Bread and milk , called it GOODY??
bread butter and sugar sandwiches

This has probably already been done but how can you tell in this place it's HUGE!

TestTransmission

I knew someone who used to have cornflake and ketchup sandwiches.

AlmightyCushion

Sauce sandwiches, I still eat those but it's been a while. Dan bars were great as well.

Quality

a teaspoon of butter and sugar...

Or tinned meatballs:eek::eek:

Susannahmia

Brown sauce, ketchup, or mayonaise sandwiches.

Oh and before age five or six I refused to eat anything except Heinz spaghetti bolognaise flavoured baby food and baby porridge. I even hated sweets. I would eat the odd sausage but it would have to be "peeled".

GhostInTheRuins

Unbeatable, - bovril sandwiches.

constitutionus

my brother STILL eats salad cream sandwiches.

i stuck to neon sweets like wham bars and double dippers. im still not sure what was actually IN those things

not to mention the wonderfully PC superman cigarettes sweets

My mam used to give us roast hearts for dinner sometimes....:eek: i think they were lambs hearts. I thought everyone ate them until in Home Ec class we were talking about it and everyone freaked out when I said we ate them. Went home and told mam I wouldn't eat them again.....

Also my mam used to get a massive bowl of scrambled egg, massive bowl of beans and a roasting tin full of toast, we would all just tuck in. We used to think it was a like a party but looking back I reckon it was cos we were poor.

Next door ate sauce sambos and mam used to look down her nose on them...

Wild rubarb from the feild next to the home house covered in sugar. Or on special occasions buttered digestives, covered in sugar.

I once ate the head of a lego man.

my dad used to grow ruhbarb out the back garden and stew it to within an inch of its life with about half a ton of sugar added.

dear gods it was lovely on custard with whipped cream :)

Ruu_Old

Weetabix with butter spread on them. Chewed up an eraser (top of pencil) a number of times as well.

Heh that reminds me. I was losing at the game of life once so I decided to eat everyone else’s family. Yum! Sad thing was that I was about 16!:D

whiskeyman

bogroll....



Seriously.

I can remember eating sheet after sheet of it.
Think we thought it was eating (rice) paper?


God, I ate so much non edible stuff, it's scary. I can remember licking this metal ornament when I was very young, because I liked the metalic 'taste' it'd give...

Overheal

In the states we had Poptart cereal: little tiny poptart shaped bites. yum. Then you had Rice Krispies Treats.. as a cereal! Gorgeous! Then oh! Then! You had Fruit loops! And Lucky Charms! I loves them all...

The sickest thing I ever regularly ate was 2 hotdogs vertically sliced into 2 slices of toast, with 2-3 slices of american cheese :eek: I cant beleive I was so stupid back then. Wait, Im stupid now.....

AlmightyCushion

For some reason I used to enjoy colouring in custard creams before eating them.

bluto63

A whole heapful of salt in me pepsi! Mmmm! I liked the way it made it fizz...

rediguana

Boiled eggs mashed up in a cup with salt.

And I often had the banana with sugar in white bread sandwiches. GI anyone?

My mum smoked throughout her pregnancy with me, though, so I should be happy she fed me at all

my dad did the eggs thing as well, dear gods it looked awfull but was snack heaven. managed to pass it on to the grand daughter too so it'll last one more generation at least

i used to love semolina and tapioca. in fact after reading this im gonna buy a packet. and ya can STILL get macaroon bars ! they must be the only surviving sweet from the 80's that wasnt a "brand" name.

just thought of another. not really crap but boiled rice with milk so it goes gooey with big dollops of strawberry jam.

still eating that now

Are you my brother?
I used to love the egg like that, slightly soft, just gone hard, with a knob of real butter.

I remember eating the glue that they gave you in your early years at school. Dont remember it tasting really good, have no idea why Id eat it.

I used to like eating icing sugar. Id fill a little cup of it & hide round the side of the house & eat it. Mum would have kicked my arse if she saw me! I remember trying coco powder & thinking that it must be like icing sugar only chocolate. Got a rude suprise there! Did the same with coffee as well.

lol me and all.
I've eaten 10p's (the old big ones) and ended up in surgery when I was a toddler...am also told that I'd been seen eating stones and pebbles.
No wonder my teeth are f*cked

Normal stuff thats not normal? Sugar sandwiches. Oh yeah and when I was six, my 'ol one said I went on a diet of eating only oranges and yoghurts for about 3 months...

Quality

And hanky bars,....

Or where they pankys?


HOw I hated them!!

My ma was a cheapskate when it came to the goodies.. remember superquin used to do the packets of crisps in the white packets with the black writing on them... she bought them too..

I do love her though.

hanky bars?

were they those things that LOOKED like a slab of ice cream wedged between two wafers ala the iceberger only in reality they seemed to be made out of styrofoam!

pink and white if i remember correctly

Quality

No they had thin slices of wafer and a cocoa powder substance between them and were coated in choclate, No ice cream

They were in a blue metallic wrap of paper, they were quite thin and flat, from what I can remember...

Schism

Sausages and strawberry jam on homemade bread, in fact I'll have to do that again!

nice1franko

Campells meatballs every single day.

I even kicked up feckin murder when the ma wouldnt give me them on good friday (it being no meat day n all - although, I doubt there was very much meat in them).

Telex bars FTW!!!

In case of going OT, I remember I used to love dipping chips into milk to the disgust of everyone around me.

Johnnio13

A couple of things, firstly Dunnes Stores frozen pizza's - the small ones - they came in a bag of 6 or 8. I would have 2 every day for lunch from school for 6 and a half years......used to watch neighbours and wait for them to cook...used to burn the top of my mouth everytime!!

MAcroon bars.....yum

Refreshers, apple jacks, space bars, apple drops,

Used to try to eat a refresher in class, if it didn't pull the fillings out of your head, the sherbet dust went up your nose and your look like something from a horror movie with snot coming out your nose and choking from the 2lbs of lead fillings going down your troat!!

Were these Brinky bars??? I remember my Gran used to give them to us as a treat. Blue wrapper, red writing?? God I loved them and 54321's!!

I used to eat salad cream and lettuce sandwiches - the height of sophistication I was!! Also brown sauce sandwiches we used to go through a big bottle of that Kandee brown sauce a week!! On those sambos alone!!

I used to eat white pudding raw from the packet, especially loved the end pieces! Actually who am I kidding I still do eat it :eek:
