There isn't a great deal of good memories of meals my mother made, bless her. Money was tight and we used to get the same meal two days running no matter how horrible it was!..
However, what I do remember are "high teas"... Sundays were an all day eating fest, sunday lunch then by tea time it was either salad or butties with an assortment of home made cakes/scones/pastries dotted all over. If I put a spread on like that for my family they would turn green!

I have just had a paste sandwich with some pickled onions on the side for my dinner. YUK i hear you shout, but i just really fancied it. I used to eat it all the time when i was young, sitting at home with my mum watching cockleshell bay, after coming home from morning nursery ( and yes i can remember that far back) lol Its funny how certain foods remind you of things/people/places.
Which foods bring back memories for you?

Kangaroo (sorry all you skippy lovers) .... lovely meal, great bunch of people and beautiful weather......ahhhhhhhh it was great!! smile

I find that smells are far more evocative of times past for me. In fact its a complete rush when it happens. Very powerful. The smell of a fragrance bring back an old flame or a passed on relative, floor polish that bring back primary school assemblies on paraquet flooring.

Mmmmm.... warm school milk. That's one I'd managed to repress until now. :shock:
Frank Coopers Oxford marmalade and patum pepperum gentlemens relish
I remember having milk at playtime at infant school, that was the early 90's...when did they stop that?
Free milk for secondary school children was stopped in 1968 I believe, and Maggie Thatcher Milk Snatcher removed it from the over 7's in 1971
My kids have milk in school, but it's only available for under 7's and it has to be paid for although it is subsidised
Scraping cake mix out of the mixing blow, that does take me back.
We were talking about school dinners as we remember them at work last week. Semolina with the fluorescent pink sauce, tapioca etc and progressed on to the puddings we used to love... pineapple upside down cake, homemade rice pudding and fighting over the crispy skin on it, spotted dick and bread and butter pudding.
There's no wonder I'm no-where near a size zero is there? :giggle:
