i remember them! They came in little glass pots.
I still buy those little jars of paste.........but these days I go for the meat or chicken ones rather than fish which was the norm many years ago

In particular salmon paste was very popular............

Lamb grillsteaks or something like that - they were brutal. I think it was when Mum was trying out shopping at Finefare (I think that's what it was called).

Crisp pancakes, tried one once when I was younger at a friends house because my Mum wouldn't buy them - never again. I hated the wee slimy bit on the inside of the crispy crumb bit.

Most of that stuff you can still buy.

Toast Toppers are still available, I can buy them in Tesco, Asda, B&M and occasionally at a local farm shop.
I bought two tins of Heinz Beans with sausages just today.
Angel delight is still available and the major supermarkets even do their own versions (Tesco's version is about 17p a packet but uses artificial sweetener so is bloody awful).
Shippams sandwich pastes are still available in all the supermarkets too.
I have a packet of Bird's Eye potato waffles in my freezer.
Pot Noodles you can buy all over the place, although they are now better for you which of course means they don't taste anywhere near as good.

However, you don't seem to be able to buy Cremola Foam anywhere these days.

Dalepak Minted Lambsteaks are actually quite a tasty alternative to burgers, currently two packs for £1.50 in Heron Foods.

Crispy pancakes are now made by someone else rather than Bird's Eye aren't they?, but they are still available.

Thanks for that. Was bugging me trying to remember who made them.

ETA Cremola foam has been rebranded Kramola Fizz apparently

Brussels sprouts. I hated them as a kid, but decided to have another try recently. They were still bloody awful.

I've seen it in sweetie shops in Callander, Pitlochry and Crieff. Never bought it though, was scared I'd be disappointed.

You probably would be. It just seemed to be flavoured Andrews Liver Salts

Oh and I would highly recommend using toast toppers as the filling in toasted sandwiches, bloody tasty.

I've never tried it personally but take a look at this. It's from 2010.

How could I forget those faggots? I'm sure my mother still buys 'em. Horrible things.

It was.......when I was thinking of foods just then I was mentally walking around our old local Finefare! I can't think of banana yoghurt or Cremola Foam without picturing that shop (blue and orange wasn't it?).

I love those. Bought some from Aldi last month although they were called Frikadellen rather than with an R at the end.

Ha! Now that would be an alternative to Irn Bru for when one is hungover.

Sherbet, I used to buy quarters of it. I haven't bought it since I don't even know if they sell it like that anymore.

Also, Sherbet Shandies - they were lollipop things on a stick and were yellow or pink. I loved them and would buy them all the time if I could find them still.
Oh my god, that's what they're called! I've been describing these to people for years and no-one remembers them and until you said I couldn't remember what they were called. They used to sell them in the local post office when I was in primary school.

I guess they don't make them anymore but they were delicious.

I haven't had any penny sweets since I was a child. I did buy a box of cola bottles a few years back and made the mistake of eating half the box in one sitting. I don't know if it was the sugar or the chemical colourings but my head didn't stop pounding for a few hours.

Chips cooked in a chip pan with lard. Loved them when I was a kid but would probabaly drop dead of a heart attack if I had them now.

That's what I thought, but I saw some in Kimbles in the St Enoch centre in Glasgow the other day.

Indeed, it appears to be back in Scotland but not down here. I should have stayed in Edinburgh
