Food from your childhood thats probably best left there
Reading threads about old foods always entertains me. Just saw mention of cremola foam.
I used to love it as a child, but even though i doubt its still made any more, i just wouldnt try it as an adult, as im pretty sure it would be revolting. Crispy pancakes would also fall under this. Anyone anything else from thier childhood they would be afraid to try as an adult for fear of ruining memories? |

Obviously mince crispy pancakes have lost a bit of their reputation lately, but I'd still defend the lovely cheese ones.

Spaghetti -Os, known on your side of the pond as Hoops. I was sick a while back, and Mr Maggie bought me some food I could manage while being super incapacitated.
Yuck. With a side of disgusting. Canned spaghetti (generally the regular, non hooped sort) was a childhood staple. I know your palate changes the older you get, but yeesh. |

Friend of mine has spaghetti hoops as her secret vice. Husband won't allow them in the house, she sneaks them in when he was off on trips.

Spam Fritters!
I couldn't touch spam now, unless it's to use as fishing bait. |

I'm sure there was a lot of stuff my family ate in the '70s simply because we knew no better:
tinned ravioli birds eye burgers evaporated milk tinned fruit salad fray bentos tinned pies. I think the lack of a freezer back then accounted for so much tinned food! |

Brawn and haslet. I was not fond of either of them.

Funnily enough, I recently bought a packet of haslet in Asda just out of childhood nostalgia. I should have left it there. Any kind of continental cured meat out of the Foods That Have Appeared In The Last 20 Years thread would have been better.

Sprouts. They can stay stuffed back in the childhood. Or slung into outer space. Ick.
