Hi Bodzy, I, too, never liked tripe and onions, or dumplings. My mum used to make her own bread and it tasted lovely when toasted on an open fire. Toast done under the electric grill isnt quite the same. Used to love dripping butties too. I think we were all reared on them. I would fight with my brothers for the B.O.D. (Bottom of the Dripping)..........  |

I never did like any kind of marmalade. I now read in the English newspapers that marmalade is not beeing taken by the youth of today. Well smarten up then children. Go out and peal your own grapefruit and then go on to make your own fantastic marmalade. Each weekend when my wife and I eat together at breakfast - front line and centre on the table is a pot of home made grapefruit marmalade. Oh so gooooooooooood

Hi Joe, I have a lovely recipe for Marmalade Cake if you want it. I never did like any kind of marmalade. I now read in the English newspapers that marmalade is not beeing taken by the youth of today. Well smarten up then children.

Lin I wished you'd named this thread ".....detest or LOVE....." as I loved PANCAKES as a child and nothing has changed. I make such a mess in my kitchen every year just to stand there making pancake after pancake........... then we eat them and I clear up the mess. After eating them we all look at each other and ask "why do we only eat them once a year? They are soooooo delicious!" Then I return to the kitchen to clean up and ping! There's the reason, staring me in the face!

HI,all this is just e few foody things i remember. my mam sending me to the cake shop for tea cakes, muffins and a Qtr of boiled ham from Mrs Ortons corner shop.My gran sending me to the butchers get me 2 pounds of stewing steak, half a cowheel and six pennorth of melt.Gran had a bad habit of making me wear a pixie bonnet, keep your ears warm love, soon as i got out of the door off it came, always a penny for an apple on your way to school, she was really lovely. Sometimes the penny would be spent on two ha'penny or a penny cob, jump over the wall at playtime, you always had plentyof mates to help you eat them.Lin says she likes BPs well i used to make my own when i had the shop, but i think the best BPs i have ever tasted were made by Briggs & son just off oldham rd in Failsworth they were small all tied together with string ,they were always referred to as black persons kneecaps.Cheese & onions, ribs& cabbage,smoked haddock& parsley sauce, kippers, and my dear old dad made the best fried bread. Just to digress a little i notice a few differences in the language,for instance we had ironmongers, not hardware shops, cake shops not bakers, we also called billy carts guiders, very handy machines if your mam sent you for half hundredweight of coal, or when you went logging. In Harpurhey we had back entries but in Wythenshawe, they had guinells. hope i havent bored you to tears, regads Frank Walsh.

LEMON MERINGUE - YUK! YUK! YUK! YUK! YUK! - Saw a chef on t.v. making this today and it brought it all back to me. I once tucked into a slice in my innocent youth and couldn't spit it out (even though I hated the taste) because my manners were burned into me. I watched that chef make it from scratch and then watched as the tasters enjoyed it (?) and all the old memories came flooding back.
I did learn ONE useful thing though - to get a crunchy outer and soft inner meringue use half caster sugar and half icing sugar! Well why didn't I ever think of that.................?

Hi Lin, You're not supposed to mention LEMON MERINGUE on this chatline in case Babs reads it and goes off to her bakery for a large supply of the cakes. I'm sure Babs will tell you the story of when she ate two large ones in one go...... I'M NOT REALLY SWEET TOOTHED, BUT I DO LIKE LEMON MERINGUE MO....AFTER SAYING THAT I'M NOT SWEET TOOTHED I HAVE TO CONFESS I TOLERATE SOME SWEET THINGS MORE NOW I'M OLDER THAN I EVER HAVE, BUT I STILL WOULDN'T GO OUT OF MY WAY TO EAT THEM.

Hi Tommy and all
Yes I remember my mum putting the ointment on my finger to get a splinter out I think it was, but it worked. I loved (and still do) bacon, cheese and onions done in the frying pan with a drop of water. Any memories of that.

Hi Frances, Loved reading all your postings about the 'old' days. There are some threads where we have all contributed about those very subjects and we all seem to remember the same things. About your photo, you can send one as an attachment to Alan, our Webmaster, and he will put it on for you or follow the instructions on the Home Page. Good luck. HI Lisa I will try and find a photo that is kind to me to put online but not sure how to do it. Please let me know. thanks |
