NOSTALGIA and disappointment - what food fromyour childhood no longer tastes good

[RolandButter]

article here for me its sandwich spread. Boy i loved it, although ti looks like set chunder with its teeny tiny carrot flecks; it had a certain piquancy.

but no more

I don't have food nostalkgia for school dinners. Tinned spag bol, smash and spam were always vile.

The puds were good, though. Although I don't think pink custard would excite me quite so much these days.

moi aussi

Roland snazzy thread was about 2 and a half years ago I think. Was in the days when I was called kittylouise .

Definitely had snazzy in the title I remember that because it made us all laugh.

I loved that magic instant set choc ice cream sauce.

Also, my gran used to buy big blocks of concentrated orange juice, which she used to put in a big bucket and reconstitute with water, I used to love licking out the inside of teh container - the concentrated juice was lovely. I can't imagine wanting to do that now.

Also, treid my first big mac when I was 12 at gatwock airport. It was such a wonderful treat. Again, a childhood spent in the back of beyond meant I was easily pleased.

jammie wagon wheels were best ever.

expect they taste stale too now...sigh...

my trolley will look like i am shopping for a nostalgia evening tomorrow...look out for my shopping list...nice ham...ice magic...pink wafers...

i am as i think i use the word snazzy too often

Wagon wheels are now vile. Stale tasting biscuit covered in brown wax. Ew.

You're the snazzzmeister

Oh god, DH bought some of that IceMagic about a year ago. DDs had it once, then even DH agreed never again - they bounced off the walls for fucking hours!

The round Bernard Matthews turkey roast things.

Christ they were lovely. Better than my gran's belly pork (urgh scream etc).

ah...lucky charms...anyone going to america in the near future please bring me some back..although they will probably taste stale too...

Wagon Wheels. I coveted them so much as a child because my hippy parents didn't give me chocolate bars in my lunch box. I had bloody Harvest crunch bars or some such shit.

I had a wagon wheel sometime last year. Rubbish.

at boarding school the worst meal was scrambeld egg( imagine for 300 kids) with TINNED toms, brown bread and marmite

oh oh bernard matthews turkey drummers!!they were v yum.

now i boycott bernard for his turkey cricket shenanigans a while back

Think took the piss out of you on that other thread re snazzy as it was the word of choice of Leslie Crowther on the Price is Right ('look at that snazzy cocktail cabinet' with artfully draped bikikied bimbo on top of it) circa 1986.

Do your kids give you The Look yet when you use naffola words or are they still too little (but it will come).

angel delight - but i think that was more to do with my mother veto-ing it, therefore making it highly desirablebas a forbidden substance.
Have you ever left it out in a bowl overnight? Jeesus, it turns into the scariest rubbery gunk. Like the stuff used in cavity walls. That alone, put me off eating it as an adult...

Frosties - far too sweet nowadays.

a strange sliced meat product called ''ham sausage'' which was the mainstay of all sandwiches for me from 1975-1985...

I also used to eat the dog biscuits - Spiller's shapes, i think they were...

however, a thing which has stood the test of time: Ambrosia tinned rice pud...

Urgh tinned toms - look like what is taken out when medical biopsy is performed and a big internal growth has been rmoved.

LUCKY CHARMS - I loved them. Were they not banned in the UK because of making kids act like coked up fiends?

Who eats spam fritters btw? That advert makes me and dp lol.

Oh dear I am now reduce to laughing at adverts and also telling people about the fact I laugh at adverts.

Christ what happened?

my kids cringe when they hear what i have done at work wiht other people's kids, that the other people's kids quite like

i buy dh a tin of ambrosia rice pud for a treat, bless

GetOrf, rofl at the image of you licking out the orange juice container

I remember sitting in Lewisham McDonald's with my friend when we were about 11, eating Happy Meals purchased entirely with 1p and 2p pieces They just loved us in there.

Farley's rusks. Used to love nicking my little brothers and had the idea they were like slightly crunchy cakes. Tried them as an adult (a student, actually) and they taste of crumbly nowt.

Joanne , nmy mate used to butter digestives and sprinkle sugar on top
no no no

( but delicious)

havent tried since 1976
