Women of your mother's age lead simple and humble lives. They do not have the same passions as the current generation and even when cooking, they cook in a traditional way using simple ingredients (found around the house). Unlike today's fast food, they are more delicious. Like your mother, my mother is also alive, so we can still reminisce about old delicious memories while eating a traditional delicious recipe.
Banana flower curry was prepared for me by my mother-in-law at her house on Wednesday in the most delicious way. I remember once I also prepared banana flower tempered with dried fish.
