Toast with butter and sugar and other 'treats'

Far North ?

When I was a young mum, and my own mum thought I was run down, she made me a banana sandwich with sugar in it for extra energy.
I thought it was revolting and said so. I don't remember if I ate it.

Another time she made me a build-up drink (can't remember its name) with egg and marmite mixed in to be extra-nourishing.
I did drink it all, and it quickly reappeared. ?

We had no choice, margarine was cheaper - stork. Dad got butter! Once we had Echo. Still feel sick thinking about it.

Treacle on buttered toast, dripping on toast and yes sugar on bread and marge. Surprisingly I still have all my own teeth!

I never had raw baking mix from the bowl and never let my DC have it either. I remember dripping butties and having spoonful of the beef juices from the oven tin.

We fight over the raw baking mix in our house! And raw scone mixture, love it! I’m a hopeless sweet tooth.

I sometimes like banana sandwiches with sugar on. My 10 yr old granddaughter was appalled! Never heard of a banana sandwich and couldn’t believe the sugar! And yet, they eat all those chemical laden fizzy sweets!

Judy I still like scraping the baking bowls!

Dripping on bread, raw bacon rinds, scraping the cake mix out of a bowl before it was cooked. Not sure I would eat any of this these days.

Same here Grandmabatty and Luckylegs.
And cocoa with sugar added and we used to dip our finger in just like we did with sherbert.
Is it any surprise we have fillings lol.

Banana and brown sugar sandwiches - this was a friend’s mother, can’t remember my mother giving me a treat

Sugar butties but it was not butter but Stork marg horrible stuff always liked Marmite still do. I grow rhubarb still have it raw dipped in sugar still a big kid.

Winterwhite the portions were much smaller. We had a two or three course meal every night and a quarter pound of mince did four of us two nights. It was full of veg and dumplings to fill us up!

I do recall the sugar shortage in the seventies. I was a Saturday girl in a shop and was instructed to stand by the sugar to make sure no one took more than one bag. I wasn't a great fan of hard margarine Nat. Unless it was stork for baking. Ellanvannin I wonder why mum never made chocolate spread? She used cocoa for a great chocolatey cake.

My mum made a little paper cone with sugar in it and we dipped the rhubarb.
Also bread and margarine ( not butter) with sugar.

Don't remember sugar on toast or dipping rhubarb in sugar but we were allowed to put sugar on lettuce.
There was no talk of unhealthy treats in those days. That's a modern concept that has come with much less exercise and much larger meals or rather 'portion sizes', and more eating between meals. 'Not good for you' would have been the term in our childhood and imo a better one.

Mum made chocolate spread using cocoa powder and syrup.
The kids next door had cocoa powder mixed with sugar to use as a sweet dip---like the sherbert dabs. That was nice.

Skinned and de-seeded mashed tomatoes with sugar when I was a baby--weaned of course. Mashed bananas the same. Everything had a sprinkling of sugar from what I can remember. None on toast or bread though.
Crusts were hard baked in the oven, then smothered in butter-----which is probably where I got the taste for lashings of Lurpak on my crumpets

I think,for me,it's the combination of fat and sugar that puts me off. I never have butter and jam together for the same reason. I suppose sugar and cocoa together was instead of chocolate.

I had bread and butter with sugar all pressed into the butter! Yum! We also dipped rhubarb in sugar and had cocoa and sugar in a bag as sweets. Do you wonder I’ve got a sweet tooth?
