[DaveCinzano]

I ate dog biscuits.



And liked them.

The follow-up to her first hit single was always going to be a tricky proposition for Katy Perry

I used to love mithai when I was little esp coconut barfi, which i learned to make at school. I also loved jalebi. Jalebi - Wikipedia There's no way I couldn't eat a whole jalebi these days. I had some last week and it was so sweet!

i used to eat those loads as we had punjabi neighbours and their son, jaspal, was my brother's best mate. Like you, I find them far too sweet now. We also ate a lot of laddus

Lots of laddus means lots of celebrations

 

[Thimble Queen]

I can't even look in the windows without my teeth starting to ache

The savory stuff like kachori and chakri is also good.

I have a weird feeling that pink panther wafers are seen as a clean treat by erm... one of the clean eating factions.

Vegan?! Gluten free?! Can't remember. (Must google.)

Edit: vegan. And the company that made them has just gone into administration!

Ohhh. Can we still call the non-panther ones pink panthers anyway

Nobody has mentioned the "chocolate smoker's kit" that I remember from childhood.

A variant of the selection box - I only ever remember getting them around christmas anyway - Used to have a chocolate pipe and several chocolate cigars, brown shredded sweet coconut "tobacco" plus liquorice and fags. A load of novelty compared to candy fags and sweet tobacco!

 

[crossthebreeze]

Liquorice pipes with brown and red sugar in the bowl!

 

[campanula]

condensed milk on toast

 

[clicker]

Sherbert fountain dissolved in water for home made lemonade.

We also got the chocolate tools (in the saws and hammers sense, not the fnaar fnaar sense!)

Lot of chocolate bars, rich tea biscuits and gingernuts were our main snacks between meals.

Mmmm two rich tea biscuits spread with butter and jam, until they oozed through the holes and sandwiched together.

Plain chocolate digestives with a thick layer of butter

Reminds me of my grandpa, and I do still occasionally indulge

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Plain chocolate digestives with a thick layer of butter

I used to do that with plain digestives and a big wodge of cold butter. Lovely stuff.

Making a sandwich with them, digs as the bread with butter as the filling

 

[NoXion]

I dunno, would bread and butter sandwhiches count? We weren't rich enough to have much else too often.

The trick was to try and avoid the digestives crumbling as you squashed them together.

I recall eating probably more dry cat food than I should have been as well - Go Cat, Friskies etc. Mmm, rabbit flavour!

I used to mix birds custard powder with sugar and a bit of milk and eat it uncooked from a teacup. I also ate bits of raw bacon.

 

[moose]

My grandad used to dip ginger nut biscuits in whiskey and feed them to me, when I was about 3 or 4.
My grandmother used to fry bacon rind in lard, call it 'worms', and try to make me eat it.
My mother stopped me going round.

Oh god, i just remembered that I sometimes used to make myself a pint of custard!

 

[Lancman]

Sweets were rationed during the War but Mum always gave my sister and me a piece of barley sugar to suck to help us to get to sleep before the sirens went. Neither of us have many teeth left.

 

[Maharani]

I used to have butter and sugar on hot chapatti

Me too!!

 

[Thimble Queen]

Me too!!

Nothing is wrong with the world when you have hot buttery, sugary chapatti to nom on

 

[Maharani]

The Asian sweetmarts around there are ace. They got a lot of business from me in the 6 years I worked in the area

Ras malai...mmm

 

[Maharani]

Condensed milk sandwiches. Ice cream sandwiches. My dad has passed his love of the latter onto his granddaughter.

 

[Shirl]

When my mum and dad got back from the pub they would have deep fried battered potato slices. I used to stay up late so that I could have some too.

 

[Jackobi]

Jelly made with whisked evaporated milk instead of half the water.

Irn Bru and ice cream during the summer while visiting Scotland during the school holidays.

Oxo cubes, chewed on slowly.

 

[A380]

Wall's Vienetta with evaporated milk.

My type two is coming on nicely thanks for asking.

(BTW in China they sell individual Vienettas along with the ice Lollys. Worth getting invaded for.)
