Bygone Snacks

[Bruno Tapas]

There was'nt too many treats after the War.....so we made our own snacks...my personal favourite was Dripping on toast and a sprinkling of salt... a healthy food guru's nightmare...but really delicious!

I still enjoy this hence the bad ticker, and if mum sent one of us seven kids to the corner shop for 1/4 spam we knew dad had a good week at work

These used to be a standard Saturday night snack, all sorts of flavours! How did I miss these snack legends falling off the radar?!??

Does anyone remember when Toffee Crisp did a limited Christmas Pudding edition?! About 15 years ago at least now I'd reckon.

Some of the sweets on here I'm gutted have now gone to the big sweet shop in the sky - totally forgotten about Banana Toffo's (or indeed Toffo's in general). Could go a packet of them right now!!

It took me AGES to remember what these were called and to find them, but my god they were good!!

Yup, I used to LOVE them.

I do miss the simple pleasure of going to Video Box or Blockbusted to rent a film (as opposed to downloads, Tevo etc) and get my Phileas Fogg and Cola cube snacks. Sat or Sun night, recovering from a Friday, walking endlessly round the aisles picking a film and harmlessly disagreeing with the missus/mates about what film and snacks to get. Ahh, got some nostalgia there.

Does anyone remember these. We use to get them from the school tuck shop back in the early 70's for a couple of pence a bag

Cheese and Tomato flavour were lovely

Ah cola cubes!

Anyone remember the name of the video rental shop on Ladies Mile Road on the parade nearest the church?! Proper treat to go there back in the day!

Not sure. I used to go to Tomorrows World on the dials, still there with it's overpriced pouches of maltesers now though!

Almost posted the Fangs/Bones ones myself but was sure there was another one that I couldn't quite remember, 'Bats' or something maybe.

Oh, and 'Cheese Savours'.

*Rummages around in distant memory*

"Cheese savours, are made with real cheese, you get a lovely lot of savours, crisp cheese savours, a lovely lot of savours in a bag!"
