Readers respond: What did your mum or dad make for dinner growing up that you haven't had in ages?
Sometimes love and affection comes in the form of food, especially when it’s made by our parents.
As we grow older and start our own lives we begin to miss the things we got used to as we grow up, especially the food our parents made.
Here are some dishes our Over60 readers grew up with that they miss dearly.
