Apron Strings

What is the worst dish some­one in your fam­ily ever cooked? Do you remem­ber dodg­ing rock hard bis­cuits from your aunt or a demented Jello salad recipe from your grandmother?

Did you dread Dad’s uni­formly grey steaks or Grandpa’s ‘kitchen sink’ chili?

Share your pain with us here. You can peruse the selec­tion we already have in the Apron Strings archives for inspi­ra­tion and to jog your undoubt­edly blocked mem­o­ries. Like Barry Martin’s hilar­i­ous post here about dis­cov­er­ing his Mom’s go-to cook­book. You might want to read about the Invasion of the Alien Veggie Loaf or the omi­nously titled “Safety First”.

We’ll choose our favourites and the win­ners will receive gift cer­tifi­cates to Fiesta Farms. You can use them to pick up ingre­di­ents for a more beloved and cher­ished fam­ily recipe.
