I'm saturated. So here's a lighthearted thread.
What food takes you right back to being a kid?
Mine might be salad cream sandwiches on cheap white bread! Yum.

It's got to be Monster Munch and pasta with grated cheese.

Cherryflamingo · 07/06/2017 15:19

Milk. Before Thatcher took it away that is Grin

Banana sandwiches! I hate them now. Condensed milk. Bread and butter. And oxtail soup strangely enough.

Glitter - not... not together? Right??!

Dandandandandandandan · 07/06/2017 15:20

Oh and mine - angel delight!

Omg op we used to have salad cream sandwiches.

Angel Delight and - separately - vegetable rice. And that chocolate sauce that froze on contact with ice cream. Ice Magic?

ImADingleDangleScarecrow · 07/06/2017 15:23

Pink or green custard. You'd have to pay me to eat it nowadays though.

YouWouldntLetItLie · 07/06/2017 15:23

And any amount of bread.

When I think of the days when going on a diet meant entire days of wholemeal bread, beans and jacket potatoes instead of declaring your house a carb-free zone, I get very nostalgic.

Sunshinegirls · 07/06/2017 15:24

I always wanted that magic chocolate sauce! My mum wouldn't by it though.

@Dandandandandandandan haha no! And butterscotch angel delight is the best thing ever in the world.

My fil often makes a selection of puddings when we go for dinner. There is usually a jelly, blancmange (!!!), rice pudding, Angel delight etc.

I hate most of them.

Also heavily pregnant at the moment and have been craving that weird chocolate custard you used to get at school. Even though I hated it!

Raspberry ripple ice cream (when it came in blocks & actually had ripples) with squeezy raspberry, strawberry & chocolate sauce on - the jif (or jifesque) squeezy containers shaped like the fruits.

glitterglitters · 07/06/2017 15:27

Oh god yes! Block ice cream. And those teddy bear wafers!
