Now that's a way to deliver a cup of tea

 

[Alpo]

Now I have heard of A cups and B cups and C cups. D cups and E cups and even occasionally F cups.

 

But T cups????

 

That's a new one on me.

Hummm. Hot tea carried there, that way??
 

No trays for the waitresses in Australia at that time?

I've seen that referred to as a crumb catcher, but never as a tea tray.

Meat safes to keep the blow flies off....were these a thing in the U.S before refrigeration ?

 

 

[Buckshot Bear]

And when fridge's did arrive, how did we survive with freezers this small? And even the one below is bigger than some I remember up in the corner of the fridge -

 

[Blackwater 53393]

I don’t remember meat safes, but around here, the smokehouse was the prevalent way to preserve meat.

 

My grandfather’s smokehouse was pretty much free of insects of any kind because of the smoke when it was fired and because of screens and the residual smoke smell.

 

That old man would smoke just about anything and he had an apple orchard and hickory trees EVERYWHERE!

Ok it seems like meat safes were an Aussie thing -

@Blackwater 53393 that must be a small.  The AOL article claims 1,720 calories:

"The largest size packs an incredible 1,720 calories, with 118 grams of fat and 128 grams of sugar. It also boasts 55 grams of saturated fat, which is 275% of the recommended daily value."

Unfortunately no, we would foot the bill for heart surgery so we can continue paying for prison housing so we can pay for an expensive execution.

In some areas, prior to getting electricity into the area, it was fresh killed meat, dried and canned or jarred meats and fish, smoked meat, pemmican etc. if there was no ice or an ice store house to keep blocks during the summer months, especially around the isolated reserves.

I suppose something I didn't think about and what makes meat safes more Aussie centric is that in Canada and the U.S having meat hanging in a meat safe would have been a dangerous thing as it would have been a bear attractant? 

[Alpo]

When I read your question about meat safe, I immediately thought of pie safes. Pretty much what your picture showed, but to my knowledge they were used to keep fresh baked goods in. The bugs couldn't get in the little holes punched in it but air could get in and out, so your pies or bread could cool.

 

According to this wiki article they were also used as meat safes. This I did not know.

[Blackwater 53393]

For the most part, pies nor meat neither one lasted long enough around my folks’ houses to need a safe!!

 

When it came out of the oven, a pie was pure history!  Meat went on the stove as soon as it was brought in and was gone before the plates stopped rattling on the table!

 

My dad’s family included 13 children and my mom’s was 12!!  AND ALL OF ‘EM WAS ALWAYS HUNGRY!!

Not just bears, but cougars (4 legged kind) wildcats, wolves, coyotes, wolverines, eagles, vultures, Sasquatch.
