Memories .... granddad's favourate meal

My granddad - born at the turn of the 19th century , who served in WWI , ran away from home and fibbed to join the AIF, and became a coal miner prior to the after the GD , then after a long time with no work , much like a lot of his generation at the time.
Then he became a manufacturing jeweller watchmaker and made good money , even employing several men at one stage and despite having money when he retired still loved lard or dripping on toast.

Never really knew my other granddad much - died when I was little.
