People have said they can't stop thinking about "the good old days" after reading about an unusual Scouse snack.

A firm favourite amongst readers was the sugar sandwich. The combination may seem odd today but for many, it was a popular after-school snack. Janet Vail said: "I remember having sugar butties in the 60s. My mum always said you will get worms eating them but we didn't have a lot of sweets in those days and that is why we probably loved sugar butties, they were the good old days."
Carla Wilson said: "Remember sneaking down to make sugar butties. We always got caught because we cut all the crusts off and my mum would find them in the bin." Pauline Thomas said: "My mum would put anything between two slices of bread, her brother once said bet you wouldn't eat a biscuit butty so to prove him wrong she did."
Another time-honoured favourite with readers is the bread and dripping sandwich that makes the most of meat drippings from the pan coupled with chunks of crusty bread. Sometimes referred to as a mucky sandwich, it once enjoyed a great deal of popularity in local pubs as well as in the home.
Ceridwen George said: "Bread and Dripping straight from the pan could eat some now think it would do my chest good better than any antibiotics". SASHA5 said: "Dripping Butties with a bit of salt. if the meat juices had turned to a dark brown jelly you knew you were in for a treat, kids today are spoiled."
Helen Whitehurst said: "Pork dripping along with its brown jelly on bread or toast. Mum always used to say 'it'll put hairs on your chest'".
