oh you sophisticate!

now i know the secret does that make me a true internet trad or just an internet gentleman?

I suspect on another forum - I would be declared -very prole for declaring this -but I love dripping sandwiches
and Michael I promise it is a real animal by product- nothing kinky.

It was all meat paste or fish paste round here when I was a nipper. What meat or fish was a mystery known only to the manufacturer (Shippams?) and he kept schtum.

Anyone remember pork luncheon meat, the slightly posher version of spam? 

And still, corned beef beats all comers.

Thomas ol chum,

Peanut butter.  As ol WFB propounded -- if peanut butter were as expensive as caviar, it would be served at Buckingham Palace.

We used to call the Salmon paste 'Sammy Spread'.

Cool.

People may be clueless, But all of the stuff to me is perfectly familiar. This is what we ate, before the food revolution. You want to be a Wasp. Try eating the stuff people ate in the 1950s.
       Wait, wait: anyone remember Creme de Menthe over ice. The preferred drink of my very elderly aunts? They weren't wasps, but they sent my mother to a college prom at the Plaza Hotel in the 1930s. a lot of us rode in the wake of the Kennedys even then.

the ones my great aunts drank were definitely green. there is a clear version of creme de menthe, though. I am too young to answer the question.

Creme de menthe parfaits? Even I used to have those.
