Food From Your Youth

My dad used to work at Kelloggs at that time. He brought shit loads of that home. The grapefruit and pineapple ones were particularly nasty, that made you pull some contorted faces.

But the blackcurrant ones were very nice. I remember eating a few Findus Crispy pancakes minced beef. Sometimes still half frozen and burnt on the outside. My mum was a hopeless cook. Bird’s eye frozen Victoria sponge or Artic roll. Boil in the bag cod steak and parsley sauce. Birds eye quarter pounder beef burgers. Sometimes we were given 50p to get a burger from the prairie Dog in altrincham or a coffee ring from Ann’s cake shop. Child abuse diet for a kid but I never complained. If we went camping there was always a yellow tin of Plumrose hot dogs.

Nector the stuff from the Wooden Spoon, I can remember it being on a corner facing Wilde's Pet Shop before it went posh and was 'built' into the bus station.

That's right. IIRC, It looked like 3 terraced houses knocked into one and painted white. Was never the same when they moved.

Not exactly a food but who remembers Kellogs Rise and Shine? This was a powder you mixed with a pint of water, full of vitamin C and orange flavoured. It helped me through many a hangover back in the day. Just take a pint to bed with you and drink it everytime you woke up with a mouth like the bottom of a birdcage. You had to remember to take a spoon with you to stir it though otherwise the powder sunk to the bottom.

Probably because it was mostly orange flavoured sugar with added vitamin C. Oh, and more E's than your average rave; )
