How we used to eat.

Maybe me and Snowy have similar tastes. When I was 21 I got drunk at a mates house and asked for a sandwich. My pal brought in a pâté sandwich and boy it was yummy. I asked for another and said make your own. So I went into the kitchen only to find some bread and tin of KiteCat with a butter knife in it lol.

Nothing wrong with KiteKat sandwiches. Just make sure you use the litter tray.:D

Just chilling at my mums.

She was remembering the good old days, and how we used to eat.

Growing up, with the food she remembers filling up on after a meal.

Tapioca pudding
Rice pudding
Bread pudding
Macaroni pudding.

She's having a bucket of bread sauce with the chicken now, on top of the potatoes.

Guess the T2 gene didn't come from her then.

my dad's from the East End of London, not very well off at all. My nan used to make all that kind of stuff, cheap and very filling.

You missed off the big fat, thick doughy yorkshire puds though.

She developed T2 as well, as did my dad's elder sister. I'm the first T1 as far as I know
 
Now here's a blast from the past, our next door neighbour made bread fried in the dripping that was left from the breakfast. A hearty brekkie bonus.
 
Talking about rice pudding, my mother used to make it very buttery with a crisp skin! And she made wonderful apple pies and custard! Her pastry was so light but it is still sticking to me many many years later!
And sweets! Sherbet in a bag and dip! Penny chews! Penny bars of Cadburys!

Oh dear they are all sticking to me now too after many many years!

...washed down with a glass of weak, tepid orange squash! Those were the days!

...and I was hated by half the class for having the snack (one girl tracked me down on Friends Reunited some twenty years later to confess and apologise)!

I used to order this in the work's canteen - two triple decker rolls that had egg, sausage and bacon topped with a fried potato scone. Scrummy lol. Alas fond memory only. Aww. Sniff.
 
Brown sauce and a roll n bacon belong together believe me it's ace. As Paul Daniels would say "I like it but not a lot" lol
