Excellent stuff, Robbo

Wonder how many of the Health foods would still be considered that now

Robbo, I'm so glad you posted all these after tea-time. It's still making my tummy rumble a bit. Hmmm... so many goodies to choose from. They could've sprung straight from the pages of one of Mrs Beeton's cookbooks.

ASSORTED SCONES....[a choice from]
Sultana, Lemon, Currant, Wholemeal, Soda and Potatoe!


I also liked:

"Pre War Strength Scotch Whiskey"

"Hayward's Military Pickles"

"Potatoe scraping gloves"



Well done Robbo, great stuff.

Looks like Ged, Robbo's a lot older than she's making out in her photo?

[Ged]

Sure is. I bet you don't eat seaweed neither.

[dazza]

"Seaweed" Nope.

When I used to come home on leave my Mum used to get Canadian corn cured bacon from Coopers so that I could have it with two eggs for breakfast, it was bloody marvellous. I loved the aromas in Coopers,ground coffee ,smoked ham, strong cheeses and all the other spicy things,combined to create a bouqet that would have your olfactory senses going into overdrive,thanks for the memory Robbo,
