dripping-y

Updated: June 14, 2025

We took it in turns to cook some delicacy for supper at 8 sausages, curried sardines, liver and bacon, or rarely but joyously fish. At one time or another we feasted on all the luxuries, but fish was rarer than rubies. When we had it we did not care if we stank out the whole lodge with odours of its frying. We would lie down to sleep content in a thick fishy, paraffin-y, dripping-y atmosphere.
