What food/drinks did you enjoy growing up that you wouldn't touch today?

[Trothetoy]

Pot noodles

Sugar sandwiches 🤢. We didn't have much money...loved em at time, now 🤢...the crunch between teeth makes me shiver thinking about it

We had a weird mix of homegrown organic vegetables and homemade cakes plus processed stuff like breaded processed meats, packet sauces and a weird bright green cheesecake (grasshopper flavour?!). I also used to eat an entire packet of biscuits every day. Always been skinny but would avoid like the plague now!

Cream soda fizzy pop 🤢. Would have guzzled and fought over that as kids though.
Others mentioned....I still love angel delight and dream topping 😉

Creamola Foam, Angel Delight, Crispy Pancakes, powdered orange juice, sugar sandwiches, Cream Soda ice cream floats - all figured large in my childhood. My teeth want to leave me just thinking about it😱 But cold mince sandwiches at granny’s 🤢

White blotting paper bread
Coke full fat - or any cola
Quality Street

All those feckin' sweets.

There's more amalgam in my mouth now than enamel.

There's a meal in my home country: cabbage in tomato sauce. Kind of sweet. Absolutely horrid.
When the kids complain about what I cook I always mention this abomination and tell them how lucky they are not to have to eat it.

Brains faggots are rank. Proper Welsh faggots are the food of the gods.
Mostly it's stuff that I can't eat now because they don't exist any more.
Does anyone remember Cheesies (cheese and mashed potato in breadcrumbs) and Chicklets? Also the people who made Sandwich Spread made a cucumber spread that was amazing in a sandwich with cheese.
I couldn't eat tinned salmon now.

Instant whip. We weren't posh enough for Angel Delight (which I have tried as an adult and is rank).

Vienetta, which my nan bought for us and was the height of sophistication as far as I was concerned.

Bernard Matthews processed turkey. And potted meat in those little jars. And sandwich spread.

Remember the jars of Heinz sandwich spread when they first came out? I used to love that on my school packed lunch.

You can still get it and I decided to try it again a couple of years ago. It was awful, and I ended up throwing the rest of the jar out. Never again.

Chitterlings. My Dad loved them, and used to share them with me. I don't think you can even buy them now.

I agree about Sandwich Spread. It's horrible now. Artificial sweeteners, perhaps?

Cheese footballs - a delicacy at Christmas.
I bought some a few years ago, tasted them and binned them. Vile

Faggots

Tinned spaghetti hoops

heinz tinned ravioli

Chicken paste sandwiches 🤢

Heinz tinned ravioli
Potted beef
Arctic roll

1970s beef burgers, and frozen fish cakes. God knows what was in them.

Dandelion and Burdock
Parma Violets
Sherbert Dib Dab
Pink mice
Sugar sandwiches

Sunny Delight. I don’t think the recipe is the same now but I still wouldn’t touch it again. I like my teeth not dissolved.

Potato waffle with a square of that neon orange American "cheese", topped with a fried egg.

Strawberry angel delight.

Findus crispy pancakes.

Turkey twizzlers.

Sunny D.

Tinned pilchards on toast. I was the only one who could stomach it, so I got my siblings' helpings when my stepfather wasn't looking. I can't even stand the smell of it now.

Bread and dripping!
I've turned into Jack Sprat - just can't eat fat, although I'm OK roasting potatoes in the dripping or duck fat

Used to love a Sara Lee chocolate gateau. DH bought one the other week when I sent him out to buy a dessert and it was rank 🤢
