Hi Vanessa 
I well remember having dripping butties as we call it in the north. My mam used 
to do it quite a lot with the meat, and make the gravy from the fat of the meat 
and preserve what she didn't use. No, I think the doctors would throw scorn on 
dripping on bread. There wasn't much wasted when I was a kid as there were 
twelve of us, so we couldn't pick and choose what we had for meals. I think Dad 
grew some of his vegetables, and Mam and some of my brothers used to go down to 
a local farm and in the summer time pick peas and in the autumn pick potatoes. 
That was way back in the sixties. 
Well, I've given my age away, but it is interesting to know whether other 
people still remember the way we lived in those bygone days.
