It seems to me that food was more tasty back then, or is it just a memory? If I remember rightly, I liked my nans Christmas pudding. I'd love to make an old fashioned one this year. Even if I hate it now, hubby would enjoy it.
I can remember when sweets/candy came off of rationing. My nan, my mothers mum, gave us silver thruppenny*** bits to spend to celebrate this momentous event. But I don't ever remember handing over ration books to buy the sweets, from Mr. Green in the news agents. Maybe my mother did and I just don't remember it.
I can remember wanting to play with the rabbits my mother raised in the early 50's. LOL Now I know why she didn't let me play with them or the chickens. I sort of shudder to think that I ate those cute bunnies. Umm can't eat rabbit since my son was a young lad and had a very fluffy white rabbit called Flo. Hubby loves it baked but somehow I always over cook it. Maybe this cook book will tell me how to roast it properly. I think I would/might/maybe try it if I made rabbit stew, too many bones said hubby. Then again maybe I wouldn't LOL.
We also ordered"How to Recognise and Pick Mushrooms. I looove mushrooms, but would I be brave enough to eat them if we picked them? That is the question. Maybe have hubby try them first, giggle. I really want to try Chicken of the Woods. It grows in trees and hubby know where one was growing. But me being the coward I am wouldn't let him pick it until we can have a better picture in our hand.
Chicken of the Woods mushroom.
***Getting old, can't remember how to spell that now.
