Posted in Luxury Handbags on 05/30/2009 06:26 pm by a-lianThe paper then was sort of crackly, not todays fine plastic. I was mortified when my pals moved on to “snappies’ or greaseproof bags, and we couldnt afford such a little luxury.Did Your Parent Ever Wrap Your Lunch In The Loaf Wrapper?

Oh yes most certainly. What I recall it was a sort of slidy, greasy paper. In Glasgow where I come from your lunch would wrapped in loaf paper from places they made bread like Milanda’, Beatties etc. I am tlaking of the 1950’s so guess you were in later years has nobody then would have moved on to ’snappies’or greaseproof bags as they were unheard of.

i think most who lived in the country did this, while our town cousins were more posh and used the snappies or the greasproof bag. My mortification was that my loaf was the plain not the finer pan, and my sarnies looked like something from the back of beyond! My schoolpals had triangled pan bread. With hindsight, it was a big poverty issue in my family.

When I was in grade school, we carried out lunch and Mother did use the loaf wrapper to put our sandwiches in to keep them fresh.
Redcore is on a rant and making lots of people angry. You are a nasty 26 year old brat redcore. I have Yahoo police watching you, because when you make these remarks about Native American people many of us take it personally. We want our group to have fun, you are not a fun person. How do you manage, redcore, to be on here this many hours a day and night, you don’t work do you? Interesting to say the least.

Lunch? Loaf? Wrapper?
By Gum, where I come from you were lucky if you got tea, never mind lunch. I’d have cried with gratitude if we’d been able to eat bread that came in a wrapper - we had this rubbish stuff that tasted of bread and was sometimes still warm when it came out of the oven.
And we had Jamie Oliver pushing T*sco meat pies through our school fence when our mam used to make her own with real meat and passtry that was not frozen.
And real chips cooked in beef tallow that were brown rather than white.
And there were 150 of us living in a shoebox in the middle of the road.
“What, Cardboard Box”
“Aye”
“Luxury”

My mom always used waxed paper when packing my lunch. When I was in grade school, I carried a lunch pail w/matching thermos. When I got into Jr. High, I carried my lunch in a paper lunch bag.
**Rita Rose….Thank you for speaking out as you did about “redcore.” He says he won’t tolerate those who who insult him, & will block them, but thinks nothing of insulting whoever he pleases. He blocked me last night & I haven’t a clue why, but I’m not losing sleep over it.**

my lunch was always wrapped in wax paper, and it was always disgustingly nutritional, lol, so i used to swap it for jam sandwiches, they were so much nicer. kids, who knows what went on in my head. foghorn, i loved that sketch on monty python, haven’t heard it for years. ha ha ha

That is quite a modern thing. Loaf wrapper. We did not have loaves in wrappers when I was young. Nor did we have sliced bread.
I did not have sandwiches because I had school dinners. But they used to wrap it in greaseproof paper or a paper bag.
05/30/2009 at 6:26 pm
Yes, I did it. Also in the early days of marriage. Wharburtons still do bread in the waxed paper and occasionally I wrap my snap in it.
05/30/2009 at 6:26 pm
very often it was sheets of paper from the co-op the white surfaced paper they used to wrap butter in.
or occasionally the paper from the butchers (waxed ) which could also be used as tracing paper.
enjoy the day

that was so embarassing but with 8 of us i always got what was left as i was the runt and mom thought i wouldn’t complain as much.
But bigger than all of them now
Course it took 40 years to get there.

Doesn’t this make you think how times have changed? The sad part is that no one is any better for the fancy wrapping paper. We haven’t progressed in a nicer way at all.
05/30/2009 at 6:26 pm
I remember the wax paper kind. I loved the smell of that paper and it always made the sandwich smell fresh too. Strange isn’t it? lol
05/30/2009 at 6:26 pm
We didn’t buy bread while we lived on the farm, it was all homemade. I remember wrapping sandwiches with wax paper before we had plastic sandwich bags though.

Then science discovered that food wrapped in ’snappies’ was more likely to produce cancer in the youngsters bodies.
05/30/2009 at 6:26 pm
i remember waxed paper,but my dad used to take his sandwiches to work in an old oxo tin,anybody remember them
05/30/2009 at 6:26 pm
My mother usually used waxed paper.
05/30/2009 at 6:26 pm
yes, but I don’t remember the name of the bread, but I remember it was very popular .That was when sliced white bread was thought to be the best.
05/30/2009 at 6:26 pm
No, it was always in waxed paper but she did wrap my feet in the bread wrappers underneath my snow boots.
05/30/2009 at 6:26 pm
Of course my friend,i was sick of ink-stained sarnies from the newspapers.
05/30/2009 at 6:26 pm
My mom always used wax paper.
05/30/2009 at 6:26 pm
I still wrap mine in the loaf wrapper! No sense in letting good plastic go to waste!
05/30/2009 at 6:26 pm
Yes, all the time ! , I used to take it home to be reused.
05/30/2009 at 6:26 pm
