[jambutty]

When I was suffering from tonsillitis as a child, which was quite often until my tonsils were removed, my mum would warm some milk, add a small nob of butter and a spoonful of pure honey. Whilst the milk was heating up she would soak a cloth in either meths or vinegar and wrap it around my throat. It never worked but the milk and honey tasted great.

My all time favourite snack was and still is a couple of slices of buttered toast liberally spread with jam, preferably strawberry jam, with slices of a good quality sharp Cheddar cheese on top. It’s almost a meal in itself.
