shepherds pie
If I could have convinced my mother/grandmother to make shepherd's pie every night, I would have been a happy little camper.
Alas, our menu usually featured a heavy rotation of frozen chicken pot pies (not that I mind those), Salisbury steak, usually accompanied by canned spinach (ick ick ick), sauerkraut with knockwurst (took me YEARS to be able to eat either of those foods, as terribly prepared as they were in my house) and then the Sunday "boil every bit of flavor out of whatever piece of meat is on sale and serve it with mashed potatoes and gravy made from the water it was boiled in" special.
I alternate between wondering how in the hell I turned into a foodie and being amazed that I didn't turn into one a lot sooner than I did...
