mgblade Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 what meals did you have when you were young, i was talking the other day with my work mates and laughing at some of meals we ate and loved them ......... i remember bread and dripping,liver and onions yuk, meat and potato pie, stew and dumplings, yuk, dont mind them now, friday was always fish day, rabbit stew how gross, shephards pie just mince and onions how boring, everything was all home made.scallops, just thinly sliced potatoes in batter yum,oh and chips and spam, my mum used to make a meat and potato pie and with the left over pastry would make jam tarts and apple pies, if we didn,t want anything what my mum put on the table there wasn,t anything else how things have changed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazyherbert Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 We,us old foggies, were only talking today about the same subject.If our mother put something on the table there was never a discussion about what it was you just ate it & glad of it.I can`t ever remember leaving anything on my plate at home,but fair to say my mother was brilliant cook.My mothers Suet Dumplings with custard were out of this world.I can still taste them.
