This was the absolute king of foods when I were a lad.
Wednesday afternoon around 5 o clock. Fred Dineage teaching kids to play cards in the quiz show Gambit - Steaklets, chips and peas on the plate.
Food heaven.

Did you get the cheap anorak?
I tell you what I remember (and I haven't seen it lately) - Angel Delight. The club could so a special Angel Rangel Delight version. Also went through a lot of Shiphams sandwich spread in the old school lunchbox. |  |

You have to love the old days before the namby pamby eurocrats made manufacturers tell punters what they were eating.

Used to like those small round pizza's you'd get in a bag, usually 5 in a bag. Whack on of those on for tea after Grange Hill, jobs a goodun!
One of my earliest childhood memories, getting pushed around Prestos in the shopping trolley eating a bag Roast Chicken flavor KP Wickers. My mum would then have to pay for the empty bag at the checkout. They were the best crisps in the world. |  | | |

Spam fritters and chips followed by Bakewell tart and custard was one of my favourite school dinners, worst was toad in the hole followed by either tapioca or semolina, bloody awful.
We still got free milk in those days - special days were when Jobs Dairy used to deliver them with straws loaded with strawberry or raspberry powder to make milkshakes. Happy days. [Post edited 14 Jan 2019 15:34]

They still do all of those.
Like my old style food... butterscotch angel delight with chocolate sprinkles on.
Trios are with the penguins and clubs still.
Still waiting for Texan bars to come back !! |  | | |

Whatever happened to that banana crunch pudding? You got hot banana custard topped with some crunchy things. Felt like winning the lottery getting that for pudding as a kid. Does it still exist?
Angel delight is still going strong, I was in one of those shops for expats who miss British food on Saturday and it had an angel delight section! |  |

My dear old Nan, god bless her, used to make me tinned corned-beef and tomato sandwiches which I'd happily wolf down. One day she said she'd run out of tomatoes and would I mind just having a corned beef sandwich. "Sure probably taste even nicer" I thought. Eating the naked corned-beef without the freshness of a tomato was like eating a rancid salted cable-knit cardigan. Never been near the stuff again. [Post edited 14 Jan 2019 15:59]

Yeah but the sell by dates were probably June 1981. When I first got to London as a single guy in Jan of '79, I made some raspberry Angel Delight. It was frikkin terrible, tasted like diesel, never tried diesel but it had a bad chemical taste. That is saying something from a kid who grew up on 1960's American chemically enhanced desserts. First and only time I had it. Was quite keen on Findus pancake thingys. |  | | |

Top left - top trifle. The mouse was half decent, too.
Had to be careful with the Findus French bread pizza - if you were impatient the roof of your mouth would take a week to heal. | |

Oh yes, the crispy findus pancakes were great with ketchup once they had cooled down a bit. Otherwise that molten cheese filling could do the same damage as a McDonalds apple pie. | | | |

There used to be some pretty awful pies from Telfers who I think were based in Fulham. I used to like Lyons Individual fruit pies washed down with a Lemonillo. |  | | |

You used to eat white dog turds?????
I know living standards were a bit lower in the 70s but that sounds like a tough childhood - especially for a future chef.
Snacks - I remember KP Fangs, purchased from a vending machine at Walton Swimming Pool on the school trips.
Is Ice Magic still around or is it some sort of designer drug these days?
Edit: not KP, Smiths:

I vaguely recall a short-lived disgusting drink called Quattro, which was sort of a rival to Lilt. I don't recall seeing Lilt recently either come to think of it...
Crisps used to be Smiths or Golden Wonder, now its pretty much walkers everywhere you go.
Scampi flavoured fries
Sweet cigarettes (what the hell were they thinking)
Chicken kievs were the height of refinement for a while, then they brought out mini chicken kievs and our family went mental...chicken |  |

Quattro - yes, I remember that. 4 fruits (flavourings) and shed loads of sugar.
Who can recall Pacers, the strange bastard brother of the Opal Fruit? | |
