I used to do a bit for two sheep farmers (father and son) in the Wicklow Hills and after the daily fry up they used to argue over whos turn it was to clean the pan.

Then one of them would squeeze 3 or 4 slices of bread together and wipe the pan clean and eat it.

Both were about 6' 2" and as thin as bean poles, but then again half the day was spent running up and down a mountain.

Ray that has all been proven to be nonsense ... that was the thinking back in the 80,s and onwards etc but three separate scientific facilities have carried out studies using hundreds of people and proved there is no harm from animal based saturated fats .......

When I was a kid in the 50's and 60's, like most youngsters I was forever hungry. Round our way you were filled up with a "piece of dip" which is a couple of slices of bread dipped in some melted lard and smothered with red sauce. Me and my ,mates lived on that for the first ten years of our lives or so but every one of us was as thin as a whippet and fit as could be. We were also out from dawn till dusk playing football and other games or exploring the local woods. My opinion is that exercise is much more important than what you eat for health.

I loved it when I was a kid. It was a genuine treat. We would often come in from play and be given bread and dripping to share with whoever we were playing with.

I can remember my mam and grandma eating tripe and pigs' feet. The working class really did eat offal in those days. Fecking disgusted me-but they used to love it. I was more of a fray bentos tinned beef lover. (probably offal as well) I can remember my mam chasing me with the pig's foot for a laugh.

No doubt these days I could have counselling for psychological trauma. :laugh:

I think everybody died mid sixties or before in those days. I think there were lots of reasons for it-not just poor grub.

One thing I have noticed though is that kids who were born just after the war are a lot taller than their parents-better nutrition i reckon. I'm a lot taller than my dad was and even my older brothers. My mam reckoned it was because i got cod liver oil and free orange juice which wasn't available to older kids. Mind you the fact that we lived near the docks helped too--there was lots of foodstuffs knocked off from the docks which always found its way into kitchen. My dad, uncles and grandad worked on the docks so we were well fed by comparison to other families.
