My grandmother passed her pumpkin pie recipe to my mom who improved it. My sister improved on my mom's recipe. It's killer.
My mom made a great date bread.
One of my comfort foods is my mom's tuna casserole. A lot of people hate tuna casserole but my wife got the recipe and makes it for me as a treat sometimes. She thinks it's barfy. Fine. All the more for me. LOL

Home made chicken soup. She made her own egg noodles and threw in lots of giblets which we all fought over. I have never tasted any better! Unfortunately I never got the recipe of how she made it. Damn!

Yum. Such a bummer that the recipe was lost. Lots of times the cook just knew how to make it with a pinch or this and a dash of that and never even wrote it down.

That stuff sounds great. I never had scalloped oysters. I bet I'd like it. The Mexican goulash sounds yummy. The pistachio cake sounds amazing, too. I'm lucky that sister got some of my mom's and grandmother's recipes.

A lot of things, and I have spent years re-creating those recipes, as some, the grands, have passed, and their recipes were in their head, only!! :(
I'm super close, on the best ones. . .

As you said, a lot of those folks just had the recipes in their heads. A pinch of this and a dash of that.
It's cool that you've been able to recreate some of those.

i've always liked the taste of bone marrow, foreign cheese and bread. unfortunately my family couldn't make cheese or bread.

Lliam

I don't know anyone who makes good cheese. LOL But I agree with you, foreign cheese rocks.
My grandmother used to make bread sometimes. But she and my grandfather used to get fresh bread from a really good bakery. It was the bomb.
And yes, bone marrow is great. I've sucked it right out of the bone before. Spreading on bread is delicious, too. I haven't done that since I was a kid. I did invent a fantastic ox tail stew.
