Food I/we used to (happily) eat.

[Mrs M]

Apples dipped in golden syrup (my version of toffee apple) .
Sausage rolls.
Findus lasagne, (when I was a student).

 

[Dirk]

Grey Pays and Groaty Dick (it's a Black Country thing).

Grey Pase and Groaty Dick (it's a Black Country thing).

Sounds like a medical condition .

Groaty Dick

It is, apparently "a dish people will eat" with groats that "look like birdseed" and you "get from a pet shop"

I used to hate liver growing up. I love it now.

I still eat rabbit when I can. We used to have it a lot when I was young and I've always loved it. Haven't had it since I was in Tenerife last summer though.

Crispy pancakes are still around. I had some a couple of months ago. Not as nice as I remember from when I was a kid.

Vesta curry was about as exotic as it got for us. I discovered the Indian take away when I was 16 and never looked back!

I remember we used to have tongue sandwiches for Sunday tea in the 70s and early 80s. I'm not sure I'd eat them now but we loved them then.

I remember the brightly coloured spooks biscuits. They don't exist now, probably because they were so full of chemicals we're all luck not to be dead.

 

[Oldbloke]

Tinned Carnation Milk with sugar, frothed up with a whisk
"Camp" coffee in bottles
Best end of lamb
Luncheon meat in tins
Tinned corned beef (until the typhoid outbreak in Aberdeen after which we didn't eat it for years)

Sounds like a good dog. Mine when she was younger caught me 2 rabbits and a partridge, and they were definitely my dinner.

Just back from a walk. She came over the brow of a hill with something in her mouth. Bit difficult to see. She ran up to me and dropped a rabbit at my feet. Really good as she was struggling with the entrails tripping her up. she should of course have put the rabbit in my hand, although I will let her off as I was a little slow at offering my hand. Must have been dead at least a week.

Mr M and myself used to buy these years ago to accompany our Piesporter wine.

I love tripe - but then I am a pork butcher's daughter.

As a child, I used to eat raw sausage. Then it was suddenly banned. I have a vision that at first my mother didn't realise the perils of letting me eat it.

Another tripe fan here; as were all my family. Funnily enough we also have a butchering background, my Grandfather and two Uncles had butcher shops up until the mid 80's. I wish I could replicate the way my mother cooked it; more like a thick soup with onions and potatoes through it. Delicious! . As is liver and kidneys. The only thing I never took to was tongue, and I still don't eat it.

I have these in the freezer currently. Two fit perfectly between two slices of bread. Mmmmm
We used to have pizza triangles that cooked in the microwave and vesta chow mein.
I still eat all the other crap from my childhood. Kind of explains my waistline ;-)

I forgot to mention cockles. We used to get some on the way home if we'd been out for the day and I loved them. I keep toying with the idea of buying some but I don't know whether I'd still like them.

I've got some in the freezer as well.
I saw them in Tesco last week and couldn't resist, they still taste just as delicious.

Cats malakies and dogs tobakies.
Well that's what we were told we were getting for dinner but we never did.
Anyone tried it?
