silly me hc4361, course thats the reason, we also didnt have a fridge in those days, but a pantry.

[hc4361]

We had one of those kitchen units that are coming back in to fashion in a retro sort of way with the drop down flap in the middle. Two of the drawers under the drop down door were lined with zinc or something to keep them cooler, for keeping butter and cheese in.
And of course we had a meat safe, to keep the air circulating round the raw meat and the flies off. I still prefer my beef and lamb when it is slightly high, it has much more flavour.

Raw pork always went off during a thunder storm, a most peculiar phenomenon.

Yes we had steri milk before we had a fridge and had a kitchenette with the drop down leaf.

My Gran had a meat safe, it was really cold in there and a stone slop stone (sink).

[Mamyalynne]

^ Too many stones up there , lol.

Ohhhh yeah, my mom had one of those kitchen cabinets when I was a sprog.
And we had stera milk ( can you still get that ? ).

It is available but think more people go for UHT as a stand by at least.

I usually have a couple of cartons of UHT in the cupboard in case I run out of fresh, nearly always goes out of date because I don't.
