    If you think that's bad, when I was a kid I developed a taste for Bonio dog biscuits :D

    I loved drinking the vinegar from the pickled onion jar when I was a child. We only had them at Christmas, which was probably just as well!
    I also loved burnt toast, just toasted on one side - and if it was buttered on a surface that onions had been cut on I considered it a delicacy :pac:

    Ha! I liked burnt toast too. Never discovered onion flavour, but a little sprinkling of salt was magic :)

    I used to eat pack of jelly. The little blocks that you had to dissolve to make jelly for jelly and icecream or trifle. :o

    Used to be my job on a Saturday ......to dissolve it for the Sunday Trifle, going back 50 years or so.
    Remember it well and eating the cubes also :D:D

    The new potato thread revived a few memories of summertime, just a big bowl of new potatoes on the table, peeling them and lathering them in butter. Heavenly! :)

    As a kid, I used to give out about new potatoes - because we only ever had them boiled/steamed.

    I missed chips, mash and roast potatoes.

    Love new potatoes now, though - but we have all sorts of potatoes available all year round, now.
    Also, I sometimes roast new season potatoes (boiled, crushed, then roast) so there's more variety.

    One of my favourite Summertime dinners is steamed new spuds (scraped/brushed rather than peeled), rare steak, green salad with homemade vinaigrette, red wine.
    Real taste of summer evenings.

    Leftover boiled new potatoes sliced and fried on the pan for supper, or with a fried egg for breakfast :)

    I do something similar for dinner. Either leftover new potatoes (or freshly boiled), pan fried with chorizo, red onion, garlic, chilli flakes and green beans (or any green bean type veg, mangetout, runner beans, etc.) that are cooked/cooled and added to the frying pan. All served with a fried egg on top. Absolute comfort food.

    Been too long since I made it. Chocolate optional but I read about it and used it before. Nice finish to it. (couldn't get dark choc. this morning :mad:)

    Dinner tomorrow.

    ps. I wouldn't use near that amount of chili, actually, might be a misprint but think not.
