Food From Your Youth

I remember jars of toast toppers, ham and mushroom etcetera. You just spread them on toast and a few seconds under the grill. Quick and tasty.

Tins Paul, tins; )

My toast toppers story.
When I was a nipper I went to a birthday party for a schoolmate.
Before going my mum made me toast toppers (pretty sure ham and mushroom).
Started feeling sick at the party.
Day of the triffids was on tv. Just as a triffid attacked somebody, I spewed the semi digested, tinned spread all over the place which then triggered a communal vomiting.
My mate and I still laugh about it some 50 years later.

Oh right, I don't. Anyway, a tin was sufficient for 3 slices of medium warbies but only 2 slices of crusts...... I contacted Heinz a few years ago to ask if they could start selling them again...... Still waiting.

As a kid in the 70s I remember having a dinner consisting of tinned new potatoes, tinned marrowfat peas and a tinned burger in gravy.

The potatoes and peas were just about palatable but the tinned burgers.....I just can't describe how disgusting they were!

There were jars too, may have been called something else but the same format. I'm sure there were jars

Farex (a bit like ready-brek). Loved the stuff.

We also used to have fried egg and chips for tea. Just egg and chips! I haven't had or seen that meal in ages, In fact I think I'll see if the Missus can rustle it up for tea tonight :-)

Farex? Wasn't that baby food?
