Thanks for the memory of grandma’s kitchen. Papa’s specialty was ambrosia, made for every family dinner for about 30 people.

What about corn fritters? Big Papa’s (my great granddad) wife made them for the huge annual family dinner every summer. About 100 family members attended that. Big tables set up outside on their farm.
