    I was bought up a while ago when we had sandwiches for Sunday tea and bread and butter with tinned fruit for afters, we also had bread and dripping with lashings of salt on top (also had it on toast) and real fat on meat!!!! but we didnt have biscuits and cakes unless it was a special day and no refined foods as they werent around then, and you are right I cant remember any plumper children at school, but we were also turned out to play in the morning and told not to come back until dinnertime, I can remember having a watch (wind up of course) and putting it back as I got that engrossed playing over the fields with friends that time was forgot and I was really really late!! the good old days eh!

    Nope! Skin and bone get mashed up. I was always told the calcium in the bones was good for you! But then I like the bones in skate wings and huss (rock salmon). OH calls me The !!!!!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    yeah - the bones in salmon are really soft! and if you mash the salmon up you really dont notice them! but, I would remove them if just flaking the salmon! I do remove the skin tho - otherwise it gives the fish a horrid gray colour!

    or in my case - Sunday tea followed by bath and Sing Something Simple (by the black and white minstrels - On the radio, rofl, even at age 8 I wondered how people knew if they were black or white!)
