rubydazzler Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 What a great thread this has been .... I'm snowed under with memories of Sunday teatimes and all the weird and wonderful things we used to eat. I'd forgotten about most of them until today. My mother's meat and potato pie with double thick crust and lashing of Hendos ... yum ... tatie hash with herb dumplings bobbing about on the top on the pan (shout whip when you come to the meat, what did that mean?) seasoned pudding with onion gravy ... mmmm! delish .... I wonder how the children that didn't want to even try most of Jamie Oliver's healthy eating menus would have fared back then? Maybe he should have tried saying "gerrit dahn thi or tha'll get nowt else" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
depoix Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Tiffy how many people darn these days? I can remember my gran sitting with a big pile of mending on her lap and using a huge darning needle to fill in the holes. It used to feel really uncomfortable to wear the repaired ones especially if the darn was around the toe area. She also used to sew those leather patches on my school cardigans at the elbows to stop the wearing through. Bars of soap were bought months in advance and stored until they were rock hard before using them. That way they lasted much longer. We used to have a hobbing foot ( made of heavy metal with 3 foot shaped bits attached) which was used for repairing shoes. This could be fixing new heels or more likely sticking on new soles. i still have my dads hobbin foot, but i never saved the peg rugs,remember them?

Floridablade Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 How we all sat round the kitchen fire and pegged rugs with broken "cloors pegs" and threadbare cloth torn into strips. It had to be finished for christmas to brighten the place up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
