So does anyone else have Yorkshire pud with Christmas lunch?


Oh yes! And I'm from London (so probably don't know any better...)

Just caught up with this subject. My step great great grandfather was a rag and bone man until he died in1926. One of his granddaughter told me  that after becoming a widower he would have lunch at his daughters house but first put the meal bag on the horse she  found it amusing that horse and man would work and eat together. He had another business which was as proprietor of swings at local park. These were the large boat swings don't know how much he charged.

His son in law (my g-grandfather ) was described as a ' scavenger' in one document so must have worked for him at one time.  I'm big on recycling so perhaps its hereditary :-\

I'm surprised your friend from Scotland didn't also use the word scavenger as I have heard this word in the North of Scotland. My OH has family from Orkney who were also described as scavengers but for the local Roperie.

MY worst food memory is of my gradmother eating or rather sucking pigs trotters. :-[ :o :-X

They are not totally a thing of the past. We still have one who comes down our road fairly regular, not horse and cart of course, 4 wheeled vehicle with an engine, driven very slowly, but he does shout out 'raaaaag and bone'.  Think he is from the local traveller community.

Here in Cyprus the local butchers counter has skinned goat heads sitting in the cabinet - looking at me  :o

Put me right off

There may be more strange things there but I divert my eyes in case one of them winks at me  ;)
