Heinz tinned ravioli.

DH said his is Findus Crispy Pancakes! I never tried them, as mum always turned her nose up at them (but would buy the tinned ravioli 😂).

Anything that's super sweet. All I can taste is the sugar and it makes me feel queasy. Also can no longer eat deep fried food (gallbladder removed a few years ago).

Strawberry pop tarts, way too sweet now. Though I'm still a sucker for the chocolate ones😁

Pot Noodles. Butterscotch angel delight.

I worked as a student in AE Brighton in the 80s and a chicken curry pot noodle was absolutely amazing 🤩

Bread and dripping

There was also a tinned meat thing - definitely not spam and we used to have it fried with egg and chips

Bacon Grill ? I was talking about it to DH the other day. He had never seen it. He had such a deprived childhood…

Frozen individual chicken pies. I loved those things. But they are filth.
