Toast with butter and sugar and other 'treats'

Yes we grew rhubarb in back gardens& so did the neighbours, their kids would eat it raw dipped in sugar as a 'treat' (big family) but i only tried it once, never again.(i still am not keen on rhubarb, even cooked)?

My mum put cocoa& marg mixed up in cup which i think we dipped things in?? But i could not have that now- urgh! Also, whenever we went round to my grans, she would tell mum to give me some 'pobs' - small lumps of bread in a cup of warm-ish milk- but she only used sterilized milk so it was horrible! Ive never touched sterilized milk since.Nasty stuff.

Moggycuddler raw rhubarb!

And that was a treat?!! Raw rhubarb? But now, I'd rather have that than a raw sausage!

I remember my Mum would have (after spag bol) spaghetti with butter and sugar on for pudding... i never tried it but often think i might one day, just for a memory of her.

We have buttered toast with cinnamon sugar.
It’s also on the menu at Bettys Tearooms in Harrogate North Yorkshire.

I'm getting very hungry reading all these posts. I think I'll try cinnamon toast!

Sandwich of cream cheese, honey and sliced banana - bliss! And at secondary school, fresh warm doughnuts from the baker across the road, 3d if I remember rightly, or a Chelsea bun for 2 and a half d (can’t manage fractions on the ipad).

Calendar37 you just reminded ne my mum used to slice a Mars bar between us seven siblings. We also got jam on rice pudding. We still have stewed apples and custard. I made it for OH and he loves it. although sometimes we have it with yoghurt.
Dipping rhubarb was raw.

Bacon fat on bread, hot, greasy, salty, it was delicious. I wouldn't eat it now though. Still like banana sandwiches. I also remember, when we had a salad, the lettuce always had sugar and vinegar sprinkled over it, and the cucumber had to have the skin cut off because it tasted so bitter.

Cinnamon toast was my treat, too.

It was soft brown sugar on bread that I got when I came in from school. I loved it. I was as skinny as a rake too. Wish I could say the same now!

Mine was cinnamon mixed with sugar and sprinkled on buttered toast

Syrup and clotted cream sandwiches, loved it then but wouldn’t touch it now! Banana and sugar sandwiches as well as lettuce and sugar sarnies. My Nan also used to boil full fat milk then take the cream from the top to put on my cornflakes! I have also made jelly and condensed milk dessert for my DGC and they loved it.

Moggycuddler raw rhubarb!

For me, a jam buttie, I loved them. Did have the rhubarb with sugar to dip it in. My Nain gave me a delicious crust of bread while I walked with M & D to the beach in Llandudno - a flaming seagull swooped down and nicked it!! I've never forgiven seagulls for that!

Was the rhubarb dipped in sugar cooked or raw?? My mum used to give me a raw sausage as a treat when she'd been to the butchers. I remember sucking the soft pink raw sausage meat out of the skin. I loved it then. But now - I'm a vegetarian of 25 years!

One summer (1969) I was looking after children from poor families on holiday on a Dutch Island. Breakfast was bread with butter and sugar, or chocolate sprinkles, children loved it.
I think that was the year Eddie Merx won the Tour de France, covered on tv everywhere.

Sandwichgeneration and Flakesdayout I seem to remember that a butter ball with sugar was a 'cure' for a sore throat? I'm glad I started this thread as it's been really interesting.

My grandad used to have his Yorkshire puddings for dessert with sugar on - maybe a Welsh thing?! ... And my Nan would always make us fried bread from dripping!

My oh still likes Yorkshire pudding dipped in sugar we are Yorkshire bred .
We used to have mucky fat on bread sprinkled with salt still eaten now.
We used to have rhubarb dipped in sugar and powdered horlicks in a cone so we could dip our finger in .
My stepdad used to take kit- Kat in bread and butter for his snap at work.

When I went to my friend's birthday parties her mum put hundreds and thousands on buttered bread and I remember my dad having sugar on butter too.
I loved jelly with evaporated milk whisked in it and left to set, Jelly Fluff my mum called it. I have made it through lockdown and it took my back, it was lovely. I scrape the cake mixing bowl too lol.

Oh Winterwhite - I remember so well a precious Mars Bar being carefully sliced by my Mother who always said it had to last for the week. (My grandchildren never believed me when I told them). Stewed apples and custard were regarded as another treat - especially the custard. And a teaspoonful of jam, usually homemade, looking lost on top of a small dish of rice pudding!

We had white bread with butter and brown sugar or even treacle as a treat! Yummy!

I used to love beef dripping on toast at my Nan and Grandad's for Sunday tea. We used to toast the bread on the fire with a toasting fork while watching teatime TV (something like To the Manor Born or All Creatures).
It's probably the only thing I missed when I became vegetarian.
I remember Stork used to have fish oil in it. I wonder if it still does?

Hot milk on sugary bread for breakfast was an occasional winter treat instead of porridge.
I still like the "wallpaper paste" of hot milk on weetabix I discovered recently!

White bread, thick butter, white sugar; an absolute favourite treat worthy of skipping and dancing if we could get our mum to say we could have them! My favourite meal, as my mum hated cooking even though she did it with care, was her 'sausage thing'. Sausages were cheap, deskinned, with gently fried onions, tinned tomatoes and lots of Bramley apples from the tree in the garden, cooked slowly in the oven and eaten with either mash or rice. I still make it, but quick fry the sausages to colour the skins and add a splosh of cider and a spoon of mustard, sometimes some dried chilis. Yum!
