I take it that \\\\\\\"Bits on \\\\\\\" refers to what we called \\\\\\\"Scraps\\\\\\\" . Thats the bits of batter floated off the hot fat
Yes Mike, scraps. My computer's playing up and I could only read your first line. There's also a red triangle saying, Not secure?

Re: Dietary preferences

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

Re: Dietary preferences

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.

Re: Dietary preferences

What about red skinned polony?

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

Re: Dietary preferences

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

Re: Dietary preferences

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

Re: Dietary preferences

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
