Re: Food in the 50's
Today cos it was cold I decided to treat myself to Haddock and chips with mushy peas at a local chip shop not a million miles from the worthy BBs residence. While in said shop a local of advancing years walking a dog popped his head round the corner and asked for a bag of well done chips and some batters on. These I surmised must be the bits that Mr BB favours asked for in the local black country language, am I correct or are they another thing entirely.
Hi interested in the area served by 52D. also researching colliery wagonways from same area.

Re: Food in the 50's
Not a food of days gone by, but over here I`d kill for a Pukka Pie. Whenever I`m back over in the UK one of my first missions is to get up to the chippy and have Mince and Onion Pukka Pie. I`ve even gone to the length of e-mailing the company to start exporting to Canada. There`s a sizeable expat population here and there`s no local product that even comes close. They do export around the world, but not here.
Time to rattle their cage again, I think.

Ay up!
Best pies I know of are from our local butcher, Bridgewaters on the Penn Road. Plenty of meat, plenty of gravy and lovely shortcrust pastry.
Wi' some mash, peas, carrots and gravy. Yum!

Yes, I am quite partial to that as well, but it would appear that certain citizens of Norfolk need to re-assess their ideas on what makes a proper liver and bacon.
I was taken to a cafe by my father last year, because he likes their cooking. The special that day just happened to be liver and bacon, so I ordered that. What I actually got was liver in gravy with two rashers of grilled bacon on top.
Now forgive me for being pedantic, but I thought that the whole idea was to cook the onions, liver, bacon, all together?

I stir fry the onions, liver, and bacon together....I sometimes get calves liver from a local butcher (I only tried supermarket calves liver once...never again) and that is fantastic, but expensive.
