To like bread and butter

Ohhhh yes! Mmmmmm......

I used to have bread and lard with sugar on it.

My DGM used to make me 'sugar butties' with butter, (or it could have been margarine as it was just after the war).

I can't remember DGM at all, but I can remember the crunch as I ate the sugar butties.

Although I am 92 I still make my own bread, sometimes I add seeds, nuts, or dried fruit and eat it fresh with butter or homemade jam. A little of what you fancy does you good!!

Obviously it does Bijou
Well done!

Bijou, your bread sounds fantastic.

I remember sugar sandwiches (this was in London, so we had not heard of 'butties). We also had dripping (from the meat) on toast. If we ate an apple before bed my mother would say we didn't need to clean our teeth as the apple would have cleaned them for us. My, however did we grow up healthy?!!

I remember those sugar sandwiches. Demerara sugar.

I might do a taste testing tomorrow. White granulated, white caster, Demerara, or dark brown. Could be very enjoyable.

Demerara sugar
Bijou that sounds posh (and a bit more healthy)

White granulated at my DGM's

I prefer honey now

For felice and all bread and butter afficionados (is that the right word?)

I Like Bread and Butter

feetle ohh sounds good

jingle the highlight of our week, (but probably not weekly as we didn't have a joint of meat every week when we were small money wouldn't stretch to it, and when it did my Mum had to hide the joint before my Father came home from the club on a Saturday night or he would have been into it). was uncut bread with dripping from the joint, not the same now in fact you don't get dripping these days.

I too ate sugar sandwiches (on Mother's Pride bread) as a youngster. (I may even admit to eating one more recently!! However my favourite treat was toast spread with bacon dripping! My mum used to keep a small white bowl in the fridge, and every time she cooked bacon, she'd add the fat to the bowl!
My DH doesn't eat marg or butter at all - he missed out on these treats!

Felice - did you really mean you are cooking for 200 next Sunday or was that a typo? I had sleepless nights before cooking for 7 last Sunday! Hope it goes well. Enjoy your b& b as often as you want!

Yes, felice mentioned on another thread that she is cooking for 200 people!!

Felice you could always give them lots of lovely different breads and various types of butter

I remember eating bread and butter with ice cream at a friends house while watching the coronation on their tv.

Would love to do just bread and butter, unfortunately we have so many Intolerances that half of them would not get anything.
When we host this event again in 7 years thae are getting glasses of water and i will be on holiday !!!!!!

hope it goes well

I hope so too, the lady helping me teaches home Economics so between us we have plenty of experience.

We are getting donations from the congregation of Quiches and desserts, so doing lots of tasty salads, roasted veg, salmon mousse, really easy recipe, dips, etc.
Also using some of the tasty suggestions from here.
If I remember i will take some photos and post them.

I have an M&S ready meal in the freezer for myself for Sunday evening,,,lol.

Buppy brought back memories. My lovely Grampy called it that.

I remember when I was a student nurse, back in the early 'sixties. The Doctors and Ward Sisters had butter for their bread, but we students had to make do with dripping! We didn't complain, tho - it was absolutely delicious, with all the tasty meat jelly and brown roasty bits stirred in. You can't get that sort of thing now - the Health Police banned it years ago!

I also remember condensed milk sandwiches, sickly sweet but delicious!

We had white sugar sandwiches too. And dripping on toast - we sprinkled salt on it just for a really healthy treat!

Also had porridge with condensed milk poured over it in a lovely whirly pattern - yum.

Got that song in my head now Rosequartz!

Hi Felice

What on earth is "artisan" bread?

It's what the posh bakers here called the lovely homemade bread baked fresh on the premises every morning.
The normal corner shop bakers which we are lucky enough still to have also do lovely different breads.
The thing is you have to eat it the same day, no preservatives allowed.
SIL had bought the bread I had from a very posh bakers/pattisserie.
