That is another yes. We were given them at teatime when rations were very low, which was quite often.

Yep post WWll when food was still in short supply you would eat what ever you could get your hands on, another staple was Dripping sandwiches or dripping on toast the jelly at the bottom of the dripping pot was the best.

Oh yes - dripping on a big chunk of bread.. first the fat smeared over the bread (instead of butter or marg), then the jelly sliced or chopped on top, and a sprinkle of salt. I still did that every Christmas with the turkey drippings right up until last year (I remember being horrified that Canadians tend to throw that gorgeous stuff away)!
(the jelly, reduced, makes the best stock too - simmer, freeze in cubes)

Good lad, the green stuff is excellent for you! Your body's bound to be a bit cranky at a radical change of diet, but I promise you it will settle down. In the meantime you can blame any farts on Charlee

I had a wrap with spicy falafel, loaded with veggies and tzatziki, and 2 pieces of incredibly good baklava.

I'm calling it a late lunch; guacamole and toast and a few drinks. I harboured 2 big avocados for 10 days after getting them from an unused band rider, until they were the right consistency, and threw it together this morning like it was second nature. A handful of chopped cilantro, diced red onion, garlic, jalapeno, tomato, juice of 1 lime, sea salt, and the avocados. Not too much or too little of anything.

Spam Bacon (very nice once in a while), baked beans, toast, mushrooms, egg. What a medley of flavours.

Fried or microwaved works. Doesn't need oil, it's more a case of searing it in the pan.

Just realised...you probably thought I meant spam and bacon as opposed to bacon spam.

No, I thought there was only one kind of Spam, and by frying it, it became Spam bacon. Aren't you a bit young to be having Spam, I thought it's only for senior seniors ?!
