Dad Food

[Treebeak]

Only thing my Dad ever cooked when my folks were together was scrambled eggs on a Sunday morning (they were awesome).

It turns out this is the only thing he new HOW to cook cos when they split my Dad had disaster after disaster in the kitchen. Only thing he got good at was kedgiree - still the best Ive ever had

What is it about fathas? Chips, eggs and things with bread.

We used to get tiptop and tinned fruit as a treat

Can you still get tip top?

My dad used to make us toffee with peanuts in it and a vile drink of hot milk with marmite in it called funnily enough milky marmite.

milky marmite - That's possibly the worst foody thing I've ever heard of - wrong on so many levels...

My Dad's an ace cook - he always cooks the Christmas dinner and leaves me, ma and sis getting pissed on champagne (always starts out as bucks fizz, but the orange juice gets abandoned pretty quick...).
He does use every pan, bowl, utensil, whizzer, grater, blender, knife, dicer and slicer available whatever he's cooking though, if he stirs something five times during cooking you can guarantee he'll use five spoons to do it...

Me and my dad nipped off to the Chinese once and opened the prawn crackers in the car. We were about halfway through them when we realised my mum would be angry with us, so we had to finish them in the space of about quarter of a mile, so that we could pretend they never existed. We just had to cram fistfulls of the damn things into our mouths as quickly as possible but we were giggling too much and the whole interior was covered in crumbs. I can still remember the feeling of prawn cracker coming out of my nose. It was very silly and God knows how the car stayed on the road.

My dad cooked as though it was a "project" ie. it took about 6 hours and you weren't allowed anywhere near the kitchen.

actually my dad is a good cook so it was normally really good like spag bo (did anyone else's folks cut the sketty up when you really small to stop you from choking?), curries, roasts, pies although he once tried to make us eat liver and we revolted on masse, well i say on masse i mean and the baby bro both went and sat in the toilet together till the dinner was scraped off the plate.

Anything my dad cooked was better than my mum's cooking which was truly fucking awful (and still is) he actually believed food should have some flavour rather than have the shit boiled out of it and all the flavour poured down the sink.

He did a pretty mean hotpot now and again. His keynote dish was sprats and crusty bread for saturday tea. I never got tired of that.

He's always had a hatred for onions though for some reason

Oh, that reminds me. He did a pretty mean bacon, liver and onions (he's pick the onions out)

Rice pudding made in the saucepan, and desiccated-coconut-and-currant sandwiches for packed lunches. Yum.

My mum was always passed off and moaning that he didn't feed us properly, but I think it was actually jealousy that we liked his stuff better than hers.

my dad loves tinned pears, eats them out of the can, and slurps the juice down

i sometimes buy a can for nostagia's sake

the juice is lovely

i remember him making a stew with dumplings. The dumplings where huge. too huge. and solid. too solid

we ate it though and it was ace.

blurrggggghhhh even though my taste buds have developed over time i still wouldnt eat liver and bacon. ooh he tried to get us to kidneys once as well that went down like a fart in a space suit too. Actually he could be quite evil at times, telling the little bro that the tin of lychees he was eating were monkey eye balls rob went white as a sheet, he also told me that the block of marzipan he was eating was cheese knowing full well that i am a greedy little cow and would take a huge bite, i nearly puked on my feet. He still loves nothing more than to wind his kids up and to try and feed me within an inch of my life when i go home Good old dad

My dad used to have a thing about packet stir frys, the ones with a watery aniseed sauce with lumps of MSG in. RANK
