and rice very often at all.

We ate very plain food and I must admit I often still eat this way. It would not bother me if I never ate rice or pasta again. Something my mother rarely did was use fresh herbs, I use these a lot and love the freshness herbs add to a meal.

I will admit about a month ago I made curried sausages after not having them for about 20 years. They were edible and ok but not something I will be making again in a hurry.

Yuk to curried sausages.

Growing up we mostly ate meat and three veg. Mum alternated peas and beans, carrots and pumpkin, boiled and mashed potato. God awful.

Mum did an excellent roast, spinach pie and chocolate cake though. I still make them using her recipe.

my fav as a child growing up used to be either my mum's sausage casserol (basically curried sausages) or her tuna bake. We didn't really eat rice - as I hated it. We had BBQ's and veg or salad, pasta was a once a week thing (if that), casserol (but she put herbs and stuff in it - though I don't really like them now), probably a roast once a week too, chic parmas, chicken drumsticks or wings in a sauce etc. Also stirfry's were a big hit.

DH's family wasn't that well off when they were younger so there was a lot of cheap meals he still loves one or 2 of them now (one being sauasge casserol) and I think they are potoate or pasta or rice with most meals whereas we didn't.

I cook as a treat the following curried sausages, a bacon thing my DH loves from his childhood, a chicken thing as well from his childhood. If I crave tuna casserol I ask my mum to make it for me (I am the only one that will eat it - they all think it is too plain lol) I HATE apricote chicken (yet love chicken and love apricots) and crumbed lamb cutlets and will never cook them.

We tend to eat brown rice once a week, a stirfry or 2, at least 1 tom based thing, some fish or steak and chicken fillets etc. If I make stirfry as I meal I add the slim pasta stuff to it - I can see our future child in about 20 years saying how much they hated it lol.

I've never had curried sausages.

My mother was/is a good cook - I make a lot of stuff that she did, but I'm a cookbook junkie and try new recipes much more often than she does.

However, she had a love for cauliflower cheese that passed the bounds of reason and if I never saw a cauliflower again in my life I would have a little cheer on my deathbed.

Forgot all about apricot chicken. Id rate that a million times worse than curried sausages
