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 )

M&S cheese and celery sandwiches.

I can’t eat bread anymore, but I’d risk it for one of those.

Walls vanilla ice cream...it was small and rectangular shape I think....also cabanas....chocolate with coconut inside

School gypsy tart! Best pudding ever

@MistyGreenAndBlue
YES!! The Little Chef pancakes!!
I tried to recreate these at home using shop bought pancakes and cherry pie filling from a tin. Alas, tinned cherry pie filling is now on the decline too*
Pack-a-pie pie fillings were wonderful; fruit puree re-shaped into fruit. The cherries and apricots were wonderful.

I always comment on these threads with coconut toffee crisps!

I've also seen toast toppers in b&m or similar.

Also I'm sure I saw Highland toffee bars in my local shop the other day.

Blancmange.
Sherbert with a bit of liquorice to dip in it.
Scampi fries.
Wagon Wheels (they're not the same now).
"Big Red" hot cinnamon chewing gum.
Snowballs — kind of like like tea cakes but rolled in coconut on the outside.

Bitza Pizza crisps in the 80's!
Tutti Frutti ice cream

I'm sure someone's mentioned it already but I LOVED caramel tart which they used to serve in primary school!

Is that the same as butterscotch tart. I saw it in a small bakery about ten years ago when on holiday and of course needed to sample it. Was delicious the bakery sadly isn’t close to where I live

I loved Findas French bread pizza it seemed to sophisticated as did Pizza Hut and Pizza Land where you could get 1/2 a pizza and a jacket potato meal

Does anyone remember spangles? It was like eating glass.

Yes, I remember Spankles, the blackcurrant one was my favourite!

@Brigante9 I remember this!!!!

Does anyone remember spangles? It was like eating glass.

If you sucked them hard enough, you ended up with a hole in the middle.

I choked on a spangle slid down and lodged

@whatth I remember them . My ex's sister has a summer job with the company that made them putting the lemon bead into the packets

Everest lollies

Gino ginelli pizza and their mint choc chip ice cream. I'm still grieving.

Frozen chocolate fudge cake - with the corrugated casing that you could scrape the buttercream out of when the cake was finished. Can't remember who made it.

Sara Lee!

No one has mentioned tinned vegetable salad ( have read most of the thread as it’s been a trip down foodie lane) . We had it once a year, at Christmas when we had visitors over for a salad tea. Salad at Christmas in the 70s was a treat! Vegetable salad was a mixture of veg such as peas, carrots and green beans in salad cream and I loved it.

That was Heinz. Someone mentioned it upthread. They also did potato salad.

Loved the mint choc chip ice cream, never found anything that compares.

It was me that mentioned tinned vegetable and potato salad way back up thread.

I would love to still be able to buy it, those tins made my Sunday afternoon tea when I was about 10.

Really basic 'value' potato salad at supermarkets tastes like the heinz tinned stuff! Tesco basic range or somewhere like Iceland.
Small cubes of mushy potato with just a bit too much vinegar in the mayo! Lovely.
