Rolley Polley, Suet pudding cooked wrapped in the same grubby old cloth fixed with a couple of big safety pins.

We knew we were having suet pudding when we came home and mum only had one stocking on :005:

Eggs.  Strapped for cash and inspired by Tom and Barbara, Dad built a chicken coop in the back yard.  Then the race was on to eat them faster than five hens could lay them.  Not many got swapped or sold. I take my hat off to him and to Mum who found ever more ingenious ways to build them in to our meals.  All had pencil written dates on them and she was meticulous about the order of use.  As a kid you just assume such stuff is normal.  It really wasn't even then and certainly isn't now.

Scrambled eggs on toast remains my ultimate comfort food.

In the 60's as a young lad before every home game I had saveloy and chips.
At home again in the 60's I remember my mum regularly making spam fritters.

Could you see young girls with kids doing that now.
4 minutes in the micro is all most know,no wonder you see so many pale faced kids around,all lacking certain vitamins.
There was a documentary on last year,and a high percentage of kids around 10-15 had never tasted carrots or cabbage...Unbelievable.

To be fair to the kids of today. I'd eaten both by the time I was ten but didn't realise either had a taste until I left home. There used to be a restaurant on the corner of Dawes Road and North End Road. I started going in there on a Friday night with my Boss and discovered Liver that melted in the mouth as opposed to tasting something like a car tyre and vegetables with colour and flavour. Plus the service was fantastic they treated you like a long lost brother. I wish I had made more of that as a kid but you're just not old enough to appriate what's going on around you.
By the way. A lovely story by  Carborundum :)

Dad earned to much money allegedly for me my brother and sister to have free school meals in primary school. So at lunch time we would go home and have a bread related lunch. Beans ,spaghetti beef dripping and the dreaded  lemon curd hated the stuff but in those days it was Take it or Leave it ! I still to this day will not eat anything with lemon in it . Used to love Sunday's round my nans roast dinner on the go me being sent to the Wilton arms to collect my dad and grandad, Grandad knowing he was in trouble would buy half a pint of winkles to keep her happy. Then it was wrestling on the Tv followed by a film then a game of cards chase the ace for the kids and later on cribbage for the adults.Happy days .
