Fav old food memories.

[saltrock123]

What is your oldest favourite food memory?
For me it would be Jacobs cream crackers with Marmite whenever I felt poorly as a kid.
And a small bar of Cadbury milk chocolate which a visiting uncle always used to bring for me.

Kunzle cakes

My mum (who would’ve been 100 if she was still with us) used to make what she called Orange stew! Beef, tinned tomatoes, carrots, a tin of baked beans, red lentils, pearl barley and a tin of tomato soup. She’d then make homemade dumplings for the top. Blooming delicious!
My posh friends used to have powdered rise and shine orange juice which was delicious the nearest artificial orange taste I can get is Sunny D!
also an ice lolly which had jelly in the middle!

M&S do a fab toad in the hole and onion gravy! Yum

Love you. For both the fiendish feet yoghurt and the username.

@Crispynoodle ooooh!!!! I will have to investigate.... thank you! 💐❤️

Does anyone remember ketchips? Frozen chips with ketchup in the middle. Those and Bernard Matthews turkey burgers that had a layer of cheese on top. Memories of my mum, sister and me struggling back from Bejam with the weekly shop that always weighed a ton!

Findus crispy pancakes and alphabites for tea.
Funny feet ice creams
Screwball ice creams
Max Pax drinks from a machine at school - or just getting the powder in the cup and dipping your finger in it.
Cherryade
Cheese and pineapple hedgehogs at birthday parties.

Long before they made it across the Atlantic, some US friends overseas introduced us kids to strawberry Pop Tarts. You can get them in UK supermarkets now, and they are vile, but my six year old self thought they were the food of the gods.

i echo plenty of these and will add Woolies pic n mix!

This is such a lovely thread. Walls Artic Roll was a favourite in my house but only on a Sunday though after the traditional roast beef dinner! Does anyone remember those Birds Eye boil in the bag curries? I used to love the chicken one with the sultanas in it but I was only allowed it once a month as it was considered expensive and junk food! I remember also my friend used to have those Findus crispy beef pancakes regularly which I begged for but we were never allowed those! In more recent times Cadbury’s need to bring back the original Time Out bar which had chocolate twirl in the middle. The current one has far too much wafer and not enough chocolate!

My mum used to buy Bernard Matthews Hamwich. You can still get them but the cheese is sort of scattered through the meat and not on the top anymore.
She also used buy Yeoman instant mash with bacon bits in it, and Heinz Noodle Doodles.
Thankyou to the PPs who mentioned French set yogurts, Saucy Sponge and Double Decker raisins. Memories unlocked!
Unbelievably at our school tuck shop they sold bags of toffee popcorn with peanuts in called Hanky Panky!

Cremola
Kunzle Showboats
Toast Toppers
Campbells condensed celery soup
Greens cheesecake mix

I put sultanas in a chicken curry. We love the bit of texture and the pop of sweetness you get.

Mint Cracknell
Ice Breaker Bar
and a Bernie ( Inn ) floater coffee 😋

My mum used to do this thing with layers of potato, cheese and onion, and a little bit of milk, then bake it in the oven. It was my favourite meal.

@GellerYelleri remember hammy lanky popcorn. What with that and sugar on rhubarb it’s a wonder I have any teeth at all.
toast toppers on a Sunday night.
my mums mince pie.

Birdseye super mousse and trifle eaten frozen meant to defrost
Rise and shine powdered orange juice(70)s
Lucky tatties with a 5p or wee plastic item in them(70s NE Scotland)
MB bars
Hapenny and penny sweets
Tudor,smiths,golden wonder crisps
Burtons tattie puffs all flavours😋

When I was at school I had school dinners. When i had a school trip my mum would walk to the nicer bakes that was a bit further away and get me two crusty white rolls to have.

i still live roughly in same area and will go to that same bakery when i want something from one. They do the most amazing cakes.

@snowymarbles Old school bakeries are a rare and wonderful thing.
We go to one for occasional treat lovely strawberry tarts when in season😋

Gino Ginelli pizzas and their mint choc ice cream which had these sugar crystals in.

pizza rolls you put in the microwave and came out hotter than the sun

Dairy milk when it used to keg in your mouth- it’s a disgrace now.

They are indeed - this one has been going approx 50 years….it has massive queues out the door on a Saturday morning.

we have another one near as well but this one’s the best!

Creamola Foam at my Nana’s house

Lucozade when sick

A tin of Grants mince and peas on a slice of white bread when I was off school sick. It was delicious and one of the very few convenience foods my mum would have in the house.

Everything was better before they changed to sweetener.

I remember Hanky Panky, it had chopped nuts on the pop corn.
