I dont think this is a 50s/60s thing, probably more 30s/40s but my Great Aunt used to use the leftover Yorkshire Puddings as desserts with Jam on

I have tried it and it's actually suprisingly scrummy!

I still make these with chopped up apple in and then we have them with golden syrup on top.

Yes that was so true, cod was only good enough for the visitors to Cleethorpes. M & S do scallops but call them something posh, they do them here in Scotland but the Scots call them fritters. Fritters to us were 2 scallops with a sandwich filling of fish or sausagemeat then battered & fried.

I so love remembering all this although I am very happy in Glasgow.

We used to get asked for "fish patties" which were as you described.

Have you had any deep fried haggis lol!! very rich

DH was working in Glasgow other year "pathead" I think and the chippy was selling deep fried marsbars and cream eggs

He also used to say that they threw back the pollack, whiting and all those fish which are now used alot as there was no money in it.

I will go down Riby street (off Cleethorpe Road)where the fish merchant shops are and buy fish, but its not like it used to be years ago.

"Wynsors world of shoes", just up the road from Lidl, which is also on Market Hotel roundabout.

That's right . My mum and dad live opposite.

My first sight and taste of 'proper' cheesecake was from Jackson Grandways (now Lidl), I was fascinated by the taste of it. Until then it was the packet mixes which were ok, but tasted of lots of lovely chemicals!

I remeber when really young going to Boston shopping and we used to go to Hillards and Grandways, they were then like the Sainsburys and Waitrose.

We only had a Co-op in Spalding for ages then got a small Tesco and FineFare which became Somerfield.

Fluff - quick recipe - my aunt made this when I was a kid and I used to make it for my 2
make up a jelly with half the quantity of water, when nearly set whip in a previously whipped up can of carnation milk. Voila! I love strawberry

I'm pretty sure that's how my mum made it too. My mum only made pink, but my aunt used to make pale green fluff, with co-ordinating green jelly. She also used to ice biscuits with blue icing! I'd never eat them because I used to think she'd made it was Daz (cos that was blue at the time), and I always imagined it would taste soapy.

I was born in the 60's too so only have a vague memory of what was eaten then.One of my favourites (which I still have today) was spam fritters They were mentioned earlier on in the thread,hardly anyone has heard of these where I live! We also love the yorkie puds with jam in !

I used to work in Lawsons department store which had a really nice foodhall. That was my first taste of real cheesecake. That flipping store really spoilt me for nice expensive food. It was like Grace Brothers. The staff were not allowed to use the lift!!

We sold these in the chippy as well. Would often have one in a bun as my lunch,with curry sauce to dip into.
