Cheap meals for the austerity times we live in

That sounds nice Lex. But some home-made raspberry jam on top would be the biz.

As a child I remember visiting a school friend's home at tea time and they had something similar for their tea/dinner but it was with marietta biscuits.

I was so jealous at the time. We would never have had anything so delicious for our tea/dinner!

The blaa filled with red lead ( also known as Ballybeg ham ) is your only man all washed down with a bottle of big brother - cheap & nutritious.

No need to translate , I presume ?
 
My mum was brought up on sugar sandwiches, bread and dripping etc.

I must say I do like a banana sandwich.....top brown bread with mashed banana that has a handful of salted crisps mashed in. Yum!

I may have mentioned It before but here goes again !

I was in Cefalu for the 1990 World Cup & I'll always remember a Cork guy ordering a Tanora from a very bemused barman in a beach bar.

I know, it's strange, but good! Think the salt compliments the sweetness of the banana, as well as textures. Just make sure they are plain salted crisps, not Tayto's finest!

When I moved to London it was easy to identify new people from home, they'd go to the bar and ask for a vodka/bacardi and red and be a bit baffled when they got a vodka and a glass of wine

add some sliced apple and it taste better again also try chip sandwiches with lashes of ketchup, delicious if you feeling very hungry.

As a student I worked in a bar in London and i made a similar classic mistake.

Somebody asked me for a vodkar n a biholemen.

So I handed him a vodka and a bottle of something similar to bitter lemon instead of a slice of lemon in his vodkar.

I still got a tip!
