It's available as an e-book on Amazon if you can't find a printed copy, but there should be a few left in the shops - I know Unity in Wellington has it. It's full of examples of taste evoking memories. <br /><br />Anne Elsehttps://elsewoman.co.nznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8332789009807942569.post-40903999707807421012021-04-05T06:21:01.473+12:002021-04-05T06:21:01.473+12:00My Mum used to make these Salmon sandwiches like y...My Mum used to make these Salmon sandwiches like you say back in the day the tinned was all you could get unless you were wealthy. Something else comes to mind, I was at a relations house as an adult and the lady of the house-made sandwiches as soon as I had tasted one it took me back to my childhood it was quite profound. Years later after this had happened many times I asked Mary what she put in the sandwiches it was just salad things but the magic ingredient was salad cream. It never ceases to amaze me how taste can evoke memories.<br />I think I'll have to get your book there may be more memories locked inside it.

I think she would have just picked up the idea of making these, perhaps from the Woman's Weekly or 'Aunt Daisy' on the radio! We also had tinned salmon and salad in summer for dinner (always called 'tea'). I'll try those egg and tomato sandwiches, they do sound delicious.AnneEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00869114756713316204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8332789009807942569.post-56580702992525574352020-06-09T05:47:14.467+12:002020-06-09T05:47:14.467+12:00Hi.

They were a favourite at Hogmany in my home town of Aberdeen, Scotland. Another favourite sandwich filling was mashed hard boiled eggs with tomato flesh mixed in. Delicious!

I tend to use the little cans of flavoured tuna to make sandwiches - it makes up for the blander taste.AnneEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00869114756713316204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8332789009807942569.post-7574454510667785962017-09-13T05:52:01.779+12:002017-09-13T05:52:01.779+12:00Thought you might like this.

I loved salmon sandwiches and they were the only sandwiches that I would eat on white bread. I was ( still am) very fussy with my food. <br /><br />We used to go to my Aunts and there had salmon sandwiches on white bread. I used to say they tasted different but my mum would tell me it was because it didn't have vinegar in them. YEARS later I realised that these sandwiches were in fact TuNA ( which was vastly cheaper). <br /><br />Now? Love salmon and tuna sandwiches on wholemeal.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04077879283946126808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8332789009807942569.post-68922139561410887032013-06-18T22:08:38.081+12:002013-06-18T22:08:38.081+12:00Just the kinds of responses I'd hoped for - ea...Just the kinds of responses I'd hoped for - each adding your recollections of your own food history.

I loved all the wonderful food experimenting you did (including the failures) - your passion shines through for food and life. It reminded me of the first time I made moussaka (living in Manchester doing my OE) and I'd never seen an eggplant, or a red chilli before - so somehow at the market, I purchased large red chillies and proceeded to build a layer of mince, a layer of chillies and the cheese sauce - ending up with an inedible lunch (my friend and I tried gallantly to eat it...) <br />maggie@at-the-bay.comhttp://www.maggieraineysmith.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8332789009807942569.post-3897723282539328202013-06-15T19:33:24.835+12:002013-06-15T19:33:24.835+12:00Congratulations on the book launch!
