TOAST !
I was thinking whilst laying in bed this morning, as one does.........
Did any of you more Senior posters ever enjoy something that today would be frowned upon by the Health P.C. Brigade.
My father introduced me to toast and dripping around 1951.
A cold winters evening sitting by the open fire on a Sunday before going to bed. Thick slices of bread, toasted on the fire, then coated with dripping collected earlier from the Sunday roast, with a sprinkling of salt !
I haven't had that for yonks !
LUVVERLEY !

Yeuch. I got taken out one night in Frankfurt (when I was working there) and given to eat with my beer thick chunks of bread covered in inches of fat/dripping. Makes me feel sick even thinking about it.J.R. wrote:My father introduced me to toast and dripping around 1951.

JR - you are welcome to mine!
Having more money doesn't make you happier. I have 50 million dollars
but I'm just as happy as when I had 48 million.

Huh!
"Dr" Gillian McKeith is a television bully. We had bread and dripping at Hertford, see previous post from Mary and there is little evidence of any of us Hertford girls suffering from consequential heart attacks...gemmygemmerson wrote:I dare to think what Gillian McKeith would think of that. Sounds ghastly and calorie ridden. Practically a heart attack on bread.
"Dripping" was a major part of Fifties food (sorry, previous reminiscences) but there was nothing like the obesity crisis there is today!
Bring it on! With lots of salt!
