Anyone come up with the perfect proportions for this yet?

Yes all the food in the AF books sounds very much of the 40s, even in those supposedly set in the seventies. When did people stop eating bread and dripping? Or sugar sandwiches?

Old-fashioned, yes, but I wouldn't think the 40s, exactly -- there'd have been rationing then. When bread-and-dripping came up on Girlsown once, seems to me several people said they still ate it, but that's some time ago and I may have forgotten the details.

Orange sherbet and vanilla ice cream is a classic combination in the US, so I always thought of orange-juice-and-cream as being something like that. But I never could figure out how the cream didn't curdle from the acid in the orange juice.

I ate bread-and-butter-and-brown-sugar as a child (1980s)!

Mmmm, bread & dripping.

My dad used to eat it regularly well into the nineties.
