Orange juice is a good one or chocolate biscuits. They were only ever for special occasions

Lucozade, it was only ever bought if we were sick or occasionally had to fake having the flu to get out of going to school

We never had garlic or fresh herbs of any kind. I now include in most of my cooking.

I adored my grandmother but still am haunted by memories of her forcing me to take cod liver oil.

A whole salmon definitely poached from the lough and wrapped in a newspaper, mum refused to touch it but dad allowed us to watch him descale it, gut and clean it out, then chased us with the head, good memories.

Smoked salmon.

I only ever remember having it during family events and usually not our own ones.

Always have it in the fridge these days

Newry Down

Food that involved the use of pasta, such as macaroni cheese.

Pasta, then was a rare luxury; now it's commonplace.
