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 )

Cheese and tomato flavour Pot Noodle. The best hangover cure ever.

Also Entemanns cakes

@Smokeahontas

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

I remember these and they were amazing! Just disappeared though

Those small round cheese and tomato pizzas that are sold in bags of five or six.

Also Findus used to do a frozen French bread pizza that my dad used to buy all the time, in the days when pizza was quite exotic (or at least was in the Northern town I grew up in).

@Inastatus

My mum used to buy ‘Rise and Shine’ which was a powdered concentrated orange juice in a packet that you mixed with water. Also Smash potato.

And the blackcurrant one made with hot water when I was ill.

@Smokeahontas I remember baked beans pizza! Loved it! Heinz also did baked beans with lumps of cheese in around the same time - Cheezy Beanz or something similar it said on the tin.

Cheese puffs, is it these? justamumnz.com/2014/02/03/super-quick-easy-cheese-puffs/

Does anyone remember, an Apple dumpling you could get in a tin! Or a large tin, with a mini chicken inside with small dumplings

I remember kunzel cakes, they were amazing!

M&S used to do a chicken with an orange sauce tasted delicious

And the original Special K cereal so much better than the ‘new improved recipe’

Top deck shandy
Quattro (was the first drink in a can with a one piece ring to open I think!)
Fruit polos and spangles (was allowed neither for fear of choking?!)
Toffos
Pacers (vile!)
There was another mint which was smooth and didn’t have a polo hole but almost did, that was the bit that went first if you sucked them. And they had lots of sweetener in and you’d have a dodgy a stomach if you ate too many

Galaxy buttons with a giraffe or owl on. Best chocolate ever.

Glad others remember supermousse! I only tried raspberry ripple, it was banned so fast in my home!

I remeber Ice Magic too.

No recollection of Vesta at all.

Oh don't get me started on the sweets of my childhood... Frys Five Centres (though I am comforted by the fact that you can now get both the orange and the raspberry flavours). Icebreaker. Ovaltine chocolate. Country Bars (OK, raisin and biscuit Yorkies are a reasonably close alternative).
Also as PP have said, Toast Toppers and spaghetti hoops with sausages...

OMG Kunzel Showboats! They were utterly delicious.

One thing I remember that no one else seems to is individual frozen peach Melba.

They were in a little tub with a cardboard lid. You put them in your lunch box frozen and they were ready to eat by lunch time.
It was half a tinned peach on top of a raspberry ripple flavoured mousse.

Someone else must remember them.

Fritos Corn Chips - granted from a Californian childhood, but why, why, why, given all the snacks on offer, Corn Chips are still not on UK shelves.

Although the Fritos 'brand' does have its own Fritos Bandito (mascot) who sings a catchy tune (truly he does) corn chips don't need to be made by Fritos.

Just some corn chips please......

My mum used to make a thing she called Irish stew, but was nothing like actual Irish stew. It was potatoes, carrots, onions and (unbelievably) fillet steak, not sure how she cooked them but they kind of all melded together. It was total comfort food when I was a child.

I also used to love supermousse! The chocolate and nut one was the best although I can't stand chocolate anymore. I think they brought them back at some point not that long ago but they were a bit shit. Heinz tinned sponge puddings were also the stuff of dreams.

My husband still pines for Sarah Lee double chocolate gateau.

Not from childhood but I used to buy a chocolate and hazelnut mousse with fresh cream for the student shop at University. Came in a round tub. Never seen them before or since, wish I could find them again!

our school dinners were gross. I hated nearly all of them but there was something called cheese pie that I liked but it was more like a quiche than what was described in the OP.

i remember supermousse
it wasn't as good as angel delight or butterscotch instant whip though

also superwhip which was a like a cross between cream and ice cream. you would serve it with apple pie but I can't remember how it was stored. It came in a bowl shape tub a bit like vitalite margarine.

my favourite nostalgic lunch that can still be replicated is sardine and tomato paste on toast

They might still do them up North, but haven't seen for years here - cheese savoury stottie from Greggs. I used to buy them cheap from the big Greggs in Fenham, it was like a bulk buy place!

Also veggie fingers in school, looked like fish fingers but had peas carrots sweetcorn and cheesy sauce inside.

I was just thinking about when pepperami did a version with bread around it, anyone remember those? They were so dry but I liked them.

I remember philias fogg crisps and snacks! So good!

So many memories on here. Loved supermousse. Also used to love those pink yoghurts with fake cream on the top. I'm sure they were from Iceland. DH is always going on about paloni, Iv never found it but will check Morrison's when I next go (we don't have one nearby). I also loved sunnyD when it first came out and remember it being in a newspaper that it turned a child yellow

Instant Whip

Cremola Foam

@polkadotpjs

Also Entemanns cakes

That's the ones! I was thinking they were Sara Lee but you've just jogged my memory!

Nosyboot, I used to say I was "vegetarian except for pek" as a kid

@Smokeahontas

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

I remember these! Sooooo good!

Entemanns cake memory unlocked! I'm so hungry now
