Mid 50's - My father would come home from work and cut a thick slice of
bread from the square tin loaf and spread liberally with dripping, then
thinly slice a home grown onion and season with salt and pepper and enjoy -
then kiss all the children - who went ooooooh onions.
We were also not allowed to have bread with butter, jam and cream, it had to
be butter and jam or jam and cream. Fun remembering isn't it??????????
