Toast with butter and sugar and other 'treats'

Redhead I remember my father dipping bread in the meat juice I used to think it was disgusting. One day while berating him for doing so he said have you actually tried it. Well of course he’d thrown down the challenge which I accepted and then after tasting it and finding it absolutely delicious we used to fight to get there first.?
I don’t do it now as I’m vegan ?

We used to have condensed milk in a sandwich and pork fat with a bit of salt on a slice of bread. I loved it but I wouldn't eat it now

My grandad used to have his Yorkshire puddings for dessert with sugar on - maybe a Welsh thing?! ... And my Nan would always make us fried bread from dripping!

I'm reminded now of cinnamon toast that an American friend used to make far more recently. Did that have sugar as well? Probably.
I remember a single mars bar lasted a week, carefully cut into slices by our mother after lunch.
Most children were as thin as rakes in childhood and I think our periods maybe started later? I was a good 14 and don't think that was thought odd.

Sandwichgeneration: I remember my mum giving me butter balls coated with sugar. Could not eat them now. And I remember sugar sandwiches. I still have banana sandwiches at least once a week.

I often had sugar sandwiches for tea. And had a spoonful of Cod Liver Oil and Malt every day because I was too thin.

My father told me that when he was a child during the 1920s, he used to love butter balls coated with sugar - no bread, just the butter!

Oops butter sugar on white bread then grill.

My friends mum would put butter with sugar on top and put it under the grill or in the oven as an after school treat. Wonderful..

I loved condensed milk. We too used to have it swirled on the top of porridge, but if I could get the kitchen to myself I loved it on a heavily buttered piece of fresh bread........bliss!! Funnily enough I don’t think of it now, though I’m sure I saw toffee condensed milk, in a supermarket. I might be hallucinating, I haven’t been in a supermarket for nearly a year.

Eating raw sausages. ?‍♀️?

We actually called them sugar butty cakies. I don’t know if that was a northern name for them.

‘Sugar butties!’ was a euphemistic exclamation. I ever realised they were actually a thing!

Our treat for Sunday breakfast was soft brown sugar on hot buttered toast. We also liked potato bread lightly toasted and then spread with butter and sugar - we would roll it up into a cone shape and the hot sugary butter would trickle out.
No wonder my teeth are such a mess.

Blondiescot, I had forgotten all about the word "playpiece" for decades, but that's what my ( Scottish) mother called it. She also had a word for the biscuit we took to eat after we had been swimming in the sea or unheated pool - we called this our "chittery bite", as we ate it to stop our teeth "chittering".

blondie did you offer to swap your playpiece for hers? I quite often swapped my banana sandwich on plain bread for my friends cold toast.I do like a bit of toast buttered when hot and left to go stone cold ...even now

I used to love salt sandwiches. Sugar sandwiches, dripping on toast. My dad's favourite was ‘thunder and lightening’ only ever happened in the summer when there was home made butter and lots of it, syrup and butter mixed together! Oh reminded me....honey and marmite mixed on white bread.....

I never had a particularly sweet tooth as a child, but I can remember a classmate at primary school who regularly had sugar sandwiches for their "playpiece" - the sound of them crunching into it used to set my teeth on edge!

Paddyanne I used to go ice skating when younger and the highlight was the warm, freshly made doughnuts!

My auntie used to come for a cuppa every morning when I was around a year old.She always brought me a ring doughnut ,right up until I started school..I have to avert my eyes when I see them in a shop lovely dark sugary things that they are .
Another Auntie brought an orange every day...I dont feel the need to avoid them .Strange that .

I remember the spoonful of malt which followed castor oil to keep me regular! Some interesting treats mentioned.

Communion cocoa?

When I stayed at my granny's I got a spoonful of malt every day. Delicious. And Granda would go to the corner shop and buy me a chocolate mallow- with jam in the centre and a little bottle of orange juice. (Suki I think)

We occasionally had sugar on buttered white (never brown) bread, I wasn't mad about it, but Mum had lived through rationing so to her it was a treat.

My favourite was porridge with condensed milk swirled onto the top, so delicious. I could still eat a spoonful or two of condensed milk, preferable chilled from the fridge.

We had beef dripping from the roast, on toast and just to add to the unhealthy aspect, sprinkled with salt!! But we never ate between meals, the portions were not large, there was no convenience food, and we were very active.

We had the same as some have mentioned - sugar sandwiches, rhubarb and sugar and with our breakfast at school after Holy Communion cocoa and sugar in a paper bag. I also loved cornflake sandwiches.

I had sugar butties, cocoa mixed with sugar to dip my finger in and dipped rhubarb in to sugar too - all yummy!

We also had some sort of pancakes made with just flour and water and made into sugar sandwiches

Nad we were the same! Margarine was so much cheaper than butter.
