Things your parents gave you to eat that you never fed your children or relatives children.

There are lots of things my Mum used to give me to eat as a child that I would never give to my children.

My Mum used to give me Demerara Sugar Sandwiches with butter.

My mum made battered fried jam sandwiches and she's not even Scottish!
They were strangely nice though.

My sister used to love tomato sauce sandwiches.

I used to love putting my mashed potatoes in a sandwich and dip it in my mums homemade gravy

I've heard of a chip butty but never a mashed potato butty!

And I agree with you on the tomato ketchup sarnies!

Not my mum but my dads mum used to give him Dolly mixture sandwich’s thankfully me and my brother didn’t have to eat them

I have to admit that I'm partial to a salad cream sandwich or salad cream on toast. My hubby often makes an omelette sandwich....weird!

Sprouts.
Cabbage.
Spam fritters.

I love tomato sauce on toast. In fact I love tomato sauce on everything.

One thing I loved and my Mum disapproved of was sugar on tomatoes. My Grandad (paternal) always had sugar on his tomatoes and he let me have it too. My Mum tried to ban me from going there, she said he was a bad example. He also taught me to play cards for penny's before I went to school!

My dad peels an apple and then sprinkles salt on it. Now that is tasty.

My late granny when I was round there used to make toast with thick slices of butter on but cut into little squares,I loved it.She also made corned beef sandwiches and literally cut the butter and put it on before the corned beef.I don't have kids but I don't think I'd do it that way lol.

Aren't Grandad's great? Such a bad influence! My Grandad always used to give me and my brother ice cream sodas. My Grandad passed away when I was 7 and I've not had one since because I want to remember it as a lovely treat and I'd probably hate it now.

Since all my children have four legs I'm free to eat whatever I like, and having a very sweet tooth, your post reminded me of the golden syrup and clotted cream sandwiches we used to get for lunch at work. Mince pies are expensive, but I do love them, have to improvise not having a cooker, so currently having mincemeat sandwiches!

My Mum used to give us golden syrup sandwiches ….and my brothers had their dummies dipped in it !

When I was a kid if we were out of milk my mom told me to put orange juice on my cereal.

Sadly my Grandad passed way when I was around that age too. I lost the other one a couple of years later. Grandads in my experience were very special people.

My mum used to make macaroni cheese by melting grated cheese over the hot macaroni.
Served with a generous helping of tomato ketchup it’s the only way to make make it

My mum used to give me rice pudding with rosehip syrup on it. You can't buy it now but it was the only way to get me to eat the pudding

I always used to ask my Mum for golden syrup on bread and butter whenever The Pink Panther cartoon came on TV - why, I have absolutely no idea! She complied, but rather reluctantly, I think.
