There are always some family dishes in every family that carry a tradition with them... not simply family recipes but they have a history, they are infamous and usually they are not really as good to those that marry into the family from which the dish sprang. Well Jason's family has a couple of dishes that seem to be revered. One that Ammon got to taste for the first time the other day was "Bubba." Bubba is really good and a treat when Nana makes some, it's basically a potato pancake that has been made in his family forever... they put applesauce on it and eat pounds of it at a time. There is a story that once their family was feasting on Bubba and Jason's dad & one of his uncles were full but wanted to eat more so they went out the front door and started running laps around his Nana's house to work up more appetite.... Jason was actually traded as a child to his Nana & Popo for weekends for trays of Bubba.
Ammon really liked it!
Daddy & Ammon finishing the last bite!!

hey guys its kristie i was talking to nana today after i saw the pictures cause i had to tell her, and i found out the story behindd how the appplesauce got started with the "bubba" the applesauce got started when nana and poppo were living in a rooming house in ohio waiting for there house to be built and they did there own cooking and they had a german living there with them and nana said that ahe was going to make bubba and he said is that a potato pancake she said yes and his asked if he could have some and asked for some applesauce nana was surprised that was the first that she had ever heard of that and so the applesauce stayed in the tradition of "bubba" ever since, our great gramma filina used to serve soup with it as well as shafully i liked hearing the story and i fingured that u would to.
