LOL I have no sense of smell (too many ops on my nose to enable me to breathe when I was a kid) so miss out on both the Beet Factory *and* the Greene King brewery at the bottom of my road! :D Not to mention the lovely local pig farms along whatever that main road to Ipswich is. (I can't drive, so don't tend to know road numbers. The A14??)
Huh. You call it "whole" milk? Funny, in my family it has always been "full fat". Or in the days when Dairy Crest used to deliver to the doorstep, Red Top (aka Homogonised) or Silver Top - oh GOD, do you remember those third-pint bottles of silver top in morning break at Junior School? Always made me feel *so* sick - and Gold Top (Jersey) for my Nan and Aunty Kathleen.
Ah, the Silver Top bottles when the blue tits pecked at the foil lids to get at the cream before you could get the milk off the step. And hot summer days when the milk had already gone off by the time you got up and cold winter days when it froze on the doorstep and there would be a stalagmite of milk punched up through the neck of the bottle, or the bottle was shattered and the milk frozen solid. Grief, delivery wasted a lot of milk. :D
As I said, I'm a Sainsbury's beans gal and Baxter's soups. But yes, oh yes. Heinz 57 Varieties. All those "Cream of" soups... mushroom, celery, chicken, tomato... Very healthy ;)
Aged *two* even in blind tastings (people tried) my little brother (John!) could always identify (and prefer) Heinz tomato ketchup.
Remember Daddies Sauce? Haven't seen that around for ages.
