What! No Choc McFlurry ! Seriously though, Grace, if you had been a war baby or just after, the foods us oldies have mentioned, were to many, a treat. I ate raw carrot when young, also was told leave nothing on the plate or else you may well have at the next meal. I was one of the lucky ones regarding best of butcher meat, with my dad being in that trade. Trust me a bacon dripping sarnie was heaven, but yes quality frying steak was the in thing in the early 50's.
For many a small piece of brisket was the sunday dinner, not topside or silverside as is the norm today. Supermarkets changed many eating habits, some for and many against good eating IMHO.
Would I eat a bacon dripping sarnie now? Nope I prefer a bacon n black pudding roll instead !
