You buy what you can afford, cook it slowly and waste nothing.
Many pensioners grew up in this kind of environment, and through no fault of their own, are back there again.

I can see a time coming where proper home cooking makes a return to form and reconstituted rubbish from the likes of McDonalds is eschewed in favour of proper meat. Home cooking is also a damn sight cheaper.

Those of us in terraced areas only need take a glance at the chimney stacks in winter to realise that solid fuel fires are making a comeback. This is partially to do with the fact that they're far more homely than a gas fire but I suspect (as is the case in the drawing room at Rishton Towers) there is an element of prudence in there as well.

My fuel bills have dropped dramatically since the switch to smokeless fuel.

I have to say that I am one of the old school when it comes to cooking. I make meals from scratch using fresh ingredients where possible...though I do resort to some frozen veg at times......I use up left-overs.....but I won't go back to coal fires.
They are hard work......all that riddling and poking...and fetching buckets of coal down the backyard in the cold and rain isn't my bag at all.

I'm with you on the frozen veg. There's hardly any difference nowadays and it is much quicker and simpler.

I buy all the cuts of meat from the butchers that no one else wants (such as breast of lamb) and as an upshot get some cracking deals. It wouldn't surprise me to see cuts of mutton reappearing in years to come.

As far as coal fires are concerned, I have a stove which is great for slow cooking casseroles, soups and broths and much easier to look after than an open fire. The heat is also much more even, although can get infernally hot even in deepest winter!

At one time only if you asked the butcher. Now it seems that the way things are cheaper cuts and "oddities" are wanted.

Oh come on Mancie it was a bit of tongue in cheek humour.
