When I wuz a nipper I drank a glass of cold milk when I got home from school.
This was accompanied by a jam butty: thick white bread, butter and lashings of Hartleys strawberry jam lovingly prepared by my old Mum.
Throwing my school tie onto a coat hook I then, complete with milk tash and jammy nose, climbed the staircase to my bedroom full of all my fave stuff.
Nowadays I seem to need coffee in some form when I get home, usually a ready-made sachet of frothy cappucino from Aldi.
What I have with it varies though.
Today I scoffed a Hanuta, a small square wafer sandwich of hard nutella and hazelnuts, which are truly delicious.
Tomorrow I have already promised myself a piece of toast [sadly brown bread], buttered and smeared with peanut butter and topped with jam. Its an after-school pizza!
I must admit though a traditional white-bread jam butty would still do the trick if I could smuggle some pale sliced Warburtons into Moonbase!
What snack do you like in an afternoon and what did you scoff as a kid after Skool?
Getting the idea from the sandwiches that Shaggy and Scooby Doo used to make, after school I'd sometimes try to make something similar with whatever was in the fridge and pantry. Slice of white bread, butter, lettuce, ham/chicken, tomato, sliced pickled onions, another slice of bread, red cabbage, some crisps, cucumber and topped with another slice of bread. Sort of a big Mac of sandwiches. Delicious. Could only manage one though.
ReplyDeleteWow, now that's a sarnie Yorkie! Such a cool idea. I bet you werent alone either seeing as so many of us watch Scooby Doo. Sounds like you had a well-stocked fridge as well! Everything to hand! Its the sliced pickled onions that make it special! Ahead of your time there!
DeleteTodays home-from-work survival snack was a salt & vinager crisp sandwich and a chunk of cheese, Woodsy. Truth is, I'm not the most skilled in the kitchen, in fact I'm a danger to myself, but I know enough to survive... at least 'til Mrs K gets home to feed me :)
ReplyDeleteA crisp butty and cheese! Sounds like a classic Tone! Can't think how it could be inproved. Maybe a glass of chocolate milk to wash it down? 'Feed me' ha ha, I like that. You sound like the big plant in Little Shop of Horrors! On a sadder note, I read yesterday that marmalade butty eating Paddington Bear's creator Michael Bond has passed away. I'm sure his creation will live on.
DeleteYep Woodsy, I was also sad to hear that Michael Bond had passed away. You're right, he'll certainly be remembered through Paddington. What a great children's book and telly character!
DeleteThe toy Paddingtons were actually invented and made down the road from Moonbase on the outskirts of Doncaster by the forebears of one Jeremy Clarkson!
