There were a hundred and fifty of living in a shoebox in the middle of the road'. Never tried ketchup sarnies, had sugar ones when i were a youngen. They used to crunch when you bit into them. Don't think I could stomach them now. Sausage, chips and egg an all time winner for sure, sausage mash and beans also a great quick scoff. Got to be a good pork sausage though, not the watery slugde garbage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker570 Posted October 29, 2022 Report Share Posted October 29, 2022 When I was a little boy during the last war my grandmother would cut a threequarter inch slice of bread, spread it with beef dripping and then sprinkle sugar on it. I think that is where I got my sweet tooth from and lost all of my teeth before I was twenty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salt and freshly ground black pepper. As an aside beef dripping is lovely instead of butter for beans on toast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted October 29, 2022 Report Share Posted October 29, 2022 OMG - I used to love bread and Dripping, the jelly "stuff" was sublime. Best quick snack now has to be Haslet with Wholegrain Mustard on Home Baked Bread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marsh man Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 We were more or less brought up on a Sunday morning with egg and bacon with maybe some beans , yes we did have sausage's fairly regular and maybe we got used to the early ones but it might just be my taste buds are not the same , to me today's sausages are not as tasty as the ones we were brought up with , we have tried several small village butcher shops and the majority are fine but I wouldn't crave for them week in and week out. My favorite breakfast was after getting up early and roaming about the marshes for a few hours and then coming across a nice little ring of field mushrooms , these were carefully put in the game bag ( postman's bag ) and were stuck in the frying pan with a few rashes of fresh bacon and a couple of new laid large eggs as soon as I got back home , as for beef dripping ? , yes we had a fair bit of that , we used to buy it from a small butcher in the town who had won countless medals for pork pies , the beef dripping came in a little White dish , while there we would also buy some Savory ducks , a few slices of Haslet ( Pork and Sage meatloaf ) and a nice fresh Pork Hock , tell yer , we didn't do that bad living in the sticks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yates Posted November 2, 2022 Report Share Posted November 2, 2022 (edited) My guilty secret/can't be bothered food is tinned kippers. Seven minutes in a pan of boiling water, serve with bread and a poached egg. You can't tell the difference ( not true) but worth the compromise as there is no smell or fiddly bones to sort out Edited November 2, 2022 by yates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diver One Posted November 2, 2022 Report Share Posted November 2, 2022 Ketchup sandwich? HEATHEN! HP or Salad Cream or horseradish sauce sandwich is the way to go.

I always thought you was into 'bottoms' 🤣 My grandfather would dig a hole in the dripping and then get a teaspoon and scoop it out. YES!

Must be generational; my grandfather was known as the "dripping miner" because he did exactly that - except I only remember him using a knife (so he could spread it).

Heating goes on in December whether it's needed or not 😂🤔. Mind you, wife is laid up with a broken leg after being kicked by a horse last week and is complaining of feeling a bit nish 🤢 And at 66 1/2 I've just been told I'm type 2 diabetic so the butties may well be another avenue of pleasure that has been closed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
