Foods you used to eat as a kid, but don't any more.

[BensGrandad]

Orange Juice from Worthing clinic and cod liver oil liquid, although I still take a cod liver oil tablet everyday but not a spoonful of the liquid. Also my gran used to make her own cough mixture up for us for during the winter months.

 

[Return of the Rev]

Bone and vegetable broth

 

[Fignon's Ponytail]

I used to eat snails from the garden as a kid, and also had a thing for salad cream on chocolate digestives....
My mate at college used to eat Pritt Stick!

Sandwich Paste (came in tiny jars)
Potato Waffles (although I'm tempted to buy some now)

I used to love Hazelnut yoghurt until nut allergies stopped them being made.

Brown Sugar on bread.

That was a fave of mine to. Are we from the same era when the cream at school dinners was that awful synthetic stuff?

That's the secret with all these suet Puds. Boiled in a cloth, usually a piece of old bed sheet tied into a parcel with string. I obtained my Scout Cookery badge with a Spotted Dick boiled in a billy can over an open fire at Small Dole Campsite. Circa 1957.

Same here,we used to have a spoonful of malt as well,malt was too sweet for me so swapped my malt with my sister for her cod liver oil.
Another favourite was Farracks
