Food From Your Youth

Do you remember that chippy mate?

I don't but I'm fucking starving and you're making me drool all over the cat.
On another note, Dunkley ave. cake shop in Failsworth made some lovely pasties back in the olden days.

Bet he can’t remember the last time he had a steak and kidney pudding

Oh he can.
Round about the time I put three Hollands pies on the electric towel rack in my hotel room to keep them warm for when I woke up for a sit down piss.
Matter of fact, we got hammered by (was it Palace away)? the same day.

Remember this nasty acidic stuff?

My dad used to work at Kelloggs at that time. He brought shit loads of that home. The grapefruit and pineapple ones were particularly nasty, that made you pull some contorted faces.

Your post brings back memories of when i split up with my ex Mrs and she got with a fella with a posh M5 on the drive. They'd have a Chinese takeaway every Friday as a treat but my girls were only allowed chips. I was fuming and it caused a row with my ex. I made a point of regularly taking them to Chinatown and allowing them whatever they wanted.

good on you mate

Coming from Manchester and having spent a few years in Bournemouth and now living in North Yorkshire I am still amazed its not normal to get a variety of pies, a steak and kidney pudding or even gravy in all chippies - In my youth a potato and meat pie chips peas and gravy with brown sauce sat in at Tommy's chippy in Middleton was a dream. Pudding chips and gravy on the way home from the pub was the perfect end to a night on the piss.

Tommy’s was ace

I used to go to a bake house in Cumbria that did a double pie, no lid just two pies stuck together, they were fantastic.

My mum was the only one in our house who liked liver and onions. Awful stuff, but I couldn't wait to dip my bread in the gravy when she was cooking it.

I made this a couple of weeks ago with mashed potato and onion gravy. Really good for you too.

Is lamb liver healthy?

In addition to its top highlights (B12, vitamin A, etc), liver contains a huge variety of hard-to-get micronutrients. Pound for pound, lamb liver is among the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet. Lamb liver is especially rich in highly bioavailable heme iron, B vitamins, vitamin A, and selenium.3 Jan 2022
