![]() You're of my generation - and possibly close to my economic class - hard to tell; the upper middle classes force their children into lifestyles similar to the aspiring working classes - just with more private lessons. We grew up on heart, rabbit, general offal. We loved suet puddings, steak & kidney pie and liver, bacon & onion. Okay - I didn't really love liver, but cooked in that way it was edible - liver for school dinners was [unmentionable]. Just this week I was trying to persuade Mum to make a steak pudding. She compromised... and offered me Toad in the Hole! WHAT?*! We talked and came to an agreement - sausage, mash & beans. Tonight in fact. Gastro/ high-end pubs and trendy restaurants here are really pushing offal as main courses now. I have no issue with this. If you're from my neck of the woods you grew up with it, and if your parents earned £50K more then my 'rents you probably did too. Sorry - I seem to bring class into a lot of my posts. But then I post muchly about my childhood, and it was a very clear and sincere issue then. Not suggesting Monster's post had anything to do with class or was anything other than a random comment. Was just thinking about it today due to the Toad in the Hole conversation.
