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?

wham bars - loved thoses

yes,Bonios are dog biscuits - I think I must've had something lacking in my diet

Birdseye potato waffles
They're waffley versatile
They go with -
Beans, bangers, bacon, burgers, fish, fingers, Fishfingers, eggs in, eggs on, gammon, steak, chops
Grill em, bake em, fry em, eat em,
Birdseye potato waffles, they're waffley versatile

I was an advertisers dream growing up! If the ad had a song, I probably still know it!

I personally like my waffles with spaghetti hoops and cheese! Nom nom nom! :o

i'm starving now!

Do you remember the Maltesers advert then?

"The theatres full, but I am not"

angel delight, smash, tinned spaghetti, mystery meat in a can...

mmmmmm

home made spam fritters, made by my dad

Stuff in a 'basket' scampi/ chicken etc at pub lunches

Treacle scones- I still dream about them

Fried potatoes made from yesterdays left over spuds.

Vesta beef curry. We were so cosmopolitan.

Artic roll.

cremola foam.

steamed pudding

spaghetti bolognaise from a tin.

I was a bit later than the 70s but I still quite like heinz 'macaroni cheese' in a tin... plus angel delight and those syrup sponges that heinz do. My kids like fricking SUSHI... Poor souls.

salad cream sandwiches

Ooh I used to nibble dog biscuits too - bit not Bonios, the ones all differnt colours and different shapes. My friend and I used to try to kid ourselves they tasted of banana, chocolate and strawberry See what happens when you deprive your children of legitimate snacky junk food? See????

We used to butter white bread cover it in sugar and then shake it off and eat it!

Artic roll - is it still available? Wow that was a pure luxury that we had on holiday in our caravan. You can see how spoilt we are now and money well that was sooo tight....offal - liver and bacon and lambs stuffed hearts - small portions(we were a very slim and healthy family).

Angel delight..yummmmm - have you seen the ingredients?

Oh God, sugar sandwiches. Or banana sandwiches with sugar on top.

Jelly Fluff (jelly with carnation milk whisked in just before it sets)

Mince with a tin of mulligatawny soup mixed in.

Artic roll and Vienetta

Lemon Curd sandwiches.

School puddings - some weird green foamy stuff with a blob of synthetic cream on top or butterscotch tart

(My DD eats Bonio's now....steals them off the dog. Poor bloody dog.)

God lemon curd I love that

Noddyholder my best friend Carol used to make me sugar sandwiches at her house - I always felt very naughty eating them as my Mum would not have approved, but they were lush!!

We weren't allowed anything fizzy so if I went anywhere with that I couldn't stop drinking it!

We didn't buy fizzy drinks. Too dear. But we had a soda stream!

really? we had the Lemonade Man doing deliveries - just like the milkman only with a massive lorry. I think we got through about 4 bottles of cherryade each week.

We were another house with sugar sandwiches.
They had to be made with plastic bread though, none of that freshly baked nonsense.

my mum used to give me a raw sausage to suck the inside out of if she was cooking some sometimes! 'sucking sausages' were my fave!
(cant imagine people giving them to their kids now - and my kids think it is a vile idea!)

I thought it was only my mum who served up jelly and carnation milk. Obviously not!
