What food did your Mum make you eat when you had nowt else!!

I remember back in the 50's when my parents were really skint my Mum would try to kill us by making a meal that still makes me turn pale. Small dishes, cut up some stale cheese into them, top up with milk, crack an egg on top, salt and pepper then into the oven. Wait until the egg had turned to a piece of plastic then serve!!! It was a killer but it was that or nothing. Spare a thought for me Dad, he had to eat 2!!! Anybody else have this if so what was it called besides orride!!!

That is the famous 'cheese and egg'
Obviously she didn't do it right - needs to be baked 'on a tin plate'

During rationing in the 40s our main meal was often
a lettuce leaf and a tomato - but then such items really tasted good
- not like a wet hankie and a ball of mush.

It wasnt my mum who made it was my dad ... dad could make 3 things ... a fry up (brilliant), fish (id eat the batter) or mash with boiled eggs in the middle ... and i hated it. Mum had to go to northern ireland and left me and my brother with my dad .. 1 sis was married and away and the other was at manchester polytechnic ... and she was away for 2 weeks ... and for 5 days dad made mash and eggs for tea ... never eaten a boiled egg since ..... and that was when i was 12!!!!

We had to eat whatever was put in front of us......the alternative was to go to bed hungry.
I went to bed hungry when it was kippers. sardines, pilchards.......and I drew the line at eating rabbit and hare.

I,d have died for egg and cheese when I was little. We had pobs for breakfast most days and I hated them. I do make egg and cheese for myself now that I,m "rich".

My Nana used to make bacon hotpot. It still makes me want to throw up all those years later. I had to sit at the table until I'd finished it and of course it was worse when it was cold and congealed. Thankfully the dog quite liked it and I would sneak as much as I could to him!
