We would go to hos house every Saturday and he would make a dinner (which was served at lunch time - he always followed the European custom of the largest meal of the day at midday and having a light meal for supper)
He made a wonderful beef roast and mashed potaoes and he woudl go out to he garden and harvest string beans and carrots and make them as creamed vegetables
or ham with chowchow - his home made green tomato piccallilli on the side- and the left over ham would of course become his famous ham casserole the next day
