My dad loved Trotters, slathered in brown sauce. Mom's favourite was Tripe and Onions.

dad had a hock sat nights we had pigs feet or Chitterlings
as a child in the 1950's, offal of all sorts was a regular part of the family diet. Mum frequently served up faggots, kidneys, liver, Tongue sandwiches were regularly presented for Sunday afternoon tea, and brains on thick white toast was a delightful snack served up on a weekday, when I got home from school
Yes. Offal was cheap and nourishing. When I worked in Brum, I used to buy half a pigs head from the Market, and take it to my dad. He would make Brawn, pressed in a big, white, crock bowl. Sliced, in-between two thick slices of Bloomer loaf, and plenty of butter. Not the healthy option, but mighty tasty.
I don't recall tinned food at home. I was fourteen before I tried tinned beans on toast.

That Granny cake looks delicious Steve. Do you have the recipe. I havn't done any baking for years. Long time ago I was teased to enter a Bero competition for Victoria Sponge. Never baked before. Twenty cakes entered and judges didn't know who entered each one. I won it and felt embarrassed when it was announced, as only man who did

Other than using all Sultanas, I followed this recipe.
I looked for an easy recipe for my first attempt, and this was it.

Probably more likely to find them to heat in a microwave these days. So no tins.

I have 2 treacle pudding recipes from my Gran.suet pudding and treacle pudding
One with treacle added to the mix. The other has treacle at the bottom of the basin which then goes over the pudding when you turn it out.

That game pie looks superb, Pete. Winter food at its best.
This week, I made a big batch of Chilli to get the freezer stocked up. I used 3 Kg. of venison in it.
We have access to plenty of Game up here, so it is our main source of protein.
These are Pheasant escalopes, which I make often.

My folks ate a lot of rabbit, hence so did we kids. I still do, but only wild rabbits.
We did not get much chance to try anything "exotic".
I made another cake this morning, (baking as I type. It bought back memories of my mom baking cakes, with me and my brother waiting impatiently to clean out the mixing bowl.

Yes, Pete, I remember them well.
Any leftover pastry from the apple pies, was quickly turned into wee jam tarts, in just such tins. Nothing went to waste.

A quick intake of comfort food, when the chilli is in the freezer, and time is tight.
Venison chilli, cheesy chips.
