Thank you all for your help Lots of offal, in those days, the old ladies used to say there was no part of a pig you could not eat. Bag, Chitilns, tripe. Sheeps heads would be the base of a stew. (they used to say leave the eyes in it will see you through the week,). Bread and dripping, bread and lard. Cheese was usually available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon26 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 My Grandma's favourite saying when we asked her what was for pudding was "two runs around the table and a bite at cellar door". Puddings: My grandma would do rice / milk pudding in the oven. Yorkshire pudding with a spoonful of treacle. Baked egg custard. Her ancestors were bakers/confectioners. She made wicked brandy snaps. Scones Seed (caraway) cake. Yuk! Rabbits: My other grandparents came from a family who all dealt with rabbits either for food or skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
