Treats from my childhood.

[GlobalDisaster]

When I was a child, my Mom would often take to to the local department store for a special treat in the 50's style cafe.
The treat? Coke float in a sundae glass ,complete with doilly and long spoon; and sometimes an iced bun spread thickly with butter. Delish! Knocks spots off cupkcakes and bottled juice which seem to be today's standard fayre.

A scoop of ice cream in my glass of lemonade
Raspberries with squirty cream zapped in the middle of it
Rhubarb sticks dipped in sugar

Treats from my mum:
Pancakes smothered in lemon curd
Iceberg sundaes from Mark Toney (vanilla ice ream with mint and chocolate sauces, 1 of those spiral wafers with chocolate in the middle and an after eight in the top!)
Angel Delight

To those of you who look back with nostalgia at sitting outside pubs in the 70s, you'll probably enjoy some of this thread.
