Food From Your Youth

[Mancitydoogle]

My Mum was a terrible cook and in fairness she had to work and bring up two lads on her own, but she’d try and make every quick meal when we were kids including
Vesta packets, Findus Crispy pancakes and these



unfortunately she burnt most meals.

I always preferred Instant Whip to Angel Delight for some reaso.
I wasn’t a foodie back then!

Findus crispy pancakes seemed to be the ‘go to’ for Mams that weren’t great cooks, my girlfriend wretches at the thought of them because it’s all her Mam ever did, her face is a picture when I tell her what we had to eat and tell her she was an ungrateful little woman, and we’d have killed for just one !

Still eat both of them from time to time.

Never look at a Fray Bentos pie after you‘ve let it cool.

Instant whips, artic rolls, Birds-eye crispy pancakes, Vesta chow meins. cheap tomato and cheese pizzas from the butchers, Heinz toast toppers, fry ups....kept us going in the mid to late 70s.

Anyone remember something called Haslet? It was a sliced cold meat, but what kind of meat i couldn't tell you as it didn't look like ham or beef or anything. I think it may have been sweepings of all different meats processed and pressed together. Another leftover from the war and rationing probably. It was fucking horrid.

Tesco in Warrington still sell it. Can't be much (any) meat in it judging by the price.

If we're in sweets, Bazooka Joe's pink round chewy with a shit cartoon strip.

Very popular early 70s along with Carona pop.

Toad in the hole is still one of my go to meals today, with onion gravy obviously.

One thing that’s stayed with me is fish fingers, still have a fish finger butty most weeks.

Lashings and lashings of vinegar over crispy chunks of snow white cod.
