'Uncool' foods

How about Mock Chicken?

When I was 12, I used to collect the empty beer glasses at the Trots at the showground on Saturday afternoons for 5 shillings.

The small cafeteria would supply afternoon tea for the comittee members which included delicious sausage rolls and sandwiches including mock chicken ones, and when the members left, there would often be plenty of leftovers which I happily “disposed” of whilst collecting any empty beer glasses.

The mock chicken sandwiches were the most delicious thing I had ever eaten at that age.

I tried to make some a few years ago but they were nowhere as nice.

I did hear that if you forget about the tin of condensed milk boiling on the stove, the saucepan boils dry, the can bursts and the resulting overcooked caramel gets plastered right across your pristine ceiling.

Yuk! My mother always pierced the lid (2 small piercings) presumably to avoid explosion.
