I have just had the most delicious snack

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

We had weetabix with butter and jam on top.

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

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

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.

Can't imagine. Most odd.

Jings ,why has Gransnet become obsessed with food?

And we survived!!!

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

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

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

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.

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!

Sugar sandwiches! Now you're talking!!!

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

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

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.

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!
