Food you were brought up on.

Lemon curd sandwiches. When there was nothing left in the house to eat I had lemon curd on white bread. I couldn't eat them now as I hate the stuff.
Sugar Puffs straight from the box.
Corned-beef ash (yuck).
Weetabix in hot milk before school on a cold day.

I remember my mum going throught the whole soya bean phase in the seventies.
Cheese and beetroot sandwiches, bannana cut in a bowl sprinkled with sugar, and jelly with ideal milk.

- banana sandwiches
- bananas in custard
- stuffed baked sheep's heart (my absolute favourite meal as a child)
- my mum's "creative" sandwiches for school lunch (cheese & walnut; date & apple; marmite & carrot)
- fish finger sandwiches
- baked apples with cream
- baked potatoes dripping with butter & cheese
- macaroni cheese with onions & ketchup
- amazing birthday cakes - one had jelly babies skiing down a mountain, another had a little house built with liquorice allsorts, and then there were the chocolate cakes decorated with real cream and walnuts...
- fritters - everything we could think of was dipped in batter & deep fried... apples and bananas were a favourite
- chinese takeaway (oh, those incredible mushrooms)
- yogurt straight from the freezer (before "frozen yogurt" became fashionable)
- tomatoes, chopped up, with grated cheese & chives - for breakfast

In our house we had kind of set nights ie,
monday was"fish night"
tuesday "pie night" (homemade)
Wednesday "lobby night"
Thursday "Banger n mash"
Friday "Pasta night"
Saturday Sheperds or cottage pie night ( not the same as tuesday NO pastry)
and of course Sunday Lunch, with Tea being sandwiches,yogurt or jelly and a peice of cake!

All could be mixed about a bit with either, chips, mash, jacket spud or salad
Nothing like routine!LOL
