Roast lamb is probably a misnomer, but my grandmother is British, and anything I ever had was basically some kind of a roast, as far as I can remember. Lots of boiled, bland, inoffensive things with gravy.

That was welcome to me as a kid. I can't say I hated anything she made, but I'm not a picky eater. But, nothing stands out as amazing from her. Ironically, my favorite childhood food is the au gratin potatoes my dad used to make when he was divorced and we lived in a shitty little apartment.

Lots of homemade wine and White rice with shredded beef she called "salpicon". She was from Honduras. I remember eating two plates of that thing every single time she made it. The beef had this really nice lemon taste and it also had chopped onions. I would combine it all with the rice and it was really good. Also some other Honduran stuff that I can't remember the name of, but it was a thick white drink made from corn. I really miss my Gran.
