      Ah!, now for deserts we usually had something like Angel Delight but we had it hot like custard.......it was either strawberry or caramel, which was my favourite but I don't think they do anymore :cry:. I was never a lover of tinned fruit, just didn't do it for me.

            you reminded me of a few here mate.

            angels delight we always got on a sunday just a sunday.
            many a time i took 2 bowl fulls of even though i was not meant to.

            arctic roll oh how nice.
            it was an odd combo but the cold ice cream in the sponge was just a delight.

            i quite often had the whole arctic roll the others were not to happy.

                You sure liked your Angel Delight haha. The artic roll reminds me of my other favourite trifle (in my imagination) the sponge, vanilla ice cream (could be the custard) and the jam (jelly) ooh lovely jubly and its still going strong! The humble (but very versitile) egg was ate a lot too scrambled, soldiers, fried. boilled and mashed with a bit of mayo and gypsy toast on occassion as was rice and apple pudding with cream, apple fritters and cream and strawberry and black forest gateaux and victoria sponge. A family friend used to bake us a big batch of donuts which (I kid you not) were massive but not at all stodgy like some you can buy - these were light and airy but filling - just delicious. In those days I could eat anything and not put an ounce on now I have to watch it or I'll end up resembling a donut.

                Before the fridges came out we had to keep frozen/chilled food (mind you there weren't much choice then) in a pantry, so food had to be bought everyday so the fridge was a godsend.

                  There was a lot more suet based foods like steak and kidney pies,stews,dumplings and disserts that used to set like concrete such as jam roly poly and spotted dick with custard.

                    farleys rusks i was brought up on.
                    and i still have them.

                    shepherds pie was another favourite would put lots of brown sauce on it.

                    also loved homemade chips done in those deadly chip pans.

                    when it came to eggs it was mainly scrambled eggs. sometimes hard boiled.

                      Mince - my mum used to cook a lot of mince dishes. In fact we used to joke that if she could bleach it white and call it rice pudding she probably would.

                      Offal - my grandmother loved her offal (heart, kidneys, liver) so it would frequently be served up. Fortunately I liked most of it apart from tripe.

                      Grits - my aunt had some sort of grits thing going. You had your breakfast grits, your fried grits, your grits as a side and shrimp grits as a main. The latter isn't bad but like mum and her mince we sometimes wondered if there were any combinations of grits she had not tried on us.

                      Crisp butties - every Saturday morning for breakfast. MMMMMMM!

                          I've only ever seen grits in America, the last time I was there I tried some, but they didn't do much for me, it lasted just like a weak porridge.

                            They haven't made much of an inroads into the UK (some might say fortunately) but spending a lot of time with family in the US and my aunts seeming obsession with them meant I got to eat a lot of grits. It's only recently that I have managed to buck up enough courage to try them again and have to admit that they are way better if you flavour them with something fairly strong. Chilli powder and cheese is a good combination and so are shrimp and Cayenne pepper and smoked bacon. However, on their own, yes, pretty much like weak porridge tasting vaguely of popcorn.

                              I see have you tried clam chowder, another American favourite?

                                Yes but not as a child. Back then I did the whole "Yeeeuuugh! It's got slimy shellfish in it, I'm not eating that!" when offered. I was in my early 20s when I tried proper New England clam chowder and rather liked it. I love the way it is served particularly on the West Coast in hollowed out sourdough bread although give me a bowl of it with crackers and it will be knocked back just as quickly.

                                Oddly, a number of years ago there was an American style diner here in Bristol on the Hengrove retail park that did an amazingly passable clam chowder. I introduced Mrs Von to its fishy delights there.

                                Not keen on Manhattan clam chowder though but that's due to the fact it has tomato in it and tomato and I don't mix
