To need 5 minutes peace from politics

[Sunshinegirls]

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.

Sugar butties ( no wonder I have so many filling) and if flush condensed milk butties. Corned beef hash on day before pay day and chippy meal on payday. Ice cream soda with the pop coming from the pop man.

Gingernut biscuits and weak orange squash on the beach. Aussie childhood staple

Pink wafers- my Nan and grandad would always sneak me extra when my mum wasn't looking.

Ritz crackers spread with primula cheese and topped with a pickled onion. Classy addition to the buffet for every family gathering I can remember.

My Granda's scones.

Meanies pickled onion flavour 5p crisps

Egg in a cup with toast from a plain loaf

Stovies (my Gran made hers with minced beef)

Lemon puff biscuits yuk!!! But my (late) parents made real lemonade and ginger beer, was lovelly, cannot stand any of the shop stuff now way too sweet.

Sunday dinner with a healthy serving of rice.
Instantly takes me back to childhood. I miss it.

As a kids i must of run about a lot with the amount of sugar consumed, even with a healthy orange my mum would dip in sugar. A banana sandwiched into two slices of bread and again a generous spoon of sugar. And apples dipped in syrup.

Oranges dipped in sugar! Sugar and banana sandwiches!! Just reading that would send nutritionists today into catatonic shock at the thought of all the added sugar!

And thanks to @Keepthebloodynoisedown I have added pink wafers to this weekend's shopping list. And they will be MINE - all MINE!!!

Who else has a mouth full of old black fillings from childhood?

My mum use daily to dip my dummy in sugar can you believe it?

Haha! Yes, my mouth is full of fillings but my head is full of happy food memories! Can you imagine a similar thread in 30 years from now?

Carrot sticks and hummus
Rice cakes
Falafel

Does anyone remember the apple flavoured Ninja Turtle pizzas.

Yuck, makes me think of childhood though.

Even sugary milky tea in a bottle, I must of been about four. The introduction of the fridge freezer and findus crispy pancakes and packs of 10 space invader pizza.

I have all my black fillings replaced with white ones though. Unfortunately they are probably whiter than my teeth.

My mum was very anti sugar when I was growing up.
All it did was make me want it more !
