A couple of people used space dust in dishes they cooked on "Come Dine With Me".

I remember the different coloured edible paper - it was really tasteless lol

Re: Defunct sweets?

Yeah it definitely sounds like rice paper. I can remember buying it at my corner shop, I can remember it been about 6 inches long and slightly less wide (the rice paper that is, not my corner shop), it was available in different colours which all tasted the same if I remember right.

Yeah I can remember Space Dust as well, I can remember been amazed by it when a lad at the junior school had some. It used to be sold in little sachets.

Re: Defunct sweets?

They're all making a spectacular comeback and give it 2 years and I believe there will be an old fashioned sweet shop in every town of over 100,000 people. Having said that, the supermarkets are wise to the game and already stock some of the best selling sweets of days gone by. Things like herbal tablet, buttered brazils, sweet tobaccoo, toffee crumble should remain the preserve of the specialist sweet shop for a few years to come though! James
