Bad food passions: I blame being brought up in the 70s

[Ormirian]

Custard creams.

I have a friend who loves strawberry jelly and carnation milk. Same age as me. DH retains a love for butterscotch angel delight.

Anyone else ready to confess?

spaghetti hoops

Salt and vinegar chipsticks crisps. I claim I buy them for the kids.

everything above! jelly with carnation milk is luvverly!
may i add hot dog sausages to the mix?

M and S blackcurrant sundaes
M and S minced beef in a tin - on toast with a poached egg on top

I think my Mum had M and S shares

piccalilli2 you'd love it at ours then, no one in my house likes them so they all get left in the cupbourds, i must have about 20 packs here

"Raw" jelly. Also raw pasta dipped in marmite. Also raw oxo cubes straight from the box. Wierd, and can be attributed to a bored only child being alone with the house waiting for my Mum to come home from work. (And I wonder why I have food "ishoos"). Actually I am also rather partial to a frozen chicken pie, but I do cook those first!

Cheese flavour Crispy Pancakes. Not that I buy them, but I do fantasise about them.
Pork pies. Gooseberry fool.

I remember unearthing a little box of dried soup from a cupboard and eating it with a wet finger. Can't remember what it was called but it was very salty and had dried peas.

Arctic roll

Ooh I love gooseberry fool. But gooseberries are so out of fashion I think most people under the age of 30 wouldn't recognise one.

Fish fingers

I LOVE gooseberries. my mum and dad used to grow them.

Orm - there is something of a gooseberry renaissance going on in the gardening world. Or maybe thats just my gardening world - I have bought 5 extra bushes this year.

I will make gooseberry jam and chutney this year, if it kills me.

butterscotch Angel Delight definitely !
dh gets sentimental about Findus Crispy Pancakes
Dream Topping
Vesta Chow Mein
and I also liked Bonios

gooseberries are wonderful

We have enough gooseberries on our bush to make ONE fool (serves 4 of us). It's the best day of the year.

I won't let my mum near them though- she makes her fools with INSTANT CUSTARD!!!!

yay to gooseberries.

I also LOVE prawn cocktail with synthetic cocktail sauce. Such a treat!

And that powder you whip up with milk and it turns into a butterscotch flavoured mousse.

Shit, most of these.
Plus Smash ( I didn't know you could "mash" potatoes til I left home )

Cottage Cheese

Big Mac's kept en masse in the deep freeze (more 80s than 70s, but along the same lines...)

Tinned beef ravioli

My mum was so lazy in the damned kitchen!

Sherbet fountains, but not the liquorice stick.

Waitrose white finger rolls, from the days before Waitrose was posh. With lemon cheese (not lemon curd).

Ye olde oak tinned hot dog sausages. Mmmmm mmmm

Maryann did you eat the bonios?

hang on aren't bonios dog biscuits???

Potato waffles of course!

I do mine with cheese and ketchup or with gravy. Yummity yum yum!

Findus crispy pancakes, like MAS's dh.

I have the occasional Pot Noodle too.

I was a 78 baby but I love love love blamange (sp?) and angel delight. Condensed milk on hot toast too.
