I've just eaten a Vesta chow mein

[MyCatHatesEverybody]

It was awful yet delicious. Ok maybe not delicious, but it was a bowl full of one of my rare fluffy childhood memories.

Any other suggestions for a nostalgic lunch or dinner?

I'm currently sitting eating my second pack of ringos, not even bothered with my sandwich, the multipack packs are only 61 cals though. I got them in Asda.

Cheese hamwiches and turkey drummers were my favourites.

I need tinned Chicken supreme, diced chicken in white sauce with bits of mushroom. I used to have it on toast as a student 79-81

I used to make findus crispy pancake sandwiches.

2 slices white plastic bread
2 mince beef pancakes
1 cheese
Blob of tomatoe sauce

Lovely!

I have serched everywhere for the tin of hamburgers and cannott find them anywhere i would love to try them again x

My mum was too tight to buy angel delight - we had 'instant whip'.

Also remember eating sterilised cream from tins - loved it!!!

Ooh sterilised cream with tinned peaches!

When did you buy it?

Many many years ago, completely broke, we went on holiday. To Ibiza. Self-catering. We actually took half a dozen vestas with us so we could spend all our money on booze.

Vesta paella is another classic!

Earlier this week flavabobble. Vestas in Ibiza sounds awesome.

Gammon & pineapple rings.

The Vesta paella isn't the same; they took out the dried chicken and whatever they used to colour it yellow. It's now off-white, and has almost no taste.

Findus cheese crispy pancakes were the best tea ever!

Just remembered another delicacy dining out and having Chicken Maryland at the Chinese 😂

I've just googled the crispy pancakes...they still sell them in Asda but they don't look as appetising as an adult.

Not a meal as such but as a DC I used to like dipping lady finger biscuits into yoghurt as my afternoon snack.

You need half a grapefruit sprinkled with brown sugar and grilled till it bubbles, add a maraschino cherry for perfection!
Followed by a fish finger sandwich with salad cream.

We have Angel Delight at school (primary school teacher) AND it has 100s & 1000s on it! Our school cook is a genius. Butterscotch is the best.

Out of all the nostalgia meals, fray bentos is the worst thing to ever be revisited - the slimy pastry 🤮. The only thing I remember about those vesta currys was picking out the raisins.

If anyone finds any of the Vesta beef risotto's anywhere can you please let me know where, disgusting but lovely at the same time

I've actually bought a couple of Fray Bentos pies... DH has a broken knee and can't do any cooking, I've had a bug and not known from one day to the next what I'll be up to doing < gets her excuses in early > I thought something as simple and easy as a FB pie and frozen veg would suffice if the need arose.

I'll get m'hat

Ooh I want one now!

You can now buy ready made angel delight and the £shop or the one that's just over a £ do a tub of it like milkshake mix.

My DH looks longily at the Fray Bentos pies but I always refuse as we had one a couple.of years ago and it was minging. He still maintains he liked it.

Primula cheese spread (with prawns if DM was feeling rakish) on Jacobs cream crackers. The taste of Sunday evening.

We bought some Angel Delight a while back having told the DCs it was kids' favourite desert in the 70s.

I don't know if it's changed or my taste has changed now but it was absolutely vile unfortunately and none of us could finish it! So much salt!

I remember when I was little that Vesta seemed so glamorous and exotic! Love Angel Delight must be butterscotch though, I’m not alone in my appreciation Simon Cowell loves Angel Delight as well! I was gutted when they stopped makingToast Toppers, bring them back Heinz. Do they still make treacle sponge and golden syrup in a tin? God I loved that!
