Home cooking at its best

Eddoes with pork. Squash with chicken feet. Pumpkin with chicken. Chowmein with mince. There are many other combinations that I can go on to list, but it is not necessary to do so. There is something very special about how we create combinations that turn into the most delicious mash-ups ever. These are borne out of the need to stretch certain things, to make do; or, as in many cases, simply because we think the ingredients would go well together. We become truly the masters of our own meals, doing what we want, how we want to, because we can! That is what I like about home cooking. There are no rules.
