Potato waffles with those tiny little frozen pizzas
Heinz ravioli (I still buy a tin of this occasionally, forgetting how horrible it is) Dry Ready Brek Ready Brek is quite difficult to eat when it's dry. You have to completely avoid exhaling, otherwise it goes everywhere. I have no idea why I used to eat it dry, I can only assume that I was a strange child. |

Any kind of tinned meat, tongue, liver, yuck!
And I doubt I'll ever eat tinned fruit and evaporated milk again but I liked it at the time. Straight out of the cupboard, not even chilled. |

Dripping on toast with a sprinkling of salt. Loved it as a kid in the 50s. Wouldn't want it now.

Lettuce........that plain boring iceberg lettuce that was the mainstay of 'salad'
wouldn't touch it with a bargepole now None of that fancy foreign dressing stuff.Tasteless tomato, couple of slices of cucumber, bit of cress, salad cream and something horrific like luncheon meat. A boiled egg was usually also involved. |

I love iceberg lettuce it's great in burgers, tacos, pasta salad, sandwiches.
Really refreshing and full of vitamins and tasty too, i think. |

Something called Sandwich Spread which looked as though somebody had vomited over the bread.

Tinned fruit cocktail. I mean, seriously? With those sickly artificial cherries? Whatever made supermarkets think that anyone might ever like it.

Liver casserole.
Yuck, used to chew it and put it in my pocket then flush it down the loo. Why mum didn't try it coated in flour I don't know. |

I know it was/is probably crap, but I loved my childhood food
Findus crispy pancakes, and Birdseye potato waffles (a waffly versatile ![]() ) for dinner, was a rare treat, but most welcome.The tinned fruit cocktail, I liked that, with Walls ice cream. Birds Angel Delight, good stuff. But my most favourite was faggots, not the mushy things in gravy one can pick up at the supermarket, but proper solid brick like things only a Butcher sells. I only eat them cold, the rest of the tribe had them warm, but I didn't like them that way. Faggots & Mash, with mushy peas, was a Saturday night staple for many years, with extra bought to have with the Sunday morning fry up. The only thing from my childhood that should be left there is Wagon Wheels. Grim, just Grim |

Cheap chocolate wafer biscuits- Blue Riband. The chocolate was greasy and flaked off. Obviously we kids wanted Jacobs mint clubs or Trios.
Tinned peaches in syrup that made the evap look curdled. Tongue and salad cream sandwiches Pale orange woody turnip boiled in water for hours and mashed up. Boiled spud in the winter that were an off grey colour and all flaky with wholes where the eyes had been scooped out. Marrowfat peas Bacon that had little hard white lumps in it Mince that had been boiled and then cooled and the fat skimmed with little unidentified bits of tube and gristle. |

I only discovered haslet existed about 5 years ago (im 36). I had never heard of it until i saw it in tesco. Never tasted it, and probably never will.
It's pork with stuffing type herbs.I recall having brawn as a kid too - not so keen on that. |

In those days you didn't get fresh fruit 52 weeks of the year unless you were seriously rich, so you ate tinned peaches, pineapple chunks, even strawberries.
