I have just had the most delicious snack

Maybe this thread will develop into other weird, but tasty things we find in our cupboards

When I make my Christmas cake I put left over mixed fruit, candid peel and cherries into a kilner jar and cover them in sherry. By Christmas they are nicely boozy and a tablespoon over icecream makes a lovely treat dessert.

I love it when I find a stray bar of chocolate in our food cupboard, - it is a long awkward cupboard that disappears into a corner and all sorts of things get lost in it - makes the Spring sort out rewarding most times!

Marzipan - I always make sure I have a lot left over in the cupboard, then eat it till I feel physically sick. I used to do the same with Nutella, but went cold turkey and stopped buying it.

I knew who the poster was when I read title thread!! I like cheese with apricot jam; boring I know'
When I was little, used to love sugar sandwiches which probably explains a lot

Sugar sandwiches! Now you're talking!!!

I still have a strange after-taste from that mixed peel.

I love jam and cheese too grannylyn. My mum used t make us sugar sandwiches - I always thought that was because we had run out of other things. Yummy tho!

Did anyone else used to drink vinegar straight from the bottle? My mother used to say it would dry up my blood. I couldn't do that now - not now that I've progressed to the marzipan.

Sugar sandwiches were great. We used to get Cadbury's Dairy Milk between two slices of bread and butter as a treat as well.

Used to have cold Yorkshire pudding on a Monday sprinkled with sugar!

You must be a posh lot having sugar sandwiches, they were sugar butties in our house!

And we survived!!!

Jings ,why has Gransnet become obsessed with food?

Can't imagine. Most odd.

It was bread and lard in our house. Delicious it was too. Although I wasn't too keen on the scrunch. Thes days I would use caster sugar. If we were allowed such things thes days.

We had sugar butties too! I 'm from oop north... Think the ones who had sugar sandwiches must be from dahn souf..

We had shredded wheat with jam on top. A bit difficult to eat.

We had weetabix with butter and jam on top.

I still like a crisp sandwich - preferably cheese and onion.

And we had bread and dripping. Delicious. With salt on too! Food is really about memories isn't it?

I regularly used to eat a banana mashed up with a slice of bread and butter, milk and sugar, all mushed up. We called it banana mush.

Sugar sprinkled on bread! Does anyone remember singing the alphabet - when we got to z, we used to chant (not sing, this bit was monotonic):

zed, zed, sugar on your bread
if you don't like it you'll have to go to bed
wake up in the morning and have a cup of tea
then you can start your (here we began singing again) A - B - C etc.

Does anyone else remember this, or was it just our weird household?

A treat we had, not often so even better, was a sandwich filled with jam and whipped cream ... yum..
Also had the sugar sandwich, and still enjoy a crisp sarnie every now and again.
My eldest son used to love Yorkshire puds with butter and sugar, had to make extra just for that lol.
