To ask for your nostalgic rubbish food?

[PlayerUno]

At primary school, we sometimes used to have "cheese puffs" for dinner. I'm fairly certain they were just puff pastry and cheese but I can't replicate them. They were kind of like a cross between cake and a Yorkshire pudding inside, and looked like a scone.

Cant find a recipe that looks right on google. I'm aware they have no nutritional value but I really want to taste these again. Anyone else have a silly childhood food like this?

(And if you know what I'm talking about and have the recipe I'd be eternally grateful )

Spam

Kipling treacle tart

These were things that for some reason we only had on our annual uk self catering holiday in Cornwall

Toast Toppers
Pink Panther Bars
Ringo's

Faggots!

Pop Tarts but they don't seem as nice now so I don't bother. Maybe they were never nice though.. just sweet.

these look similar to your cheese puffs

I know exactly what you mean! I remember them with beans and chips. It was more like a cheese sandwich spread than actual cheese inside. Delicious! I really miss sausage plait. I know it would be easy enough to make but I want the school one. I also miss school gravy. Evidently it’s still as delicious as my son loves school gravy but resolutely refuses mine.

@DeepaBeesKit I introduced my 3 to Spam - they love it!

Particular brands of fish fingers. Sometimes international shops have them.

Toast toppers and Findus Crispy Pancakes, which are not the same without the salt and sugar content they once had 😂

Sara Lee double chocolate gateau

I loved sausage plait it was my favourite school dinner, we had cheese twists at school in sure it was just dairylea wrapped in puff pastry though !

@Pearlpink real faggots from a good butcher are a thing of beauty! We had some venison ones recently, sooooo good

Corned beef hash. Like a corned beef cottage pie. Absolute heaven!

And pink custard

Macaroni cheese pies.

At primary, we had lumps of iced cake with pink custard. Just the best.

Heinz sandwich spread. I mean, it looked like vomit but it tasted amazing.

There was something called supermousse when I was little. I think it was stored in the freezer. No one seems to remember it. I think we had it once or twice, I loved it, my dad looked at the E numbers and decided not to buy it again!

Beanies at school - beans in scotch egg type thing it was the school face

Oh supermousse I remember, raspberry ripple was my favourite 😋

Findus crispy pancakes. They were absolute crap but the ham and cheese ones were so yummy!

Thank you for reminding me about faggots.

Also Frey Bentos pies, spam fritters and drunken university Pot Noodles. All bloody awful now but not in my memory.

@Brigante9 omg yes! Pink custard and cake I can taste it now! In a similar vein I’d like to add iced tray bake vanilla cake.

And Arctic roll

Also Vespa/vesta (can't remember) ready meals. The curry had what were essentially Quavers sprinkled on top. Loved them.

Oddly enough dsd was reminiscing earlier about the fact school lasagne was better than any version she's had since.
Wham bars. Not the modern version, the type that removed wobbly teeth with loads of popping candy.
Roast potatoes and cheese. I'm fairly sure my adult attempts taste better than the primary school version but they don't seem to hit the spot in the same way.
