Ham Sandwiches 'too Dangerous For Children'

[La_Dolce_Vita]

Often the wartime ration diet is held up as an example of a healthy diet, anyway i seem to remember seeing it in press, but was their diet that pc by todays standards?

.

 

Was it that what? PC? I have never eaten anything food that has the ability to communicate once cooked.

 

To some degree our generation carried on the wartime diet, mainly because of cost.

So we ate mucho offal, offal products like brawn and faggots, cheap fatty cuts of meat, mince,spam, luncheon meat, tripe etc. Corned beef and ham was cheap and plentiful as was was bacon with saltpetre.

Unlike today, veggies and fruit were seasonal, root veggies, flavoured with buttter were a standard. Full fat milk, cheap butter and marge and of course the famous "chippy tea".

Seems like another world now, no lambs testicles for brekky these days.

 

Brawn is yum!

Its not my intent to promote that diet as "ok" just to compare, many would be horrified if served up dishes that we delighted in.

Brawn? i should coco---specially on chips cooked with beef dripping. ( i have not owned nor operated a chip pan in 15 years]
