Away from sweets does anyone remember the exotic culinary delight that was a 'Vesta' dehydrated curry. :eek:

It was a gateway to 'Beanfeast'.
Powdery gritty hell on your palate.

This is basically turning into a nostalgia thread :-)
I used to eat those microwavable burgers and McCain Micro-Chips. I would actually feel guilty about giving that stuff to a dog nowadays.

Angel Delight, bought some a couple years ago for the sake of nostalgia and it truly is horrid! Used to love the stuff but now it makes me wanna boak :eek:

I made that mistake too.

'Angel Delight' me arse,
'Devil's Diarrhoea' would be a more appropiate name

KTRIC

What about that stuff that poped in your mouth and ended up as gum that couldn't be good for ya.
Some of that stuff would really pop (or maybe I had a much smaller gob back then)
Or what about rubble gum all diff flavours pebble sized
Or mini chips crisps especially salt and vinegar ,stuff was lethal
Last one gob stoppers size of a golf ball as u sucked it changed color and again it ended up as a chewing gum or maybe see the brackets above again

Humans eh!

just having a cuppa,would kill to have a few United bars and maybe a Telex aswell.
I would nibble all around the United bar to reveal the inner sanctum which comprised of a multitude of E numbers,nobody gave a f*ck what they put into bars etc back in d'old days,twas great.
