Allergies so no fruit for me
And bread.
That's what I was thinking. I don't see why cottage pie or chips or sunday dinners can't be cooked in the US anyway.
Second is my Mums stuffed hearts, once again all cooked from scratch she even made her own stuffing, I didn't get it very often as it took a long time to prepare and she had to be in the mood to spend an afternoon in the kitchen, not a pleasant job cleaning pipes out of hearts
Jiffy Jellies, this was a few bits of fruit and a dollop of jelly in jar with a metal lid.
Nux bars, Bar Six, Tiffin, sweets yes but I mis 'em.
Tub butter, that was butter that tasted like heaven.
Callard & Bowser assorted toffees (especially the brazil nut flavour ones)
Both discontinued.
Admittedly I balk at the price they charge over here for Oxo cubes but I've just had friends come over who've brought me about 4 years supply of them.
Plenty of places do "proper" fish and chips here, mainly because seafood is so plentiful. And, they even serve it with malt vinegar.
Other things my gran made; treacle toffee and parkin - for Bonfire Night. When I was a kid we as a nation celebrated Bonfire Night more than Halloween.
They've been celebrating Guy Fawkes Night, complete with huge bonfires, fireworks and a fun fair in our area since Saturday. I made parkin which we ate in our garden where we built our own mini-bonfire.
Was that the pudding that used to bake its way up through the sauce? If so, I think my mother treated us to it, or something similar when I was a kid.
Yes that's the one. Mum used to make it on Sundays We all loved it
