My dad makes the most amazing preserved vegetables. My grandmother taught him and its a family secret. He won't even tell my mom and my mom has to BEG him to make it. He keeps it in a jar for a few days for the best flavor, but my sister and I would sneak bites that by the time it's supposed to be ready, it's half eaten. It has chinese cabbages, cucumbers, baby onions, and carrots. It sweet, crunchy, sour, spicy (like kimchi! but not red), and salty. The mouth is confused at first, but the stomach is always happy. (I miss my dad!).

My dad loves cabbage rolls. His grandmother used to make them, and the recipe came from the "Old Country".

antipasta my father always had alot of that around the grill

Sour beef and dumplings and chocolate topped cookies

My father made the best apple pie!

My Dad loves Korean food, especially bulgogi!

Just one? Pancakes, Manhattan Clam Chowder, ice cream, and Milk Shakes are the first ones that come to mind.

Anything with molasses. He liked sandwiches with blended peanut butter and molasses, and liked molasses on his oatmeal. (Mind you, he ate the oatmeal both cooked and raw.)

Also, any Chinese food. He worked in China with the UN (Actually UNRRA) for almost 2 years after WWII, and always had a love for Chinese food. (Hard to get in SC in the early 60s - even the ingredients!)

Chocolate Malt with Coffee Ice Cream.

SOS (chipped beef gravy) Daddy(a former Marine Corp DI) used to make it for Sunday breakfast when I lived at home. It was always yummy and one of his favorites(and mine)

My father's favorite meal: meatballs with lotsa ketchup and then pineapple fluff for desert.

I would have to say baked beans because he will eat them straight from a can.
