Best proper "Mammy" dinners you had as a kid

Chicken Casserole for definite was my favourite. My father hunts though so we kind of lived on venison, rabbit, mackeral that kind of thing.

Corned beef hash with a soft fried egg on top..nom nom nom

although the old man cooked it once and didnt buy onions so substituted pickled onions in...the man wasnt allowed cook another dinner ever. And quite rightly.

Lasagna has been the best she has cooked for me, she is great at baking though so wouldn't fault her on that but was not into those proper mammy dinners when I were a kid, didn't like them, very fussy eater....

My gran used to cook home cut chips for us when we were kids but never let the oil heat up properly so we got soggy chips but they tasted gorgeous. And yes the Sunday dinners that Mammy makes are never bet. My own Ma always started making Chrismas cakes and puddings around this time of the year and the smell of baking in the house was magic. Unfortunately she's not around this year (RIP) and it's one thing that will be sorely missed

Sorry for your troubles man. My own mam isn't too well at the moment, yet she still won't tell us if it was the ruckus we made in the kitchen that caused the cake to sink. I think she had a hangover, but, in all fairness, it keeps the grandchildren quiet. Just to be on the safe side.:)

I remember getting heart. Huge big cows heart and individual sheeps hearts. I'll probably make a few people squemish now, but I quiet liked them. Liked sheeps hearts the best.

Loved pigs feet and bacon ribs too! We used to have bacon ribs on a saturday night watching the telly. MAGIC!

All this reminiscing is making me feel old

Never ever had pasta or lasagna growing up
That's foreign food for them eye-talians

Never had rice either come to think of it

Potatoes every day, boiled, sliced, mashed or even home made chips.
And drowned in butter.
