My mum used to put stork on our bread

[disintegratingdigestive]

Was that par for the course during the seventies? Or unreasonable?

KerryGold and homemade brown bread though my mother tried Outline and Flora for her Ryvita, which she ate with marmalade..

Was that the song for Vitalite? Well there you go, don't recall it being about marg.

Other song I recall well was for the Trio chocolate bat "Treeeee-e-o, treeeeeee-ee-o, i want a trio and i want one now." i think

Mind you we weren't allowed to watch commercial tv because it was a Bad Influence and we might Ask ForThings

Urgh my stomach is turning at the memory of stork :(
My mum always bought it and as a special torture remedy whenever we had a cough with a tickly throat she would make a concoction involving a spoonful of stork, dipped in sugar then drenched in vinegar and make us eat it :( it does actually help take the itchy away but she could have used nicer marg
I used to love going to Dgp's- they had "real" butter (Lurpak) :)
Another of my Mum's manky favourites was (sp?) Chiccory coffee absolute shite in a jar Anyone else have the pleasure of drinking it?

The answer to the earlier question about the butter mountain is that large chunks of it were packaged up in plain white wrappers marked "Intervention Butter" and flogged off cheap to deserving cases such as my (boarding) school where we ate it with toast or bread at three meals a day, often turning our tea into chip butties, washing it down with pre-sweetened tea from urns in plastic mugs.

Food of the gods.

Here is a picture of a vintage 70s <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=2.bp.blogspot.com/-X9ne24SJ5MI/TatE-ZUsh9I/AAAAAAAAA3c/1HWEbmDG-bE/s1600/IMG_0174.JPG&imgrefurl=www.sketch-mad.com/2011/04/when-my-nan-finally-lost-her-marbles.html&usg=__84GCvm7SqoQlWPMoz4_HWwvA33w=&h=478&w=640&sz=100&hl=en&start=7&sig2=ACvouFXAFFY0SvY-cRrpEg&zoom=1&tbnid=eZ4J3RZ2Gmt9XM:&tbnh=102&tbnw=137&ei=QNSoT_OTG6KG4gS799ynCQ&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dvintage%2Bmargarine%2Btub%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN%26rlz%3D1T4ACAW_enGB356GB357%26tbm%3Disch&um=1&itbs=1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">stork SB tub for those of us who remember it without fondness...

So, seven pages, may I ask what's up with Stork? Or the page number where it is explained?

I can't remember what we used, but my grandad used Outline on his bread and butter, vile stuff.

At 7 years old, I used to ask for a tablespoon of Stork to lick when I was playing, instead of a lolly or something.

I must have been a strange child.

Oh cozie that is horrid. You should try it again. Mmmm margerine lolly.

I far prefer spreads to real butter. They're just so much more convenient and they're not as salty tasting.
I usually like an olive-based spread, but sometimes we get good old Vitalite. Am I the only one who can honestly say I think Vitalite is nicer than butter?
The only thing I use butter for is cooking, e.g., scrambled eggs, soup and the very occasional baking I do. Olive oil and even sunflower oil makes tastier roasties and olive spread is fine in mash.

Ice Magic?

You can get ice magic , or a version of it

Saw it in sainsbos the other week

Me and DH were reminiscing about it

My Mum used to have Krona margarine. I wish they still made it, I loved the taste of it melted

I am allergic to dairy and my mum has always hated butter and margarine so we had vitalite growing up, and then switched to the olive oil spread (i cant remember the name but its the one with the people throwing olives about on the advert) when that first came out, it was like such a luxury. lol

Why would you put ice magic on yer bits? [innocent]

Back to things you put on toast; I remember me and my sd holding a intervention to get my Mum to stop buying 'Gold' it was just so horrible and slimy on toast.

You got bread! Posh.

Does anyone remember Golden Churn, when it first came out it's pot was the shape of an actual churn with a special lid? They stopped that after a couple of years though probably too pricey and fiddly to do or something.

We were raised on stork too.

We had our sandwiches in a bread bag as well. My brother always had marmite. I always had tuna mayo paste. I can't even look at it in the supermarket now!

I can remember my divorced parents arguing over money and my dad claiming poverty but my mum shouting "My Arse! You buy Clover!!!"

My mum is an anchor spreadable covert now.

We buy whatever is on special!

Oh also, my sister goes on about a cheese spread in a brown jar. Anyone know what that was? I don't remember it at all.

And, was my mum the only one to make sugar sandwiches?

My mum used to make my cheese sarnies for school packed lunch with Stork - it was vile, and what really pissed me off was that I knew damn well that she was having a nice, thick layer of Lurpak on her lunchtime sandwich. Grrrrrrr. Plus she would have a Club biscuit after her sandwich, and we only got a tired, wrinkly apple.

I tell you - it's a wonder I have turned out as not terribly well-adjusted as I have!
