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 )

Just remembered Sara Lee blackcurrant cheesecake kit. A foil sachet of biscuit crumbs, one of blackcurrant jam/topping and another cheesecake powder that you whisked with milk I think. Would be easier to make from scratch I reckon!! But I loved my DM giving me that job while she made the Sunday dinner.

I loved this!

I’m craving tinned fruit pie filling now!

In my primary school we had something that was basically hard boiled eggs in a cheese sauce topped with mashed potato! I honestly think about it all the time but can't bring myself to make it 😂
I bought some Findus crispy pancakes recently and a Fray Bentos tinned pie - both were predictably awful!

I think you can get mini things like this in a supermarket at Christmastime? Little rum ball chocolate things covered in chocolate sprinkles. Definitely in Lidl! I love them

No fucking way!!!
This is a real thing?! It's crazy but having thought about them a lot I have never looked it up online 😂
I think I could only really make these and eat them if I was completely alone in the house...so it might have to wait a while!

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!

Loved Supermousse! It was a treat in the freezer

I LOVE This thread!!
My grandfather used to buy this powdered mix that made sorbet - it would freeze really quickly and tasted amazing. Often we would get all the different colours to make "rainbow sorbet" and I can remember the taste as if I had just eaten some. I have tried to find it so many times but it is as though I imagined the whole thing 🤷‍♀️

Haunted House lollies. They were just like Mini Milks, but flat lolly shaped. They had a purple wrapper, and there was a print of a haunted house on the actual lolly. Also, Jubilee Lollies in 1977. They were read white and blue striped. I suspect the blue colouring is banned nowadays. They were fab, used to turn your tongue blue!

@Smokeahontas

Baked Beans pizza! No one else ever remembers this :(

Oh wow, yes, Dh and I loved them about 20 years ago and still lament over the fact that they stopped making them. Why?!?

Here they are!

You forgot the best bit about haunted house lollies. On the wrapper was a picture that was black but a ghost appeared when it warmed up.

I was just trying to remember what those were called. Loved them - creamy but vaguely minty, and the print was of a range of things - a vampire, a skeleton, a ghost etc. Part of the fun was not knowing which picture you were going to get.

I remember the school cheese pie. Open topped like a flan. My absolute favourite.

School semolina too. Never had any like it since. Although I liked the birds whisk and serve semolina too.

Anyone remember The Little Chef jubilee pancake? Cherry pie filling and ice cream. Gorgeous. I want one now.
I also remember the lemon meringue crunch you made from a packet. I think you can still get it. I used to love that too.

But my biggest regret is Cheesies. Anyone?
Might have been Findus - not sure. Cheese triangles in breadcrumbs. My mum used to fry them. I think I could have eaten 50 of those easily.

My elderly neighbour used to make me a hundreds and thousands sandwich when I visited. I LOVED them.

Turkey dinosaurs and potato smiles!

Dancakes Morrison s sell them Dh stocks up on them every Christmas I also got him some as part of his gifts

I remember cheese puffs! But ours were more like a smaller Greggs pasty in appearance, with a short of cheesy spread type filling. They were yummy!

God, not thought about them in years!

Processed cheese, spam fritters, crispy pancakes (want all 3 now )

It IS delicious! 😄

@GiveUsACoffee

Does anyone remember a luminous green cordial? It was tropical flavoured, I think. My mum would dilute it and send me a cup in my lunch box every day. It would always leak, but it was delicious.

Was it Quosh? I bloody loved Tropical Quosh. I remember an 80s advert for it, aliens saying they can't survive without it. 'Any drink can quench a thirst but only one can Quosh it. Help us, if only for the sake of our children'. I found powdered Quosh in the last few years which was adequate, but the colour was wrong Probably because they're not allowed to put nuclear waste in it any more.

Someone up thread mentioned tinned burgers. My mother used to serve us Goblin Tinned Hamburgers far too frequently during school holidays. My sibling loved them but I would've been happier to starve.

Horlicks Tablets. Delicious!

I used to love Horlicks tablets from the chemist, and lollies that were whistles !

Crispy pancakes but they are different now sadly
