Growing up in St Louis, it was traditional for neighbors to bring food to your house when there was a death in the family. I thought that tradition faded away until a few years ago when my wife had a relative pass and a neighbor brought us a dish.
- codpiece 3y agoIt is still a tradition where I'm from, New England. It's just a natural reaction when a family is in trouble, you make them a casserole or something substantial that keeps for a few days. I did it a few times this year already. It's a way to express love and sympathy in a very practical, nourishing manner. I hope it never goes away.
