    I never had a burger when I was a lad, either home-made or out of a tin or frozen. Friday night was fish and chips night, other than that it was all home-cooked from scratch. Not much variety though; you could tell what day of the week it was by what was on your plate.

    Friday was always fish and chips at school (the only edible meal they did and even that wasn't great. Chips would always be soggy).

    Can't remember what tea was on a Friday. Too long ago now and my mother's cooking was always forgettable.

    In our house it went:

    Sunday: roast lamb, roast potatoes etc etc with home-made apple pie

    Monday: cold remains of lamb, with boiled potatoes

    Tuesday: scouse

    Wednesday: mince and mashed potatoes

    Thursday: liver and bacon

    Friday: fish and chips

    Saturday: I can't actually remember. Maybe sausages.

    i had mince n tatties a few times...was my fav. usually with a tin of beans might get chicken, but not every week as it was expensive. stew and dumplings too... lots of homemade soup too usually with plain bread. occasional puddings like apple sponge, rhubarb sponge, or crumbles..
    was always tasty and plenty of it...no complaints

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    I'm impressed that you can remember. I think Wednesday was our scouse night, or 'hot pot' as we called it. I think our system broke down when I was about 12 as my mother then had to look after her parents and wasn't always about in the evenings so it was chippy tea or Chinese takeaway instead. She'd just leave some money on the side and you went and got what you wanted. An equitable arrangement that suited everyone. I still eat loads of Chinese food as a result of that.

    I refused to eat red meat as a child, so that rather cocked up the home catering arrangements.

    Lol@creatures of habit!

    We tended to have fish on Fridays and pasta on Saturdays, but other than that mum cooked whatever looked good in the butcher, fishmonger or greengrocer, and also the Italian delis we used in Glasgow, one of which was run by my dad's cousin, when she went out shopping. This was in the (good old) days before supermarkets ruled all.

    On Sundays, mum got out her recipe books and made something 'exotic', always Italian or French-based. It would've simply been too unadventurous and boring to have had such a rigid food regime, as outlined above. That's really the key to eating well: buying what looks good on the day (at the shops you go to), and cooking *that*, not sticking to set foods, simply to fulfil a habit.

    However, you do what you have to do, based on your individual circumstances, and you seemed to have ate good home-cooked food Joe, when you were growing up, and which I'm sure tasted very nice

    Disagree... I prefer poultry or pork. When I eat red meat, it's usually lamb. Beef I only eat once in a blue moon. We've having some slow-cooked brisket today, and that'll be the first piece of beef/red meat I'll have eaten in about a month!

    TBH, if it weren't for chicken, I could fairly easily become a vegetarian, although I'd still want to eat fish.

    Not that keen on pork unless it is in bacon form. Could eat bacon for England. And lamb chops. Lamb fat is the best fat.
