I remember chips done in lard. When you wanted chips you had to turn the chip pan on a month in advance for the lard to melt

My mum never cooked chips,we had mash every day expect Sunday when it was roast potatoes. We only had chips from the chip shop. As we got older we started having Bolognese now and then or Bachelors savoury rice with crispy pancakes.

Actually chips in lard are awesome as its flash point is much higher than vegetable oil.

Trick is get the the fat smoking and make sure the chips have the surface starch washed off and dry, drop them in and the heat seals them and you get lovely crispy chips.

I remember we used to eat suet, but again it was very nice in steak and kidney pudding and roly poly.

Still love it now - but lambs hearts have a special memory for me.. coming home from school and that unmistakable smell from where they had been slow cooking for a couple of hours.

If you mean something we no longer have - then it would be Cabana bars. Coconut and cherry bars covered in chocolate

But all its forgiven because of chocolate sponge with mint chocolate (has to be bright green) custard.
