Aibu to ask you what weird and wonderful food/drinks you remember from your childhood?

[DannyOD]

Mine are :-

Kellogg’s Rise and Shine, a very strange powdered juice drink that we had on special occasions’ instead of actual juice.

Vesta ready meals, particularly the Chow Mein which had crispy noodles on top.

Toast Toppers - weird sludge resembling baby food.

Oh and Boomy lollies - they had 3 fruit shapes on a stick - lemon, strawberry and orange I think!

For the person missing Cartoonies - you get hello panda biscuits in b&m which are almost identical!

I loved cremola foam and fiendish feet yoghurts. We had ice magic on top of ice cream cones dyed red and green.

Remember when you used to get mini pot noodles. I think they were for young children 😬

A sister drink to Um Bongo, called Moonshine. A limited edition soda stream flavour called Dracula’s Blood. Fizzy Lizzy chewy bars.

We had the flan with quickgel but tinned pears were used instead of mandarins.
Rounders ( mince and potato in breadcrumb).
Tinned prawns for Sunday tea
Frozen supermousse.
Tropical Kia-Ora
Moonshine squash
Salmon pate in my sandwiches

Sports biscuits and Royal Scot biscuits.
Dripping on toast with salt!

Sterilised milk in the bottles with a beer bottle cap. Very sweet and rather nice with porridge.

That weird "orange juice" you could get via the milkman. Probably not orange juice at all, though it had bits in the bottom. Again in small milk bottles.

Liquorice root, the actual plant.

@Avebury I bought some a couple of months ago at Home bargains!

I remember the orange juice. The bottles were the same size as school milk bottles (one gill=1/4 pint)

Pacers
Treets
Super Mousse
Wickers Prawn cocktail crisps (only ever saw these in vending machines at the swimming pool)
Skips - sweetcorn relish flavour
Sarah Lee - Pecan Danish cake thing

My mum used to make cheesecake from a box and put tinned mandarin oranges on top, we were well posh

Mint Bingos
Tinned steak and kidney pud
Nesquick, strawberry flavour with a scoop of Cornish dairy ice cream
Callad and Bowser nougat with rice paper on the bottom
Potato Puffs
Miniature Hovis loaves
St Ivel cheese triangles in lots of flavours
Cracker Barrel cheddar
Pan Yan pickle

Texan bar

Beef dripping on toast

Brilliant question, OP! I remember Angel Delight (the butterscotch one), SodaStream cream soda (used to run home from school to have this!), pink blancmange (my mum had a rabbit-shaped mould for it and I used to hate it, but ate it to be polite!), sugar mice, peaches and evap, fruit salad sweets - it's funny how food can evoke such great memories!

I remember our first H.E. lesson at school was toast with one of those grim cans of toast topper on

I used to love chocolate lollipops. They were a hard candy type lolly with a very chocolatey flavour. I have tried all the online sweet shops but can't find them.

My primary school did a rusk biscuit with a blackcurrent jam and whipped cream on top.

Findus crispy pancakes

Hedgehog flavoured crisps

I love this thread!

Pink semolina at school.
He-man jellies (we used to keep the moulded cases they came in).
Um Bongo
A horribly gloopy chicken sauce thing that came in a tin. We always had it when went camping. That and corn beef. Bleurgh.
The mini frozen pizzas that were 10 to a bag.
Smash (never at my house but my friend's family always had it as a treat with aforementioned pizzas and ravioli).

Food (or the choice available) has come a long way...

I'd forgotten about Quattro. I remember throwing an empty can of it over my back fence and it was still there years later (no I'm not normally a litter bug). I didn't realise it had been banned.

Chupa chups do a chocolate and vanilla lollipop

Findus crispy pancakes, Freshbake shepherd's pies, tinned meatballs in gravy that resembled dog food, Sara Lee frozen pecan pie.
Fiendish feet I had forgotten all about!

We used to have bags of frozen sticks of cream that mum would get from BeJam before it became Iceland. Just pop a couple in the cream jug in the morning and by lunch time you had a defrosted jug of cream. Or if you were my dad, eat them like lollies straight from the freezer.

Buttered weetabix for breakfast

Bread and butter soldiers dipped in strawberry yoghurt as a post school snack.
