What were you raised on?

[AdeptHelper]

Footbalo

Confession on a Saturday, Mass on Sunday then misbehaving the rest of the week.

Lamb chops and passive aggression

Fear

Pets and potatoes

The written word.

Reference books (at a minimum we usually had Brewer’s Phrase and Fable and a dictionary out at the dinner table), nonfiction, novels, letters (especially writing thank you letters, but also regular family letters), newspapers, magazines, textbooks, holiday diaries, postcards, hundreds of Christmas cards.

Catholicism, violence, neglect and fresh sea air.

Home cooked dinners everyday and Mum's baking. She did pastry on Tuesdays and cakes on Fridays.

Funerals, football, allll the genres of music, fun and love.

Beef dripping spread on white bread

Literary quotes, dancing and freedom

Fun, fresh air and shouting

Books.

Mince

toast and marmite

Books, tinned roe, instant whip, Corona pop.

Eccles cakes, viscount biscuits & coffee before bed from age 4 (seriously🙈, my mum made it milky and thought it was healthier than hot chocolate).

Socialism, allotments and lentils

WOW kwick save was our weekly treat to buy those icecream pots in a pack of 10... and them crisp things that were in little crispy bits 👌
Edited to add also remember the fridge section with the wafting plastic bits... thinking u live close by now 😁

Judgement and condemnation

Books, football and Grandma's pineapple upside down cake

No money but lots of love and laughter

I wasn’t ‘raised’ as I’m from the UK. We were ‘brought up’.

Tea, cake, bubble baths and guilt.

Sandy fish paste sandwiches on the beach, melted ice cream and a huge amount of freedom

Soup and criticism
