i thought it sounded german... ;)

when i was a kid we had liver - usually pork or beef - with onion and apple, and mashed potatoes. chicken liver was for special occasions, in soufflet omelettes.

Self-made chipsies and self-battered fish. Lots of vinegar.

OMG!  You just helped me to remember.  It was my grandmother who used to add the apples into the recipe I gave out.  When my mom would make it, she would skip the apples because she did not feel like dealing with the hassle of peeling And slicing them.

Thanks Pete.:)

shame on your mom, it's not half as nice just with onions... ;)

Thus the reason why I liked it better when I ate it at my grandmother's house.  And, since I was a young child, my mother figured I would not know the difference....WRONG!  

Now I'm craving for this, with the apples.  I will make some in your honor soon.

[OneArpeggioPete]

i think i might make some in my own honour soon, too... ;)

Tell us.

[GreenSpirulina]

hm, well you just boil some taters.

Then you make a simple white sauce, with a buttery roux, milk and stock. some nutmeg. this has to be creamy and yummy and lots!

this is served on one plate together with a nice tossed (iceberg, and some radishes preferably) with a very simple vinaigrette. top off with a nicely fried egg or two, and yum on. Grannie knows best;)

Potato and white sauce goes in the bowl first, then the salad, then the fried egg on top?

[OneArpeggioPete]

ah sure, yeah... my dad used to make that when i was little. he's a great cook, but for some reason whenever he was on lunch duty it was either spuds in white sauce or poached eggs in mustard sauce. :rolleyes: ;)
