Re: Food you were brought up on.

Great post indeed!

Phew there are too many to remember really - Burgers, Sausages (fresh or frozen), Sausage, Chips or Mash and Beans or Garden Peas, differing Soups! For years too my Grandad would allways cook a Full breakfast on a Saturday/Sunday - it wasn't a big one as such, but done properly with the Sausage really have the taste whiffing round the Kitchen for ages but done where you could really appreciate the flavour too (which by this point the Kitchen was nearly on Fire), but it all added upto what food we grew up I think and gives/brings back great memories on reading this thread!!

I never had brown sugar on toast or white sugar.
Never had brown sugar ever.


I often had toast with melted cheese and tomato alol done on the grill at the same time.
Absolutely wonderful.

anyone have brown sugar on toast? The bread was toasted on both sides, then one side buttered and given a good coating of soft brown sugar. Our dentist must have been busy. The 'thicks' or ends of the loaf were best.

Re: Food you were brought up on.

A salad every sunday for tea.

Spuds every nite for dinner monday to friday.

Angels delight every sunday either that or a wobbly jelly.

REASON I HAD SPUDS SO OFTEN AND A SALAD ON SUNDAY IS CAUSE MY DAD DID BUT I ACTUALLY LOVED THEM.

Re: Food you were brought up on.

Food I was brought up on :-
Weetabix, just about every morning and night.
Sausage and beans, every Saturday.
Jam sandwiches, regular after we came home from school.
Cabbage, every other Sunday.

Delicacy:-
Bread pudding. Did not have this much, but when we did, we would shovel it down.
Arctic Roll. Rarely at home, generally at my grand-mother's.
Angel Cake. Ditto.
Black-current tart. Ditto

Finally, orange squash. It had to be Quash (remember it?). Even now I can't bare to drink the stuff.:cry:

Re: Food you were brought up on.

Crisp sandwiches
Peanut butter - remember the first time!
Baked cooking apples stuffed with raisins with condensed milk poured over.
Frey Bentos pie - now, have these become smaller? There were three of us, and had one. I have three kids so there are four of us, and need two, at LEAST to feed us.
Bacon Grill ( you can still get this. I have no idea why)
Tinned luncheon ham for Sunday tea
Pilchards (barf, yuck, yuck YUCK)
Gold top milk from the cows behind the house, and the inch of cream on my Redibrek

But mostly, it was convenience food from a packet.

Not how I eat now, not at all.

Re: Food you were brought up on.

The oddist thing I remember eating in all my holidays in America was a catfish po boy, covered in so much gravy it was rapidly turning soggy & in danger of falling apart. The catfish is hard to discribe in terms of texture & taste but was nice.

Re: Food you were brought up on.

I see have you tried clam chowder, another American favourite?

Yes but not as a child. Back then I did the whole "Yeeeuuugh! It's got slimy shellfish in it, I'm not eating that!" when offered. I was in my early 20s when I tried proper New England clam chowder and rather liked it. I love the way it is served particularly on the West Coast in hollowed out sourdough bread although give me a bowl of it with crackers and it will be knocked back just as quickly.

Oddly, a number of years ago there was an American style diner here in Bristol on the Hengrove retail park that did an amazingly passable clam chowder. I introduced Mrs Von to its fishy delights there.

Not keen on Manhattan clam chowder though but that's due to the fact it has tomato in it and tomato and I don't mix
