My lunches were sandwiches,often cheese, and a bought lunch on Mondays (no fresh bread) My bought lunches were invariably a cornish pasty and a large cream bun.
At home,lots of lamb,as it was the cheapest meat. Chicken only on special occasions. Fish and chips on Friday.(Catholic) Not a lot of fruit and the veggies were cooked into oblivion. I ate everything in sight. Loved fried fritz (baloney)
At 14 I was the shortest boy in my class of 46 boys, at 5 feet. At 17 I was 5'11" and weighed 140 pounds. A swizzlestick. When I left the army in 1970 I was 126 pounds of ego and testosterone. After 6 months it was 168 pounds. I stayed that weight for nearly 20 years.
