Kippers & custard

my favourite tea as a child was homemade broth with crusty bread and I still love it now.

Nothing beats it on a freezing night and I always make enough for a couple of daysm it just gets better tasting. No one else likes to eat it for days in this house but I can quite happily have soup of some kind every day

Another is cheese and potato pie with beans, cheese and mashed potato, more cheese on top with tomato slices cooked in the oven with baked beans. I also add caramelised onions to my potato now but they were never there when I lived at home

Potted meat sandwiches on day trips to Blackpool. And salmon paste too. My Mums home made fishcakes every Friday after school. Mucky fat (beef dripping) and salt on warm home made bread rolls (called teacakes in Yorkshire)

Best shepherds pie i ever tasted was at The Cheesecake Factory in Florida.

A scotch pie with peas on top, bought from the transport cafe across the road on family allowance day lunchtime from school. I can still smell it.

Thats what my Nan used to say was for tea if we couldn't decide what we wanted!

I remember my Mum bringing me pizza for lunch at school, I was about 5 and was at school in New York and they used to let the parents come in at lunch time and bring lunch. i remember big slices of hot gooey pizza, folded in half and dripping with cheese....

Mashed banana sandwiches on fresh white plastic bread. We always had those on a Saturday tea-time followed by jelly & blancmange

My father was the cook in our house when I was growing up in the 1960's. My best memory is of his marrowbone soup. He used to buy a big marrowbone and make stock with it and then make the most delicious broth with all kinds of vegetables and pearl barley and herbs. I have tried to make it on numerous occasions but have never even come close to the taste - it was wonderful.

I also loved cheese pie and mashed potatoes for school dinners - not sure if I would like it now though!!

My Dad also used to by a "boiling fowl" and stew it for hours and then take the meat off the carcass and make a sauce with the stock, vegetables and mushrooms and serve it with boiled rice - I loved Chicken and rice night!! Again, I have tried to recreate it but to no avail.

On a final note about food memories. Do any of you remember Kali lumps? They were these pillows of fizzy rock candy - about 2 inches long and they had pink or cream ones - I loved them!!

Chips and gravy every lunch at college with loads of vinegar on, and pickled onion crisps for dessert :j

How I managed to stay 5 stone wet through during those two years I'll never know.

My mum's corned beef hash - cannot make it myself :mad:

And Butterscotch angel delight with a mars bar chopped up and mixed in.

I lived with my Gran and Grandad when I was little and we had a Bird's trifle every sunday afternoon. During the summer we would go to Lyndhurst and watch the cricket and have cold new potatoes, salad and cold hard boiled eggs with salad cream
