    My mother used to make this sort of donut form with mashed potatoes and put her home-made sauce in it.

    Speaking of mother's cooking, Chinese new year is coming next month, so me and family would be eating mom's special foods. Here are some of them:

    - chicken curry
    - bamboo shoot with dried shrimps
    - gado-gado (vegetable salad with peanut dressing)
    - stir fried male papaya flowers (these flowers are extremely bitter if you don't know how to cook them)
    - specially seasoned duck (i don't know the name of the dish)

    A mixture of classic English and Italian with my mother, anything from Shepard's pie to a Bolognese. Chicken Hot Pot to Carbonara, she tends to experiment with pasta based dishes a lot also.

    I'm glad you got the "whiskey" spelling right. It's rare to see.

    Forgot about your obsession with Whiskies!

    I have to say, and I will sound like a total ass happily, I feel I cook much better than my Mother (my father was damned good) however she has only one thing I can't do - a simple Watercress Soup!

    Well my Mom is considered the best cook by pretty much everyone I know, so I'm not even sure where to begin. She makes all sorts of food, although the past 10+ years has been focused on leaner, healthier eating. It's all good though, and from scratch - no semi made crap off the shelf. She doesn't really use recipes that much anymore, so I'm not sure what the name is off most of it.

    My favorite is probably a good Sirloin tip Roast with carrots, onions and potatoes. Southern Biscuit Muffins, Broccoli salad, 3 Bean Bake, Jello (with yogurt and bananas in it) and Apple Cobbler for dessert. --- Ask me tomorrow and that list might change. lol

    Haha, I'm done with whiskies until next winter :)

    My parents cook a lot of Hungarian food. Goulash, roast duck, there's a lot of cabbage, vegetables. Everything is cooked from scratch. Thing is I only eat my parent's cooking when I visit them, once every 2-3 years.

    Their cooking seems to be a tad less healthy than what I would cook, but very very good.

    Beef tongue in onion sauce or dill sauce - scrumptious!

    Also a kind of baked vegetable and meat stew called Djuve***269; (pronounced dyoovech), containing pork neck fillets, rice, potatoes, carrots, red peppers, aubergines (egg-plant), onions, garlic, tomatoes and tomato juice with seasoning, and black pepper. The whole thing is baked in the oven. Since I've been on a low-carb diet for the past 2 years, I have replaced the rice and 'taters with red kidney beans. Also, for added effect, you can grate some cheese on top and pop it back into the oven for 5 more minutes for the cheese to melt properly.

    Bon appetit!

    My wee da was quite a good cook, we always all went round for Sunday dinner and whatever he made was always fantastic, loved my Sunday dinners.
