When she was alive, whenever we would come to visit, my grandmother would make me a mess of fried Okra. I loved visiting for that reason.

Mmm, see, fried okra is indeed comfort food to me. My Grandma Riden would fix bacon, eggs, fried okra, and Texas toast for breakfast when I was a boy ... pretty much the only reason my sis and I weren't entirely miserable when we visited.

Well, my grandmother nowadays is deceased, but she could bake a really good chocolate cake. I remember every family gathering not eating too much "normal" food just so I could eat three pieces of chocolate cake.
And as for my mother, she's really good at baking cookies.

My mother frequently made homemade gingerbread.
One grandmother's signature dessert was sweet potato pie. The other's was blackberry dumplings. RE: What does your mom/grandma bake for you?

My Nanna sometimes used to make this Maltese rabbit stew dish called "Fenkata". For special occasions, biss, divine.
She also still does this baked rice dish that's common in Malta, quite nice as a smaller meal.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
My grandma makes the most amazing rum cake I've ever had. Rum cake is my favorite!
“Love is the only bow on Life’s dark cloud. It is the morning and the evening star. It shines upon the babe, and sheds its radiance on the quiet tomb. It is the mother of art, inspirer of poet, patriot and philosopher.
It is the air and light of every heart – builder of every home, kindler of every fire on every hearth. It was the first to dream of immortality. It fills the world with melody – for music is the voice of love. Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to Joy, and makes royal kings and queens of common clay. It is the perfume of that wondrous flower, the heart, and without that sacred passion, that divine swoon, we are less than beasts; but with it, earth is heaven, and we are gods.” - Robert. G. Ingersoll
According to my mother, you could never tell what my grandmother cooked, cause everything tasted exactly the same, and tbh my mums cooking was never great either, although she used to make a fab brandy chocolate mousse. Booze and chocolate, you can't go wrong.

Nothing, since they're both dead, and even when my mother was alive, she was kind of too sickly to bake herself.
