Just asked daughter what would she like for supper

Pobs was the reply



Now if I had suggested it , no chance , but the power of ' Grandad '

Is that bread sugar and milk?

Not had em for years I think its an 'area' thing Tony but yes the main ingrediants are as you say, ive also had it with raisins

Posh ' pobs '

, a bit like the carrots issue

dont bl00dy start you

Hmmmmm carrots, lobby. Hmmmmmm.

shut it!!!!!!

cant believe Beth actually eats it revolting stuff a bit like the sugar butties my Grandad used to tell me about, yuck yuck yuck.
Finding something healthly that Beth will eat is much much harder, I think that theres only fruit

Pobs with banana

My mum and grandma used to eat it with warm milk. They used to eat tripe too. Blluurrgghh!!!

does the taste change with different bread

Warbies or harveys

dont use brown bread it tastes like cr@p

It would probably look like it as well with being brown and all that.

My Mother used to do this when i was younger but always buttered the bread first, makes tasty however as a result she died through a cereal killer

I must have lived a very sheltered life cos I've never heard of 'pobs'!!

Us of proper Westleyth ancestry were brought up proper Mish

Me too Fred , born and bred Abbey Loner

Now that's a bit below the belt Fred, I can only dream of being a proper Westleyther - all posh and proper like what you are.





AND I WANT SOME POBS!!

Sorry Mish I told 'porkies' only born in Firs brought up Platt Bridge, Hindley but mostly Atherton


Me mams family are true Westleythers though born and raised in Victoria St, pity me dad was a Hindley pie eater (though he did see sense in the 50's and changed to being a Leyther

)

thought you said your an ag folder

My mum used to encourage me to eat apples as a child by slicing them up and arranging them nicely on a plate which as a parent looking back was a great trick. Trouble is she coated them in bloody sugar!

My nan also use to put chips in my soup. Proper chip pan chips. The grease would float on top of the soup but they were bloody good!

I don't think I was even destined to be a scrum half.

Do people still own chip pans?

Hag fold is in Atherton

Dawson St (Off Bag Lane) then Birchield Ave then back to Dawson St then Prestwich St finally in Seddon Close.
Then moved to Westleigh now Pennington so ive come down in the world

First had pobs at me nans house , think I was 4 or 5 at the time , small squares of bread sprinkled with sugar and served with hot milk over the top , simple idea but bloody lovely back then

Hmmmmmm. Chips and Oxtail soup and lots of bread and butter. Now yer talkin.

I'm going to give my Mother what for when I see her - she's a Westleyther and I'm a Wigan Roader so you'd think I'd be an expert in Pobs - I am officially 'deprived' now and when I see her I'm going to insist she makes me some pobs or she's going to be in big trouble. I'm probably going to need counselling now.

It used to be a taylors pastie and Oxtail soup for me n our kid
