Ours only got a crusty top when mum made a big slab of it and re heated it in the oven while the meat was roasting, the rest of the week it was just sliced and served on your dinner plate with lots of gravy. Memories but don't think i would want to eat much of it now. But it was very filling and food was scarce at times
