Diabetes Support Forum, Advent Calendar 2015

[Northerner]

As is traditional, it's time to start opening the doors on this year's Advent Calendar! 🙂 This year's theme is 'A Healthy Diet for All', so I hope you'll enjoy the delectable dishes being served up to human beings under the guise of 'food' 😱

December 1st, Bread and Dripping - preferably with a liberal sprinkling of life-giving salt! 🙂 A treat for us as children in the 1960s 😱

I loved the gooey meaty bit at the bottom of the dripping pot 🙂

I always remember having toast and dripping when I was a kid, late 70's - early 80's. Wouldn't dream of having that now!

Thanks for the salivation Northerner!

 

[Bessiemay]

Yuk I'll just have the bread please.

 

[Matt Cycle]

Luckily never had the misfortune to have this foisted upon me as a child. Just the bread for me too please.

 

[Lindarose]

Afraid a had many a school lunch bag with bread and dripping Yuk! But it was that or nothing so had to eat it 😱

 

[Caroline]

I used to like a nice bit of bread and dripping with half a pot of salt thrown on for good measure. Now I can't stand anything too fatty or salty.

 

[Northerner]

I'll warn you all now, they get much worse! 😱 😉

 

[HOBIE]

Not for me thanks. ! 😛

No, it's not just you Caroline. I remember the bread and dripping, sugar caked thick on my Weetabix, sweets from the penny tray and the pop lorry. Maybe one child in 30 was overweight. 😱 This was my class in 1965, no-one overweight!

If they get worse, I bet tripe is featuring!

I think we burnt off all the calories just keeping warm, pre central heating!
