If there’s one thing that large Facebook forums like The Salott excel at, it’s conjuring up a common sense of nostalgia. A post which appeared last weekend did just that, and all it asked was a very simple question about everyone’s favourite person, the nanna.

“Name something that your mother / grandmother cooked that was your favourite,” read a photo caption in the post, which very quickly saw dozens of people commenting. Here are some of the top dishes which were featured.

1. Ross il-forn (baked rice)

2. Imqarrun il-forn (baked macaroni casserole)

3. Minestra (thick vegetable soup)

4. Ravjul (ravioli)

5. Qassatat tal-irkotta (Ricotta pies)

6. Kusksu (broad bean soup)

7. Brodu (chicken broth)

8. Pulpetti bil-corned beef (baked corn beef patties)

9. Braġjoli (beef rolls)
