However the question is - Is homogenised or pasteurised milk best for the cup of tea? Newsflash: most milk currently available is both pasteurised and homogenised. Yars ago I was visiting rellys in Ballina, Co. Mayo. They had a dairy farm. I was offered natural milk straight from the beast. Nearly threw up. Yuk yuk yuk. Pasteurised for me thanks. I recall gold top, silver top etc but not that I lament its passing. When I was a kid (no not a baby goat...) we always had silver topped delivered. When I got home from my paper round I'd carry the bottles in and pour the cream top off on to my frosties. Used to blame it on the birds. Got away with it for years.

We were too poor for Frosties but used to have the "top of the milk" on a banana mashed with sugar (just the thought of it now makes me feel really ill but I think then it was heavenly!) .. no obesity crisis in those days, though!!!

You had "top of the milk" on a banana mashed with sugar? Luxury. We used to consider ourselves lucky if we had a raw potato.

My mother didn't hold with cornflakes let alone the even more evil Frosties. But we were allowed Weetabix. This turns to a concrete-like substance if you pour hot milk on it.

I always wait for the milk to soften Shredded wheat. No good until this is accomplished.

Any one else remember a full bacon slice with rind on? Yummie! A Sunday morning treat.

After my Dad gave up working on the farm (at townie Mother's insistence) he worked as a truck/lorry driver for a coal and fruit & veg merchant so although his wages were poor we enjoyed a few perks. I can still remember sitting on our back door step with the juice of a peach nearly as big as me pouring down my 3 year old chin ....

We had 5 lavatories including 2 outhouses.
Terrible really.
Fresh hen eggs, goose killed by the mum and enough bog rolls to feed an army.
Self sufficiency. Big thing in the 70s among the well heeled hippy types.
OK do you don't go to t'shop then?
What you gonna wipe your arse with given the water shortage?
Sphagnum moss Schfagnum moss what you really need is bog rolls from the JLP supermarket stores now called Waitrose.

One doesn't need sugar laden fizzy drinks in the first place, do without. We have hardly any extra sugar in anything. The populace are led by the nose to consume crap, Ultra Processed Foods etc, then the NHS has to pick up the tab. The number of chubby waddling kids and adults I see around, it's awful for the poor buggers. Feeding kids so they are overweight is child abuse. KFC is pure chicken and the chips are just healthy potatoes. Methinks thou doth protest to much! Where's your greens? How is it with the piles and lack of libido, etc, Chubby? learntoeatwell.wordpress.com/2021/05/31/ultra-processed-food/The queues at drive-through McDonaldβs, KFC and the like are a depressing sign of junkβs enduring allure and a lack of awareness of how damaging to health junk really is. What did Chris suffer when he tried a processed-food diet? Weight gain of 6.5kg β thatβs a stone!!! 30% increase in the hormone that makes you hungry decrease in the hormone that tells you youβre full Bad sleep Heartburn No libido Constipation Piles Low mood Sluggishness Aches and pains Anxiety Felt 10 years older And this was after only 4 weeks.

Yes, it's shocking. Everyone knows that potatoes should ALWAYS be fried in beef dripping.Β They sure taste better that way, but you have to go a long way north these days to find a chippy that still uses it. Skipton. There was Grandma Pollard's in Walsden near us, now closed.
