MA YAPPY's COOKIN' THREAD!

Hey you guys, I'm thinking about food today and wondering what your favorite meals/recipes are? Vegemite, Spam, and front line foods and recipes, or "rationing time recipes" allowed in order to keep this sorta-kinda on MLU-Topic

I personally find that my favorite comfort foods are very plain and simply cooked:
(surprize... NOT chocolate!)

1) Potatoes
2) Beans
3) Pork (I'd make a lousy Muslim) I LOVE the crispy fat and hate when it's sold with the fat cut off. Those butchers should be shot for that :

(I also like tripe and onions! )

I recently hooked someone on a simple lima-bean recipe (he who absolutely HATES LIMA BEANS ... yeah right : )

I just simmer dried "BABY" (not the big fat ones YUK) lima beans with tons of chopped bacon, salt and pepper, toss in a little butter when almost ready to serve and simmer a little longer ... voila. Yummers! Simmer about an hour or so, ingredients to your taste. Just keep adding water as it simmers down. The beans breaking down in simmering will be the thickening agent. If you hate lima beans... those yukky green things, try these dried baby white ones... you'll be a convert!
