Scone and chips at Podmores. They must have gone on for a few years as they were flat out during the war .I never ever sampled Scones. What was the main ingredient of a scone .Never ever seen or heard of them since .

Take a large potato. Cut two thin slices. Take a similar sized slice of fish and make them into a fish sandwich. Dip in batter and fry. Mmmm.
In other parts of the country they are known as fish cakes (but then what do they call fish cakes?)

I take it that "Bits on " refers to what we called "Scraps" . Thats the bits of batter floated off the hot fat

My preferred order was fish, scone and chips with scraps. Podmore’s was still going in 1987 but closed not long after that when the couple that ran it retired. Did anyone else judge their height in relation to how high they came up to the chip shop counter?

Just came to me - fried pork luncheon meat, or fried corned beef. We were so fond of our health foods back in the day.

Though it wasn't a favourite of mine, something that many people used to eat was haslet.
I only recently discovered what it was - a Lincolnshire version of meatloaf apparently.

What about red skinned polony?

Having been on a vegan diet for years, I shudder at the thought.

It seems that polony was Bologna sausage, sometimes called baloney.

Jam Roly-Poly, treacle sponge, spotty dick, apple crumble and other such health foods were a real treat.

Tinned fruit with Carnation

Treacle tart with cornflakes on top?

I had a mate who would go into the greengrocer's and ask for damaged fruit: they had a box near the floor containing rejects.

We also had a lad in the village who would beg the core when he saw a kid eating an apple. I never knew if his dad worked or not.

Gilbert Swift also told us that we should wear clean socks each day; if we couldn't manage that, we should wear a pair alternate days. Unbelievable today?

No wonder he wanted you to wear clean socks . I would know where I was blindfolded and taken into the Gym. He must have noticed
