We put gravy on spaghetti bolongese , like instead of the tomato sauce , we use gravy

Brown sugar cooked in with sauerkraut. It's the only way I would eat sauerkraut, and I never realized it was weird til I grew up. It tastes kinda like sweet and sour.

It's greasy meat but tasty so I liked it and would eat it again

American cheese sandwiches on white, with mayonnaise. Yuck.

Not by my mum, as such, but at school they had this pudding that was Farley's Rusks (Basically, Babies biscuits that you are suppose to mash up with milk) and custard.....

To this very day, It is a pudding that I eat!

3 or 4 Big Rusks, broken into big chunks, topped with custard..

Delish!

A Romanian bread she called something like "momalicka". Yes a terrible name. It was a partly raised corn flour bread similar to a tortilla accept far thicker.

It was also a hidden joke among the rest of the family that none mentioned to her. 😁😈

For dessert we had cut up strawberries in sugar on top of biscuits with either whipped cream or ice cream. It’s really good but I’m not sure if it’s a northern thing or if my dad just didn’t know how to make shortcakes and that was his idea of strawberry shortcake 🤷‍♀️😂

Apple sauce on mashed potatoes. My dad's invention.

I’ve never heard of that, maybe it was something they learned to do during the Depression, they came up with some really strange recipes. .........................................
For birthday cakes my aunt would usually make an angel-food cake, a boiled frosting and buy those hard sugar decorations to top it that said “Happy Birthday”, thinking about it now that was kind of a strange combination. The sugar decorations didn’t taste good & were hard & crunchy, the boiled frosting was soft and angel food cake was chewy. I like angel food cake, it’s good with strawberries but that combo is weird.

Pokeweed.

Pickled pig feet.

My mum used to deep fry eggs if we had egg and chips. They were delicious but I've never know anyone else who had them.

If we were driving somewhere far away to visit relatives we’d stop at a little store along the way....buy bologna, an orange mayo sandwich spread with sweet pickles in it, white bread and stop along the way at a roadside picnic area and have sandwiches. That sandwich spread was definitely weird and I don’t know how many families bought it, but haven’t seen it in a long while.

Doesn't sound awful

My late grandfather would beat egg whites until theyd become this cream and he'd sprinkle some sugar and have us eat it for breakfast . Its like uncooked meringue lol I suppose

Sounds good though

Never come across those as a homemade item but they sound similar to supermarket "Cocktail Scotch Eggs"

Mincemeat pie and mincemeat cake. Who the hell puts meat in sweet cakes and pies anyway? I never ate those after I grew up.

My mom would mash up biscuits/cookies with warm milk to make a quick porridge for us. She would add cinnamon & honey to it at times. I used to LOVE that concoction. I guess I still do, lol.

All that I was fed as a kid was nothing less than the feast each meal.

nothing, everything i had was normal.

Tongue. It was gross.

Liver and onions. Ughhhhhhhhhhhhh

My Mum used to make sandwiches for Dad and me to take to work/school made from cold leftover roast beef or pork. Cold roast is ok by itself, but the way Mum made the sandwich was kind of odd. First, she used 2 whole slices of squishy white WonderBread, then slathered tons of butter, mayo and pickle relish on each slice, topped that with raw onions and green peppers, and then finally added a thick slice of roast with plenty of fat on it. I had terrible indigestion until I learned to take 2 bites and throw the rest away.

Tongue,brain,liver.gizzards,heart. All those yummy internal organs,braunswager,bologna
