What are you eating and drinking tonight?

[Bruce Rioja]

Good God. They don't still knock that shit out, do they?

[Wandering Willy]

Aye - no place on a food thread that stuff. Nor Carnation.

[Lord Kangana]

Porridge?

Thats just weird...

Porridge? or on Bread?

On f*cking bread!!!!

I would have thought that much obvious.

We need, nay deserve, a proper explanation of this behaviour.

I liked them. I was a kid. Although I would probably do it again.

Gastronomic connoisseur? C'est moi.

To be fair, back when GtE was a kid he didn't have much choice of food. If he wanted a steak he had to go find it and club it to death...

Come on. If you've never tried carnation with arctic roll then you sir, have never lived. Taste sensation!

arctic roll with carnation????????

I think this thread will now die a long and slow death!!

[Burnden Paddock]

I don't like yoghurt. So that's a shitter.

And I have more self respect than eating spoons of sugar...

As a youngster sugar buttys, as well as porridge buttys, were de rigeur.

Bloody hell. I thought it was just me that ate those as a kid. You can add mashed potato to that list and as TD says black treacle and syrup on bread. There's something wrong with me, isn't there?

Don't knock it until you've tried it.

i never went for sugar butties - but they were pretty widespread - nowt odd about those... but I DID have the mashed potato butties... the butter melted into the potato - glorious!!

porridge butties are just lunacy!

Despite all the technology on everything, mashed potatoes today just don't seem compare with the old methd of just pouring milk on newly boiled spuds, mashing them up and putting a dollop pf butter in top. Maybe it's the potatoes, don't know, but that taste back then was to die for. Add peas shelled out of pea-swods and a lamb chop grilled with bit of lard and few things could beat it. Ahhhhhhhhh.....

TD what alternative method do people use to make mash nowadays? Pretty much the milk, mash, butter method, is basically all there is surely?

[Bruce Rioja]

Think Tango's saying that potatoes don't taste like they did when he was a boy.

Did say it might just be the potatoes, but I was talking about just mashing them with a fork on your plate ( squashing then, if you will) and pouring the milk on top and adding a knob of butter, rather than just making splodge dollops of them, a la Smash packet stuff etc. Then again, at cooking my mother was more blacksmith than Delia Smith.

I possibly am Bruce. Then again, lots of things dont, like ice-cream etc. A disturbing fact emerged to me lately: I was born just ten years after Wyatt Earp died. It's the truth.

So you're not Eric Clapton then.

My bezzy mate has a phrase "potatoes that taste of potato". Our kid gave me some that he'd grown on his small holding last year, they were absolutely magnificent. I really despair at some of the shit that we accept as food nowadays.

Nearer Eric the Red apparently.

have grown spuds in sacks for a few years - freshly harvested - boiled and consumed with a knob of butter - there's not much to beat them - especially if accompanied by next door's freshly picked baby tomatoes (that taste and smell of tomato!)

Yum. I buy tomatoes that are still on the vine because that's as near as I can get to tomatoes that taste and smell of tomato.
