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.

Nice!

Jelly tots 😄 I used to live tomato snaps but they are not the same . In tbe 70s and 80s they melted in the mouth with a lovely tomato powder coating them Now they are hard cresent shape crisps that hurt your teeth.

blue odd that,eh? Must say when I saw op’s photo I thought ‘shame they are milk chocolate I’m not sure il like them’ then immediately ‘that’s right there are so few of them in the packet I may need a couple’. I am absurdly looking forward to the hit of mint. Grin

I still have the same choices of breakfast cereal.

I had macaroni cheese for the first time as an adult on Thursday, and won't be doing so again.

@NorthEndGal thank you! I will give it a whirl this weekend. None of the recipes I've tried have risen enough, but I've always used fresh yeast... Maybe dried is the way forward?!

@SecretNutellaFix I came to say Hamwiches too!! I doubt they have any nutritional value and look pretty awful but taste sooooo good 😋
