Whwn explaining to someone how something is done, you might say something like 'pull it out, screw' the xxx on to it, push it back and pobs - job done'.

Home baked bread that had gone stale was thrown into a bowl soup.........after that Mike Tyson would have had to watch out.

We had a little discussion about pobs in early Feb from #1685 in the "things our parents used to say" thread. A few of us had this delicacy as kids and continue today with variations on the milk ingredient of the recipe!

Sometimes I eat a variant of pobs. Hot milk, with stale bread (or even better, stale biscuits) and honey/treacle or even just brown sugar. If I am off walking in the Yorkshire dales or the moors, I often treat myself to that.

My particular moorland recipe is digestive biscuits, hot milk with a sachet of brown sugar nicked from the B&B. Often I have swiped the biscuits from the B&B. Pour hot milk over biscuits. Mash them up and scoff. Ive seen people who must be the joy of places like Go Outdoors or Decathlon, who have paid a fiver for a sachet of freeze dried crap that is only really of use if you are going up Everest, drooling over my simple food.

Tomato Soup with a slice of bread, broken up into little pieces and added to the soup until all the liquid is absorbed. Mmmm. I don't do it when I'm out though. Not etiquette my dear! :rolleyes:

I remember my Godmother's father eating pobs. Bread with sugar sprinkled over and hot milk poured on. I must have been very young, but I remember watching him eat it and thinking it was because he had no teeth, and that was all he could have. He died when I was six, but I think this memory is earlier than six.

Pobs How many years I haven't heard this word. I was born in Lancashire and after we went to live in Nottm I always passed the school holidays with my grandparents and always had pobs for breakfast. I grew up thinking it was a Lancashire thing
