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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,900 ✭✭✭Quality


    a teaspoon of butter and sugar...

    Or tinned meatballs:eek::eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,229 ✭✭✭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".

    Unbeatable, - bovril sandwiches.

    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... :D

    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 :):)

    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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,564 ✭✭✭✭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...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 86,683 ✭✭✭✭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.....

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

    Wham bars and blackjack bars

    Semolina, custard, tapioca

    Loved them all.

    Touchdown, macaroon, chomp bars

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,228 ✭✭✭bluto63


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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,312 ✭✭✭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 :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,727 ✭✭✭✭Sherifu

    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 :)

    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.
