Snacks from your youth that the PC Health and Safety Clean Eating Brigade now stamp down on

[Siouxsie]

My nan use to fry bread in the lard bacon had been cooked in and sprinkle sugar on it....It was lovely
That sentence is wrong on so many levels

As a treat she'd bring pork scratchings back from the pub, mmm gnawing away on salted fried pig skin watching the Hammer horror double bill on BBC2, highlight of my week ...I loved going to my nans!

hot chocolate powder mixed with about 1/4 of a mug of evaporated milk.

 

[Siouxsie]

Nesquik and Angel delight..... I know you can still get them, but all the sugar and nice chemicals have been stripped out of them.

Oxo cubes, chewed on slowly.

That just sounds rank tbf.

 

[DaveCinzano]

That just sounds rank tbf.

Clearly you are not an alumnus of The SAS Survival Handbook

My dad used to fry bacon rinds for us as a snack. We called them swords.

We also used to eat yoghurts with loads of sugar added.

 

[Siouxsie]

I think oxo cubes would make me gag.... surely they are too salty to digest without retching.

I hollowed out my copy to stash weed in. Though I think I had two... I don't recall mention of oxo cubes though. They might attract bears. Though Lofty would probably just eat the bear.

white bread, thickly sliced, toasted to cancer-related shades of burntness and spread thickly with the dripping+jelly from a beef or lamb roast. Food of the gods and good value, too, because you can still taste it when licking the congealed fat off the inner surfaces of your teeth several hours later.

Chocolate yoghurt - not seen that in going on forty years.

Viscount biscuits - only ever had them at my gran's.

 

[Stanley Edwards]

Snacks was generally Breville sandwich toaster inventions until it got fucked by all the caramelised sweet things and attempts to 'clean' with a knife.

I don't think the OP banana/cream/sugar thing is too unhealthy in small doses.

My personal favourite was spreading loads of butter and honey (or, Golden Syrup) on a couple of slices and toasting under the grill until it started going crispy. Or, just butter with a generous sprinkling of soft brown sugar. Brown sugar sandwiches untoasted if feeling lazy.

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

We didn't have any evaporated milk, so this is single cream.

Thanks for that!

Think they were called candy or chocolate sticks when i was a kid - but the candy ones still had a red tip to look like a lit cigarette, and they were still in a box - so we all new they were cigarettes but not quite as blatent as those boxes.

I definitely remember the candy cigarettes having an end with a red tip as though they were lit. Thats the one. you're right the box was quite low key.

 

[KeeperofDragons]

My grandad used to do us what he called bombay duck - jam sandwiches dipped in battery, fried then sprinkled with sugar - yummy

Did it work?

 

[Wolveryeti]

I remember being able to buy candy cigarettes. Did they get banned for grooming kids to smoke?

 

[Thora]

I used to love milk jelly . My mum had a really creepy rabbit jelly mould.

 

[mrs quoad]

Did it work?

It sort of separated.

No one has tried it yet, due to the toddler being an unimaginable arse this evening.

Sure it'll be fine, though. All layers have, at least, set.

.

My dad did the same thing - we called them Snakey Bacons

 

[May Kasahara]

I used to love milk jelly . My mum had a really creepy rabbit jelly mould.

We had a rabbit jelly mould too, I loved it. Orange jelly rabbit on a bed of lime jelly grass

I can't stand jelly now, but maybe I would like it if it was rabbit-shaped.

 

[clicker]

We had a red , plastic rabbit jelly mould, but I always thought the resultant rabbit looked dead as it had no eyes. Nothing says Sunday afternoon like a dead jelly rabbit and tinned Nestle cream.

 

[Ceej]

Fry up in butter and lard and fried bread fried up after the eggs and bacon. Lush.

 

[xenon]

Biscuits. All the biscuits. Occasionally a sugar mouse or pick and mix, sweets AKA swizzers according to my dad. Jam sandwiches.

 

[krtek a houby]

Chocolate yoghurt - not seen that in going on forty years.

Viscount biscuits - only ever had them at my gran's.

I'm sure Yoplait still do them? Must have a look on next visit...

 

[krtek a houby]

Oh, this stuff; the original, that is. Not the de-sugared shite that's around now.

 

[eatmorecheese]

Dulce de leche laid thick on white bread. Argentina childhood thing..

 

[19sixtysix]

Bread, butter and golden syrup.

 

[clicker]

Poking chocolate fingers through the bars on the electric fire to melt...ending up with dry brown blobs all along the metal.

 

[SpookyFrank]

A banana sliced down the middle, loaded up with chocolate chips and marshallows then microwaved to c. 400 degrees.

 

[dessiato]

I still like deep fried bread, with a deep fried egg on it. Nowadays I prefer either whole grain mustard or soy sauce on it.
