OneMoreFarang Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 I am surprised that they have pictures of all those things. It seems photography was already invented at that time. ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a difference between CRISP & CHIP butties, in UK anyway.

I'm enough of an Anglophile to understand the difference between a crisp sandwich and a chip butty. And at our age, screw the healthy cr**p, I just eat what I enjoy 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually Lozenges, but as kids we used to eat them like sweets, difficult to find nowadays I guess but as they contained chloroform and ether understandable !! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much to the chagrin of my wife who’s a fantastic cook and cooks 95% of the meals at home, at about age 5 my son thought I was the best cook in the world... When I was on ‘duty’ (wife had gone out) I’d make him a Ham ’n crisp sandwich... make up an adventurous story of how this is what I ate when I discovered Antarctica, hitching rides with giant eagles and on hump-back whales etc... Crisp Sandwiches... still can’t be beaten to this day !!! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can honestly say I've never, nor will I ever, eaten crisps or French fries in a sandwich. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
