After school snacks

My sister and I had some weird after school snack experiences. In Calcutta, after the school bus brought us home, the Ayah would have our cuppa Chaa waiting, (not Chai, regular, most probably Darjeeling tea.) However, she would also bring us each a plate of toast with a thick spreading of Nestle's Condensed milk. We loved it ! All dripping and gooey and sweet.


When we moved to London, and then when  Sis & I got home from school, (I was 10 and took 2 London Transport Double-deckers to get home. One penny for each leg, no such thing as "transfers" back then,) we still had tea and toast. Mum worked, so dinner was later after she and Dad returned. On our toast in this period we favored Kraft's DairyLea cheese spread. Mild and yet tasty.
