Bread And Dripping.

[paul mann]

Can anybody remember when bread and dripping with salt was a health food?

[Vic Patterson]

Certainly can, pork dripping, it was better than a slice of dip in the bacon grease! or fried bread!

Roast Beef dripping was put in enamel mug and later spread on bread lovely

Beef for me! And didn't you just love the 'brown bits' that got caught up in the dripping and that lovely layer of jelly that collected under the dripping when it got cold.

[Vic Patterson]

We used to ask the butcher (George Shy's (sp)) in Blyth market square to make sure there was some of the brown bits in the beef lard! he made great pork sarnies!

No wonder your redecorating Keith, eating the beans much have stripped the paint off the walls.

Yeah, I decided to go for the pebble-dash ceiling effect. I Had to get the right angle and trajectory for that one though.

But getting back on theme the one thing I remember after bread and dripping on Sunday was my granny baking tarts and chocolate cakes and me an my bro would lick the batter - he would get the spoon one week and I would get the bowl, then vice versa.

PS. No more B&D - I'm veggie.

"The Lard Information Council". How much can a man, let alone a whole council, say about lard?
