....when it was embarrassing to let your mates know that you had had fish and chips for dinner ?
It was considered such a "cheap" meal
Even worse was "dripping sandwiches" for school lunch oooooh it was good though
Ok - all our yesterdays with food eh.....
1. Sugger butties The staff of life (as long as mum wasn't around)
2. Dripping on toast, with loads of salt on a Sunday evening (dripping had gone hard in a cup - storred since Sunday lunch)
3. Yorkshire puddings - cold left over ones with jam in for Monday tea
4. Beans on toast or what mum used to call 'skinheads on a raft'
5. Crisp butties - but only when we had enough dosh as kids to buy crisps
6 walking rather than catching the bus - so we could spend our 2p on 2oz of pear drops or chewing nuts
7. Tuesday tea - sliced oranges with suger on top, left for a couple of hours in the fridge before eating
8. Vimto - but only once per year, on our annual hols to Soth Denes in Lowestoft
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh:roundgrin
