[quote=Anonymous]I ate home-cooked meals cooked by my grandma. She would make donuts, Viennese style, to die for. Crepes were also a treat, with our own jam. We kids would love it, and they would be gone in minutes.

Risotto with carrots and chicken. 
We shelled peas (like a stew or a soup) ourselves.
Beans, so many beans, so many pickled things in the winter. 
For special holidays, small cookies and tortes with walnuts.
Our sour cherries, regular cherries, apricots, and raspberries from my uncle's raspberry patch at the village house. The days when the raspberries were ripe were the best ones!

Cabbage salad, cabbage soup, cabbage many things, fresh and sauerkraut.

Pork and beef stews. 
Roasts with potatoes and veggies for Sunday lunches—plain tomato salads. Schnitzels, all homemade. 
Our own smoked meats. We would butcher a hog and buy half a cow in the fall and make our sausages and smoked meats. We used our own lard.
Grandma would kill our chicken- yes, it was scary to see- and then make a soup, boil it, then crisp it up in the oven. You had to cook chickens like this; they were too harsh otherwise.
Most of our meals consisted of a small amount of meat and were primarily composed of vegetables and potatoes. We ate potatoes a lot.
Back home, meat has become the central part of dinners and lunches in recent decades.  There is now a lot more meat than vegetables. This was not something we could afford back then.[/quote]
