fish fingers

when I was about 12 the Findus van left it's back door open and when it turned the corner they all fell out.
half the street was living on them for about a week.

can't look at them now.

Chips covered in lots of Salt and Vinegar...

Real fat proper chips, not those frozen fries that all the chip shops have these days

As others have said; sugar sandwiches.
Also tripe and onions, cow heel, pigs trotters, baked marrow, bread and dripping (better on toast)
cornflakes, arrowroot biscuits (from off licence), sausage toad (toad in the hole), chocolate spread.

Drinks; Ovaltine, cocoa, american cream soda, tizer, jubbly (frozen), sarspirella.

has anyone said bogeys, if you say you havnt done it, we no you are lying.

i still eat them

Banana and sugar butties

Findus crispy pancakes

alphabet spaghetti

A couple of things I can't locate anymore, white pudding and fruit pudding.

White is definitely the right name, but as for fruit pudding I'm sure that's what it was called. It was placed in a frying pan with clear plastic round it, which was then removed sharpish to stop it melting in the pan.

I'd still eat them if they were available in England somewhere.

Can you still buy pigs trotters ???

The reason I started this thread was because we had a boiled ham for dinner and as I sliced all the fat off I couldnt help trying a wee bit and it reminded me of pigs trotters...less the hair on the toes....:Cool2:

They always have to be prepared by yourself though.

Potted Hoch. I'm not sure if you still get it?

Goblin is a manufacturer, the burgers are very similar to meatballs but cheaper and nastier.

Potted Hoch, OMFG, utter filth. lol

(I think the real spelling is actually potted Hough)

It's the leg bone with a bit of meat left on it which is boiled, they then skim the fat off the water, let it congeal and serve it to you, something like that, I've tasted it and it was one of the worst things I've ever eaten, I think it dates back to the times when the poor couldn't afford real meat, so they mate a kind of meat paste out of anything they could.

VOMIT!

French toast with sugar sprinkled over it.

A slice of toasted Big T bread with a poached egg in the middle covered in melted grated cheese.

A Barrs meat pie...but seeing as they contributed to the worst case of E-Coli poisening in the World, I don't really miss them that much

When I first started work, when I was fifteen, I worked as a van boy delivering bread to shops. At the first shop each morning I would have my breakfast: two mars bars and a bottle of coke.

I love mars bars and coke, it kinda all fizzys up

Anyone else love eating dry bread and milk?
