“My freshest memories are of my Dad cooking a lot. Certainly, when he retired, he took over all of the cooking. Mom used to have a regular meat order from a butcher in Lomey Town, Cradley Heath. Each bit of meat would be wrapped in grease proof paper with the blood leaking through the gaps. The lamb chops were normally for the adults while the kids had things like sausages. Nothing like hamburgers then though. We used to have egg and chips or bacon and eggs for a meal. Never any curries or chilli type dishes or pasta.”
