I regularly have Brawn sandwiches with Brown Sauce for my lunch on a Saturday/Sunday - they taste delicious. Having been raised in the 50's with little money coming into the house it was what you ate as Boiled Ham was far too expensive.

We also still enjoy Tripe and Pigs Trotters with vinegar and Ducks (not the waddling sort) - lovely and very cheap. Have gone off the cold fish (unsold portions from the Fish-shop which we were given next day) and then warmed up for dinner.

And we never knew we were poor - sat in candlelight because we had no money for the meter.

I could go on .......
