Awesome tip Myrrph and the vege recipe sounds delish .... just have to get some cabbage and will try it.... have you ever done blanched cabbage then quickly fried with a bit of butter and bacon...... mmmm mouth is watering just thinking about it |

Remmy sounds like my mum's diet growing up. Every meal they had bread fried in dripping, for breaky they had a small piece of bread with jam and cream, lunch was bread dripping and whatever was left over boiling in the pot from yesterday and dinner was veg from the garden and whatever fish my grandfather caught the night before ( he was a house builder by day and fished by night and my uncles when they were old enough trapped rabbits) everything was fresh out of the garden or preserved/canned/jammed. Mum got her first pair of shoes at the age of 7 to go to school (second hand which was quite common in those days) .... imagine 7 year olds having to live like that today lol Sounds very much like what my mum had growing up too. She always attributed her and her sisters' bad teeth to the fact that they ate so much bread and dripping and bread sugar when they were young. Mum always used to tell my grandparents off for feeding us grandkids with bread with jam and cream too; but my and my cousins would always ask for it as soon as we got through the door.  |
