Corned silverside with potatoes and beans, followed a day or so later by cold corned silverside with salad.
Then maybe corned beef fritters with sliced tomato to use up the last bits.
Beef stew with mashed potato.
Curry & rice
Spaghetti with cheese, never with meatballs unless out of a can.
Beef rissoles and veg.
Chicken once in a great while, never turkey or duck
Scrambled eggs with ham & cheese in it, sometimes with shallots too.
Omelet with similar contents
Fried fish with vegetables, usually bream or flathead
Canned tomato soup
Chicken noodle soup from a packet
Pea soup with ham, home made
Roast beef, pork or lamb with baked potatoes, carrot, peas or green beans and apple/mint sauce.

Since I'm an Aussie, growing up was looking forward to Roast Lamb on a Sunday.

My favorite meal of all time is what we had every Sunday night: Roast beef, potatoes and carrots with those tiny pearl onions, corn bread on the side with real butter (not margarine) and angel food cake

chicken with rice, noodles or sometimes mashed potatoes. I lived in Asia for a long time, hence the rice based diet.

I grew up on basic steak & Potatoes. I grew up on a cattle farm.

Now I prefer pasta.

kangaroo, crocodile or red-belly snake stew. sometimes we just eat whatever we catch in the backyard like koalas or spiders.

Mr.Knowitall

always had a bbq for birthdays and holidays.chops, sausages and chicken wings.

But Why??

In Australia, during the week just normal meat & Veggies, on a weekend the old lady would cook a roast (the best on earth), on a special occassion we would maybe have fish n chips from the milk bar up the road. isnt it funny how sons allways love their mums cooking over their wives, dont tell my missus that though!!!!

LPN in NEPA

Most eaten meal growing up? Goulash. Beef, carrots, celery, onion, and gravy over mashed potatoes. Or it could be put over bread if potatoes are not available, though its not as good with bread.
Favorite meal growing up? Tacos.
Favorite meal now? Tuna Melts.
Usual birthday meal? Wimpies, home made chocolate cake, vanilla ice cream.
Holiday? Thanksgiving - Turkey with all the extras. Christmas/New Year's Day - Ham
New Year's Eve - Chinese food or fish.

My family was rite into seafood we would always have a huge seafood selection at Christmas time and any other get together occasions
other wise we would have steak, mashed potatoes and peas

One Wing

Roasted turkey and cornbread dressing with all the trimmings. Candied sweet potatoes, and giblet gravy over mashed potaoes. That's right, we have to have two potato dishes, and a pecan pie to finish the meal. I left out many of the side dishes, but I could live on the ones I mentioned. I thank God for a mother who grew up in Alabama. Good place to leave, but a great place to learn to cook!
