This is a good expression - Probably not Malcolm's but he said it enough that it is forged into my subconscience - The food stuff that he most often connected to this wonderful expression was white bread - We very rarely had it in the MacAfee household. Everytime I seee white bread I am reminded that you might just as well be eating Moth Poop - and I also know from my childhood that moths eat old clothes (and they like flames) so their poop would most likely be old eaten clothes - doesn't sound too healthy.
But wait - there is now whole grain (all the nutrition of Whole wheat) bread that looks and tastes like white bread - interested? Yes I am - It is also 3 times more expensive than the Moth refuse bread - so my curiosity has subsided for the moment.
Dad also saw some other things in that same light - Fluff comes to mind, also Fruit Loops - I think today's youth are more health aware - at Mini Rugby for instance - When I stated 28 years ago we were weened on a steady diet of Mini Sips (ancestor of the drinking Box), Mrs. Dunster's Doughnuts and Hot Chocolate - Since I now run the Mini rugby show I tried to stay old school - and provide them with the same snacks - only problem is - kids want to eat healthier - so now we also have bananas, Apples, Milk and Water - I think this bodes well for the youth of tomorrow.
I used to eat Caramel spread between two pieces of White bread...
