What food makes you think of your mom

Braised beef stew or ox tail soup for me.

All foods make me think of my mother, she was a good cook and taught me. I miss her so much,

Bun rieu (Viet crab noodle soup) or banh bao (pork buns)

My dad retired early, so he took over cooking while my mom worked.

Whenever she cooked, it would a labor intensive "specialty" recipe that my dad would never do on his own lol.

Fast food...my mom never cooks lol

nope, I don't

Pies

She does the best pies

My mum is incredible at cooking, and I don't even think I'm biased. She used to make really tasty biscuits and gravy every morning for me before school. Whenever I have biscuits and gravy now, I'm always like "This is disgusting compared to the kind my mum would make"

Pizza because when we were kids we weren't able to afford it so she would make pizza's dressing up bread slices with pizza sauce, cheese slices and ham then ofc she'd cook it in the oven, all of the ingredients were a (Canadian) cheap food brand called noname

And for my dad it would be soup! lmao because he would make us Lipton chicken noodle soup with cut up wieners in it haha

pork hock 😁

Chicken rendang. No one does it better than her. And it got the seal of approval from all family members, my aunties, my cousins, uncles. Literally everyone.

Quote from Freddie235X

Are you in Indonesia?^^

No. Im from Malaysia.

Quote from Freddie235X

Right..

Is Rendang a shared culture of you guys and Indonesia?

Yes. Because we both come from the same race, which is Malay (if you are talking about the 4 main races of men). And people come and go from both countries back in the day, so the same culture and dish are shared between us.

Quote from Freddie235X

Pies like quiche?

Yes

I don't know what she put in them, but until now, I'm still unable to surpass her

Quote from Freddie235X

French pies are mostly simple in stuffing, cheese plays a big part.cut

English pies can be like put a pot of stew in the pastry. many of their pies contain gravy, flow out when cut open.

In French we call it tourte.

Quote from Freddie235X

Your mom seems to be a good cook~

She is

My mom can not cook the only thing she does is show me recipes and I make her favorites based off them. But the one food we both love and I will always think about her is rice an beans.

Quote from Freddie235X

Banh bao looks Chinese steamed bun alike...never had it before but interesting to know..

We have a ton of Banh mi here in Vietnamese food places and people love it.

Yeah, I'm not sure there's a difference between Viet and Chinese pork buns lol.

Some Viet dishes are Chinese inspired, some are straight up Chinese dishes :-D

I think banh mi has replaced pho (beef noodle soup) as the most well known Viet food.

Arancini

They're little rice balls made with a variety of fillings. My favourite is mozzarella.

So many to choose from cause she cooks every type of meal.

Kugelis - Described as a Potato Pudding. Potato, bacon and onion mixed together and baked.

Poison. She sure does make me think of it a lot

Aloo Paratha

A typical French dish with cheese, tartiflette.

Indian food

Filipino Spaghetti

Stir fry, my mum makes really yummy stir fry

Chocolate chip cookies. When she bakes she always either pecans or walnuts to give cookies more texture and it reminds me of her.
