Not seen one in the shops in years.


Did you all act like you were at a rave when you found out what you were having for dinner, with a neighbour walking past the house (speaking to camera) stating "they're  having chicken tonight"?

Fray Bentos definitely still around. I usually invest in a couple in the holidays when the missus heads up north with the kids to the in laws for a few days and I can't be arsed cooking

If you had ever visited the factory where FB is produced, you would not touch one with a barge pole - literally.

Also, Spangles.

I cant believe the Cuban leader would lend his name to a poorly produced product.

Uruguay not Cuba

Blobs.

Jubilees. Which were big pyramid shaped lumps of coloured flavoured ice.

Do Iced Gems still exist?

Remember Jubilees well.  You’d end up with a face coloured the same colour as the jubilee

Does anyone remember either of the following?

1. Steak Out Savouries poppadums in bags, You got plain and green chilli. They also did 'balti chips' with strong garlic, the best beer snack ever

2. Golden Glow Bombay Mix

Growing up in the 90s I swear my mom's culinary expertise stretched just about to pouring various jars of that stuff over chopped up chicken breast!

When I worked for Mars in 1999 I was gutted to discover they still manufactured and sold spangles in other European countries. BASTIDS!!!

My own favourite was the balti chips, but the green chili poppadums were also a top class pub snack. Wish you could still get 'em.

Chicken in a basket was another pub favourite.

Southern fried chicken another which has disappeared
