Vintage Kitchen...meet Tubby Trex!

Apart from Marmite, (which I adore ) the one thing that I remember clearly, from my very young childhood, is Trex.

Trex featured highly in my mum's kitchen... and in her baking. (Trex was a vegetable fat.)

She would put on her apron and get baking.

This little book was one which she used regularly:

To whip up wonderful things!

But it was not just that!...

Enter Tubby Trex:

Tubby Trex was the star of the show and a great marketing ploy.

I doubt the name would even be allowed nowadays, for fear of offending someone a little 'tubby'!

I have the money box!

Each one came with a secret code that you had to remember, in order to twist off the lid!!

And there was good friend Tubby, dancing with the family;-)

But wait..there's more! ;-)

Inside every Trex pack there were cards, which my mum collected for me...very nice cards they were too ; double the size of the cards you got in the tea packets.

And she stuck them into albums for me.

Which, all these years later, every now and again, I get out and thumb through.

Good old Trex!

And good old Tubby!

And good old mum !
