Those twisters, those spiral-like sausages that Jamie Oliver got banned.

Also the flying saucers (with the sherbert in) and space raider crisp.

Please someone say you can still buy them, they were strangely good. I'll go get some tomorrow if they still do them ”

I remember some little breadcrumb balls, I think they were chicken but they had ketchup in the middle.

Can't believe people haven't had jelly. I don't eat it on it's own but I've been to many parties that have involved vodka jelly.

Liver! Only thing my mum cooked that I dreaded!! haven't eaten it in over 25 years.

One thing I would love to see again is the Frys chocolate bar with 5 different fruit flavour fillings, haven't seen them in years.

Someone mentioned that space ships with sherbert in, I had some again a few weeks ago, still taste good!

For me it's:

Jelly (was boiling water added to it and then it had to 'settle'?).

Mousse made from a packet (Angel delight?).

Toast toppers (are they still made?)

Potato waffles.”

Angel Delight for me. I used to try and make myself a mousse and a milkshake out the packet, the milkshake always set and the mousse always stayed runny.

I remember attempting to make a triffle from scratch when I was about 12. Took out my mothers good chrystal bowl set that she recieved as a present. Poured the fresh boiled water directly into the large chrystal bowl. It took my mum a good few months to discover her large bowl snapped clean in 2 back in the box where I got it!
