Old-fashioned food

I think you probably can still get them, but I haven't had rollmops, salad and home made salad dressing since I was a child. It was one of my favourite summer lunches. Why haven't I ever made them?

Oh I know another - bread, butter hot milk and sugar for breakfast - delicious!

Jellied veal was a family favorite with salad, Brawn and breakfast sausage are two others that you don't see now.

Haslet, and potted meat.

I can remember making brawn once from half a pigs head - there wasn't much flavour as far as I can remember - probably not enough seasoning or spicec etc

I can still get great jellied veal from a local butcher it's one of my favourite sandwiches. I always made milk jelly for my DD when she was a child we still both like it so I make it when she comes to visit. My auntie made home made brawn she was a fabulous cook and never bought what she could make herself. I made stuffed hearts as a meal often years ago you don't see that much anymore.

Oh yes hearts and also kidneys. I think we used to eat offal because it was generally cheaper than other cuts of meat. Never had brains though.

Hilda- we have rollmops and salad regularly its a lovely summer meal. M&S do lovely rollmops fyi

One of my favorite meals includes Baked herring, I still do them the way my Nana did when i was a child in the North East, the skin has to be really crispy with a squeeze of lemon juice, delicious.

Our butcher sells potted meat and haslet (or haselet if you are from round here!) I made stuffed heart once!!

I love rollmops - Ikea do some nice ones!!

You can get rollmops just about everywhere. I can't say that I miss any of the things listed. I have never had junket. You don't seem to get tapioca ( and a good thing too!)

Haslet(t) - very tasty! Occasionally available here from a Farm Butcher.
I used to make stuffed heart, also a ragout of heart - it was a wonderful dense meat with great flavour.
@whitewave - another name for brawn was 'head cheese'. When I lived in Cornwall we could get half a roasted pig's head from a nearby café - is there anything tastier then a pig's cheek?

I made brawn once. The pigs head sat in my jam pan and I swear the eyes followed me around the kitchen as it simmered! I persevered and made the brawn and it sat in the jellied stock. I couldn't eat it. However, the cat really enjoyed it.

Other foods - stuffed lambs hearts and stuffed breast of lamb (still do that occasionally). Never trotters or brains, rarely oxtail. I remember getting pig's chaps - I think this was cured pig's cheek. Very good too.

There were lots of things I liked until I heard what they were made of eg brawn, potted haugh and even black pudding! My grandparents always tried to make us eat fat despite our choking on the disgusting stuff. Luckily my Dad put his foot down and saved us from that 'treat'. Similarly for tripe. Phew.

I remember going home from Brownies (I must have been about seven) and seeing Dad eating a plate of tripe and onions. I thought, What the heck is that?

Thankfully it was regarded as a luxury for the man of the house so I was more than happy to slum it with cheese on toast.

I buy haslet in Tesco DH loves it. I made casserole with hearts quiet often years ago. Never eaten brains though or cod roe [yuck] potted shrimps or jellied eels anyone?

Yes I'm from jellied eel country. At every party or wedding and funerals come to think of it there would be large bowl (an enamel washing up bowls usually) of jellied ells and two more of shrimps and winkles- vile all of it. I was considered stuck up because I don't like things like that or cold offal based things. I now live in pork pie country and I cannot stand the great fatty lumps of pig and heaven knows what encased in solid lardy pastry. I quite like Red Leicester Cheese and Lincolnshire Poacher and a lovely slice of hard cheese on top of fruit cake - I was shown that in the Yorkshire Dales when I lived there and I loved that but I prefer caved aged Cheddar to Wensleydale which can be a slightly bitter- Swaledale is much nicer.

Mum has now gone home and there is enough cream left for bread jam and cream yum!

My Dad used to have sprats. He was the only one in the family who could face the little eyes staring!
A favourite with us all was apple pasty baked with a topping of grated mature cheddar, delicious!
My mother was a farmer's daughter, so routinely cooked brawn, brains, Bath Chap, tongue, testicles, trotters, tripe and chitterlings (intestines) amongst other disgusting offerings! Not much of the animal was wasted!

I have just made mince and crispy dumplings, proper mushy peas and mashed potatoes for my DH, I had salad

newist our DH's sound like brothers... mines favourite is sausages mash and processed peas...

Evaporated milk on tinned fruit- always the sweet for tea at my gran's house. Home made Yorkshire Curd Cheesecake, my gran made it without a recipe. I've tried but can't get it right.

I'd of been one skinny kid if I'd been raised with you guys!

I used to like haslet in a sandwich with brown sauce. Junket is the most vile thing known to man - slimy and revolting ! ( Blaaaah emoticon) Roll mops were very popular when I was a student, they were served up at all our parties along with the cheese and pineapple.
