Heinz spaghetti

[Flannelfeet]

Oh the 😲 😱. Does anyone actually eat this? I have never had it since I was a wean (child to non Scottish). I do like the ravioli, but only if I have a wee craving for it back and forth. My 14 year old lad asked me for spaghetti hoops the other day and it reminded me of spaghetti hoop toasties back in the 80s..wonder if that tastes as good? 🤔

Had a bit of a notion for toast and spaghetti..it was so sweet! Never again.

I've always wondered why the tomato sauce with hoops tastes different to the sauce with baked beans......

Spaghetti hoop toasties and old Lucozade when I was unwell (glass bottle and orange foil!) The best medicine ever! Saw me through measles, chicken pox, mumps and whooping cough!

Is it that bad? Even with a wee bit cheese and black pepper? 😆

Seriously need to make one to see if its the same as when I was wee. Lucozade, the red one 😋. Hangover cure for me now but definitely the no well juice for me. Have tou ever heard of licorice imps? Loved those too

I liked it as a kid. Tried it again recently and it was vile. Sweet and tasteless.

That is a good question...I now wonder that too, 🤔. Maybe thats the reason half the weans from the 80s were wild? Happed up in suger 😆 🤣

Did they not make a spaghetti hoop and sausage version too?

I preferred the long spaghetti to the hoops as the sauce tasted different. Just that little bit nicer/less sweet. Probably my imagination though.

Edit. Ooh I should have read the article first. Sad news 😩

Imps.nooooo vile and reminded me of rabbit droppings .
Glass bottle lucozade in cellophane wrapping getting that as a bairn you knew you were ill.

😆 🤣 😂. I thought they made a short thin version of it too? Wasn't a thick spaghetti version, short tjin version and the hoops? 🤷🏼‍♀️? I really want the hoops on a toastie now 😩

I'm non Scottish - so don't understand if the term 'wee craving' is some sort of medical issue, a fetish or something else.

I loved Imps. Got a hankering for Heinz Spaghetti Bolognese again during lockdown. It is so satisfying.

Awww what!!! Loved them(the packaging was cool too and the wee multicoloured breath fresheners too that tasted like flowers). Im still the same with my wee girl..aww your no well? Il get the lucozade and a wee magazine for you. 🤣. Last magazine cost me 8 quid 😩 robbery.

On toast? With cheese?

A hankering? 🤣

£8 for a mag for a bairn🤯
My Beano or dandy would've been 5p.😁
The gist of the tradition is still there.

I have the wee tins of spag hoops and sausages in the cupboard right now. I think I got them in B&M in a 3 pack. They do the wee tins of beans and sausages too. Just enough to put on buttered toast, topped, as OP said with cheese.

On toast. I'll only bought it a few times - I didn't get addicted or anything 😄. I confess that when my eldest was a young child and I wanted to make a quick tea, I'd stick a thawed out cube of spinach (to ease the guilt) into a half tin of spaghetti and serve her that on toast. She ate it 😄

I love it! Especially with cheese grated into it and bread and butter (has to be butter, not margarine) to dip into the sauce. Not the hoops, they definitely taste different as a pp said.

I could just eat some now that I've started thinking about it, actually. 😄

Ken eh..pure robbery 😔. Costs a fortune for a wean to be aff the school no well 😒. Back in the day I would be happy with a shot of my dad's oor Wullie or the broons when I was no well.

I’ve a tin in the cupboard now. They come in handy for a quick lunch.

Right, now im thinking of the wee alphabet spaghetti and peppa pigs,bob the builders and all the wee shapes...on toast, with a sprinkle of cheese and black pepper 🤣😋

I love the sausages in the tins of beans. I know they're made from lips and arseholes but I don't care. I'm also a fan of Richmond sausages in sliced white bread. I'm a true gourmand.
