What's the childhood food you missed? The ones your granny or mom used to make. email this discussion to a friend?

I'm happy today because I realized my craving to make something that my granny used to make us when we were still young, it's called 'Champorado' in my native tongue, but it's called 'chocolate porridge' in most nationalities.

It's like a porridge but with cocoa tablets called 'tabliya' (boiled cocoa seeds, ground and shaped into tablets - circular 1cm thick-coin like shapes - shown in the photo below).

My grandmother used to make that every Sunday. We pour condensed milk in it and enjoy its chocolaty flavor. Sometimes she boils the tabliya into hot choco which no instand choco drink could ever compete with. Though a note of warning because of its high cholesterol content.

Well, I have been keen to cook one someday and I'm glad we had made it for snacks this afternoon.

So what dishes, sweets, or cooking do you miss as a child? The ones your grandmother, mother or some relative used to make? Do you ever get to cook or it eat again?

My mom loves to make hot cakes and chicken "sopas" (noodle soup). She also make delicious "chocolate porridge" like your grandmother do. I like putting lots of milk on my porridge. It's so yummy. happy

Yum! Champorado is the best! And hot choco made from tabliya! Oh gosh, my mouth waters at the very though. Hahahaha drool

My mom is a great cook but she doesn't cook that often nowadays. She says its too much work now. But during special occasions, she likes to show her cooking prowess to guests and ourselves as well. I love her cooking!

What I really miss is my GRANDPA's cooking. Yep, he used to be the good cook in the family. My grandmother was lazy, according to my mom. My grandpa, we used to call him "Papang", made the best grilled meat and chicken. Yummy. I've never tasted anything as delicate and delicious as his grilled masterpieces. He passed away when I was still young though. May his soul rest in peace.

Oh, didn't anyone take the family recipe? too bad.. It would be nice if you'd share how he did it.

Hi, laydee! There are alot of foods that my grandmother made that i wish she was here now to make. I guess the most favorite would have to be chicken and dumplings. After she died i tried to make them like she did, as no one else in the family knew how she did it or how she got them to taste the way she did. I finally got them almost to the way she made them, but it was after alot of trial and error. Now i can pass the recipe on down through the generations. Most of the children, and grandchildren that have ate them say they are just like she made them. Another thing she made for us as kids was apple turnovers. I would love to have one right now. I am working on figuring out how she made them.

Oh I hope you could pass it up with me:) I just love cooking

That sounds very good. My grandmother was both an amazing cook and an amazing gardner and was also excellent at canning. My grandmother was very ond of rhubarb. She used to make rhubarb coffee cakes, and rhubarb crumbles, and rhubarb pie and they were all excellent. I have not really had good rubharb since her spirit left this earth. She also used to make these really yummy country style greenbeans, they had bacon, onion, and garlic in them they were so good.

What the food I miss is Pancit Molo my mother used to make it during Christmas or New Year. She seldom cook it because she can't find molo wrapper. I'm looking forward that she going to cook it again this Christmas.

Do you have any idea how to make those?


myLot reputation of 98/100. muscles4me (8458)   ranked 361 out of 11,159 in cooking  4 weeks ago

WOW, before to answer your question, let me say Champorado looks really good!

Anyways...for me it's a food my mother used to make, it's made with ground potatoes mixed with two kinds of cheese, salt and pepper, and spread on a baking tin, cooked in the oven till it's crunchy and tasty. I loved that so much...I don't really do it again because my eating habits changed and now I'm not eating potatoes or cheese anymore, but it was good. Who knows, maybe one day...


myLot reputation of 95/100. laydee (3920)   ranked 379 out of 11,159 in cooking  4 weeks ago

Hmm.. what type of cheeses were those made of?

I live with my grandparents so I get to eat all those foods I don't miss them yet.

I will say Nannie's chicken caserole, her chili, and her homemade biscuits.


myLot reputation of 95/100. laydee (3920)   ranked 379 out of 11,159 in cooking  4 weeks ago
