	I have to say that anything I cook that mother used to do taste different because I can cook :-S So yes it tastes different because she never taught me to cook my Gran and Dad did. ,,,Mind it has taken me many many years to be able to cook a yorkshire pudding :-D

	On holiday with my mum last month, my sister & I quizzed her about cooking tripe. We'd never got it right. We (like she did), cooked it with onions & carrots, but we cooked it in milk. It appears my mum cooked it in water (couldn't afford milk) and added cornflour!!!! All these years of trying to convince people it was delicious, and we'd cooked it wrong!! .....now, where can I buy tripe?........

	Now,it is not very hard to turn out a roast,although I couldn't make a decent Yorkshire to save my life. So, why did they need to get up at some ungodly hour and slave away for hours on end in a room full of steam every Sunday? What were they doing?

Member Since: June 2005 Posts: 8,791 Send Message	I got my Mother's cooking notebooks (it runs in the family, I've got two!). But she didn't write down her recipe for Turkey & Ham croquettes (something a bit different after Christmas lol) Does anyone have a recipe?
