Which things from your childhood have you eaten as a adult and really enjoyed?

[sam221]

I know I have been glutinous but hear me out. I did a online shop,had it delivered today and got a 6 pack of Skips crisps for free. I have not had Skips crisps in many many years and was delighted to receive them. On a scale of 1 to 10 how terrible am I, to have ate all 6!?!!! It helps I was watching tv...! They really did melt in my mouth and tasted the same as I remember them.

I was very disappointed with Angel Delight even my favourite butterscotch flavour. But you’re not the only one who licks monster munch, OP!

recently rediscovered the fish finger sandwich

I'm glad i'm not only one who eats crisps weirdly! Potato smileys were fab with just a sprinkle of salt(reserved for when my parents were away!) Don't know why but ketchup has never really tickled my fancy-although mayo is great!

Ice magic. Love it!

A chocolate angel delight takes me right back to childhood. Back then, it would be split 4 ways. But now I can eat the whole thing myself. :)

The same goes for Fray Bentos steak and kidney pies. Still tastes exactly the same as when I was a kid.

Strawberry pop tarts.

I make the old school cake & it takes me back!
Bikers crisps, although I'd say they taste better now!

Angel Delight (butterscotch)

I loved Heinz potato salad when I was a child. In small orange tins. Wish it was still around lol

Brannigans beef and mustard crisps..amazing!!

Usually get them in the pound shop, ate loads when I was pregnant!

Pink wafer biscuits too! My mam buys them for the kids and always says "they're your mammys favourite so share them!". Totally full of additives so being a good mother I just eat them all

Arctic Roll and Mint Viennetta

Potato waffles. Bought them for dd, she hated them so I've scoffed them all in a series of 1980s themed lunches while shes been at school

Heinz tomato soup, Dm and I shared a tin a few weeks ago, with buttered white bread. It took us right back.

Fireball gobstoppers. Ace.

Have the urge now for suet pudding now as nowhere seems to do it anymore.

Went out to a all-you-can-eat buffet and the deserts were all classic school dinners.

Bananas in custard, apple crumble and eaton mess. I mixed the eaton mess in with the Babanas and it was heaven.

I've had cola cubes and pineapple chunks, recently, just like they used to be.

Magic stars, I remember my mum used to always have a couple of the fun sized packs in her bags when we went on buses. Don't taste quite as good as I remember though

I love bananas and custard. I'm going to have some tomorrow now

Crispy pancakes. I enjoyed them so much I decided to make my own, the kids preferred the premade ones.

Random, i came on to say crispy pancakes! You can't get them as easily now. They scorch your mouth though!

"I actively avoid all Cadburys chocolates now because they do taste significantly worse."

me too, they are full of palm oil and the cocoa content has gone way down since they were taken over by that American company

I know I have been glutinous but hear me out.

Did you really mean that OP, or did you mean gluttonous? It's not the same at all!

I'd probably still be happy to eat sausage and mashed potatoes to which I'd add tomato ketchup which I would mix it in with the potato.

Sweet.wise, red packet of Toffo (not sure you can get them any more) or Caramel bars (red and God striped wrapper).

Sea shantys 😻

Fry's Peppermint Cream - yum..!

Tomato snaps
Frys Turkish delight
