Mmm lovely jubbly I really do think it's sugar that causes the probs and not fat. It's far easier to work off fat in the system than it is sugar. Hi CaronYes and it was very tasty. Yummy yummy. I always liked the jelly-like meaty fluid (no doubt iron rich though I would not have known that) which was beneath the fat layer when it had all cooled. I know I'm off going topic but another salty thing I liked was the biscuity things you used to have after a swimming lesson, usually with a mug of hot Bovril.

Your biscuity things have got me scratching my head ? Agree with you though, the bottom of the dripping pot was the best I didn't like the white stuff at all.

We always called dripping and bread - fat & bread and we always put loads of salt on it. Some pork shops even sold dripping and bread.

I think the salty things could have been the salt buscuits that they sold at the kiosk in Armley baths.10 for a penny! Great when you were eating them on your way home!

Can't help with Micky Dripping, but it's reminded me that there was a cartoon character called Lizzie Dripping. I think she was another character's sidekick, but despite racking my brains I'm blowed if I can remember which comic she was in. No doubt somebody on here will remember?

Salty biscuits makes sense. I was in a swimming team in the 60's and salt was considered a help for warding off cramp though I suppose nowadays it would be frowned upon.Yes, I remember the prog with Lizzie Dripping though I had forgotten it til you mentioned it. Lizzie Dripping was played by a girl/young woman who was a Blue Peter presenter at one time. Suppose if I went on Google I'd eventually find her.And finally......Stutterdog, you've made my day. I'm so glad you too had a Mickey Dripping in your life
