food that you ate from your childhood that you wouldn't eat now and the ones that you would/do.

No-Faggots,god knows why but I loved them.
Liver.Dont fancy it at all 30 years later.

Yes-Angel Delight,still occasionally have the Butterscotch one.I would still eat Potted beef in a sandwich and probably really enjoy it.

No to liver sausage, tongue, mince and tatties, (especially turkey mince) any kind of paste sandwich. Thinking about any of it makes me shudder 😖

I’m struggling to think of anything I would eat from my childhood tbh. Oh actually that chocolate sauce for ice cream that goes hard when it hits the ice cream. And the really cheap choc ices from my gran’s freezer. We also add cubes of spam to special fried rice when we make it at home now I think about it, which admittedly isn’t often.

Wouldn’t eat
Fray Bentos tinned pies
Heinz bangers and beans
Tinned tomatoes on toast
Arctic Roll
corned beef
nestles tinned cream

would eat
salad cream
Viennetta
vesta beef Italienne (for nostalgia)
school dinner spam fritters
Heinz tinned steamed sponge puddings

Oh I used to love Whelks (willicks) we ate them with a pin just as they came .
Also had tiny little pears from the greengrocers -hard and dry as rocks but kept us working on them for ages. Wouldnt touch either now

I would although pay anything for a proper fresh bakery items from the home bakery we went to. Fresh Belfast baps ,plain loaves with properly burnt crusts ,paris buns ,sore heads ,treacle sodas . Some of them you can still buy but they are poor shadows of themselves.

Love a fish finger though with home made chips done in lard. With a couple of slices of white bread and plenty of butter its the food of the gods.

Ooh I will hunt it out

Wouldn’t eat-
any of the paste sandwiches,
salad cream,
boiled potatoes- not new potatoes the plain old ones,
spaghetti, linguine or tagliatelle,
noodles,
baked beans,
liver,
smoked haddock cooked in milk,

Would eat- potted beef sandwich,
cottage cheese and jam on toast,
lasagna sandwich,
roast chicken, salad and mashed potato mixed with hummus,
cucumber in vinegar,
tinned salmon fishcakes with cottage cheese and the above cucumber,
cheese and coleslaw toasties,
pancakes with butter and sugar,
cinnamon toast.

From my childhood wouldn't eat:
Golden Syrup sandwiches

Spaghetti hoops (tried them recently and they're weirdly synthetic tasting)

Ditto Vienetta

My DMs Sunday Dinner. Everything overcooked. When I visit now I'm always away on the Sunday 10.30am train so I don't have to stay for lunch (I don't tell her that)

I would eat:
Heinz tinned sponge with custard

Faggots (they're called Savoury Ducks where I'm originally from and only nice butchers do them, so increasingly rare)

Animal biscuits (?) Small animal shaped biscuits with thick ridged chocolate

Tripe - no thanks
