do any of you older food lovers remember with fondness the old favourite of having bread and dripping for tea, for the younger folks on here it was a cheap way to get your grease fix, dripping was the cold leftover fat from your meat cooked for the sunday roast, my mum would take the joint of meat out from the dish, use some of the hot fat to make gravy , this was before instant gravy granules, the rest of the fat was put in a dish and when it was cold and solid we used to spread it on bread for our sunday tea, you can't get proper dripping now and anyway the doctors wouldn't advise you to eat it but it was really tasty and a cheap way to save butter , what do you think kids would say to eating it now, as a family we lived in the country and used to eat rabbit and pigeon, we had very little money so nothing was wasted, we had an allotment for our vegetables and potatoes so was always helping to do the digging and weeding, also had to help peel and prepare the food so got used to eating all sorts and leaving nothing on the plate, my kids were bought up to help with all things around the house and garden so got used to my way of cooking, they got to try all sorts of recipes and as you may remember Steve and I still do all of our own meals, had to relearn how to peel and cook things in a safe way after losing my sight but it's a good sskill to have and we get the grand kids to help us when they come to stay, if you make it fun it helps them to learn for when they are older,my oldest grandson is doing catering as an exam course and he said that it is thanks to us because he helped us in the kitchen which showed him an interest, take care for now, Vanessa the Saints reporter x x
