It was the end of a weekend of tenting and all that was left to eat was.............
a Branston pickle banana sandwich.
Now its my favourite snack.
Not a green banana though, an old one is best.

Being the youngest of four childeren, with siblings that would dump anything they didn't want on my plate, and a mother that didn't let you leave the table until your plate was clean, I learned to eat just about anything together!

Branson Pickle Banana sounds very normal. When allowed I like to add various fruit into a side salad (but not banana).
One that comes to mind - Adding honey to the pan when sautéing Mushrooms gives a nice extra sweetness to them

Used to like tinned fruit sandwiches with custard for dipping into when I was a kid.

Aye Luxury !

When I were a lad...
Tinned peaches and evaporated milk !

 

[Clunegapyears]

Tinned peaches and evaporated milk. - oh yes

How about crunchy peanut butter and honey on brown bread. Drippingly, teeth stickingly unctuous.

Porridge sandwiches

Not to odd but I like both my apple pie and custard cold rather than hot.

At my school you could have custard either hot or cold. Hot you got the level ladel-full (being liquid) but when cold it was so solid you could recreate the scene from close encounters, using custard instead of mash. Yum yum

Fried sliced black pudding with a liberal application of Golden syrup, my dad’s favourite.

Dave's​ treat ( doesnt get many, poor man!) is bacon sandwich with marmalade, mine is apple pie and cheddar or fruit cake and cheddar!

Fancied a sweet treat last night so had Frosties, grapes and cold ambrosia rice. Have to say it was gorgeous, much prefer ambrosia rice cold.

My daughter when young used to have sardine and jam sandwiches. She ate them so who was I to say she couldn’t have them lol

One of the nicest pies I ever made was apple topped with cheese then the pastry on, finished with a good sprinkle of granulated sugar.

I don't dislike crisp sandwiches, but my favourite is cold corned beef on bread and butter then filled with red hot chips. You get the contrast of hot and cold, but the chips melt the butter.

Oh, I forgot mucky fat sarnies with salt sprinkled on. A rare treat nowadays.

That reminds me when I got some chips from a seaside van and picked up the sugar shaker instead of the salt ....





Chips with sugar on top is actually pretty nice. . I've added sugar a few times since

That's a very Yorkshire and Lancashire combination.
Even better with a crumbly Wensleydale.

Yorkshire pudding, filled with beef gravy..and a goodly blob of blackcurrant jam.

Put 't oven Muther !

Paradise:

Mucky dripping and Marmite..on a toasted Pikelet...( Somehow different to a crumpet?).

You've obviously had a proper upbringing, Sue.

Our special treat , as kids,was Mother's Pride sandwiches with cocoa powder and sugar.

So special, that we only got them when the housekeeping money had run out and we were hiding from the knock of the " Provident Man ".

toasted Pikelet

Toasted Pikelet ? A baby pike ?

Thanks to google, a thin kind of crumpet.

We often get asked what the difference is between a pikelet and a crumpet, so here is a quick explanation.

Essentially, the main difference is that a pikelet is not cooked in a ring like a crumpet, hence why it is thinner and more freeform in shape.



Crumpets were originally hard, it was not until the Victorian era that they became soft and spongy as we know them today. The characteristic holes are developed by adding extra baking powder to the yeast dough and fermentation can improve the flavour.

The pikelet is believed to be of Welsh origin where it was known as ‘bara piglydd’, later anglicised as pikelet. It is often called the ‘poor man’s crumpet’ as it was made by those who could not afford rings to make crumpets and so would drop the batter freely into the pan.

Both are generally round and with small pockets in them, but as crumpets are made in rings, they can be made into any shape by simply changing the shape of the ring, you'll find squares, bunny shapes, teddy shapes etc. With a Pikelet this is not possible as there is no ring.

Both pikelets and crumpets use a similar set of ingredients, but at Village Bakery our team have perfected each recipe to suit the product. Each has a different fermentation time and crumpets are allowed longer to bake, we also add sourdough to our crumpets for fuller flavour.

Today, both pikelets and crumpets are used in many ways beyond the traditional breakfast snack such as a smoked salmon pikelet appetizer or a cheese and tomato grilled crumpet.
