Answer 1

I don't know where my Mother found this recip back in the 1970's- but since I was young, it has been "the birthday dinner" and although she is now gone, my daughter learned it from ehr and still makes it every year for my birthday. Sounds a bit strange- raisins and ground beef? but it is fabulous!
Served with Rice and a Green Salad and Ice Cream Cake, of course!

Jamaican stuffed pumpkin-
1 medium pumpkin ( should fit in your biggest stock pot and in your oven)
2 lbs ground beef
6 oz smoked ham
2 t oil
2 1/2 cups onion, chopped
2 green peppers, chopped
2 1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp olive oil
2 tsp oregano
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp vinegar
1 tsp red pepper
2 cloves garlic
1 cup raisins
1/3 cup green olives ( optional- I don't like them...)
1 8 oz can tomato paste
3 eggs.

Cook ground beef and ham in oil until cooked through, add onions, peppers, and garlic and cook until softened. Add the rest of the stuffing ingredients and place aside to cool.
Cut the top off the pumpkin and remove seeds and pulp. Heat water in stock pot and boil pumpkin for 30 minutes, or until soft (you can also wrap in saran wrap and cook on high power in microwave for 15 minutes or until soft.) Put stuffing in pumplkin and place in shallow pan, add water to pan about half way up and cover top with foil- bake at 350 degrees for an hour. scoop out a piece of pumpkin with some meat mixture, to eat, mash up the pumpkin. Serve with white rice and a salad.

Answer 2

I am from a small German farmers community.
There were several dishes I favorited
1.) a mixture that was boiled in a special alumni pot
1 layer meat loaf
1 layer cabbage
1 layer white gravy
until the container was full. Than it would be sealed and put in a bigger boiler pot with boiled water . Cooked for an hour. Delicious

Another one I like, left over spaghetti . Mom would fry them in butter very crisp. Yum

Another one was sausage in a skin. Made from skin from the pig. My father slaugthered once a year. It was always a treat.

And than the good old German bread put some lard or beacon grease on it , with salt. Yum.

If my mother were still alive, I'd want her beef stew. She made it in the pressure cooker, in two steps. First, vegetables: carrots, onion, potatoes, celery, and turnip. Then, the meat, seasoned with only salt and pepper. She'd make a wonderful gravy/sauce with Kitchen Bouquet and serve it all with homemade biscuits and salad. Mom wasn't big on dessert, but Dad would take us up to 31 Flavors for ice cream.
If Grandma were alive, I'd want her brisket. Tender, juicy, served with horseradish and noodles. Wonderful. Her best dessert were cheese blintzes: very light crepes filled with something like ricotta cheese or fine curd cottage cheese, sweetened with spices and sugar, then baked. They were served with a jam topping. Heavenly.

Every year for my birthday my Mother-In-Law cooks my favourite homefries for me. I have her recipe and can make them myself but they are just not the same. I can eat almost a full skillet when she makes them, they are just yummy!
