  • McDonald's Mcrib best thing they ever made
    The McDonald’s hotdog cannot be as good as I remember. I loved them, thankfully I also had an outrageous metabolism at the time too.

    Had a McPizza once, in the one by Charing Cross when I was about 6 or 7, I thought it was amazing.  Never saw them again.

    Like.you with the hotdog, I suspect it wasn't in fact amazing.

    I remember loving camp coffee made with milk and fig roll biscuits as a child, seeing them both on a rare shopping trip with my wife I bought some. Bloody awful. 
    Remember it? I can still taste it 😟
    Saw it on the bottom shelf a while ago and thought who the hell still buys the stuff. Growing up it was what would be offered as “coffee”without embarrassment, probably why I only drink tea.

    Possibly said this before but lemonade or cola fizzy chewits. Can find absolutely no images of them online but they definitely existed and I enjoyed them a little too much as a kid.

    Campbell's Condensed Cream of Celery Soup. I use it in a recipe and now can't get hold of it anywhere. :'(  I fear it has been discontinued in the UK. You can still get it on eBay but it's the American version and they want £36 for a 12-pack and £60 postage.

    Loved the foamy polystyrene wrap that went around cresta bottles (stored in the garage at my nan's house...)
  • Might have said this before, but there was an ice cream lolly in the shape of Mickey Mouse that was lemonade and cold flavour, but it was like a soft sorbet texture rather than the hard frozen ice type.

    It was really good.

    Googled it to see if I could see a picture and someone has asked the same question, but the best anyone could do was a mocked up version!

    The seafood shop on the opposite side of the level crossing at The Pilot, Dungeness, is your friend!

    Funny faces ice cream on a stick. Funny feet were introduced later but seemed a bit less good

    Wickles opposite the Anchor and Hope did whelks when I was last there.

    Ice Magic - chocolate sauce for ice cream, that forms a hard shell on contact with the ice cream. Amazing! Maybe they still make it, I have no idea. For me, it was only ever available at my nan's house, and only if I'd been a good boy, so I've not had any for at least 30 years.

    Not the ‘Ice Magic’ brand, but you can definitely get the chocolate sauce that goes hard when you put it on ice cream,
    It just so happens that I bought some from Sainsbury’s yesterday!

    I know you can get them by the Anchor and Hope but they are hard to find in Herts.

    Remember Sky ice cream bars being nice.


  • Back in the 80’s British Rail had their own burger outlets at certain London stations called ‘Casey Jones’ - I liked their burgers, but they split opinion somewhat - my mates thought they were awful
  • And here was another good food outlet - way better than Little Chef

    Savoury Vinegar crisps. Around early to mid 70's. Much better than Salt & Vinegar.

    Elvis Juice, which is my favourite tipple and was temporarily replaced by newly formulated Elvis juice, which clearly wasn’t as popular as it was discontinued.

    I was bereft and wrote to Brewdog to complain!
       
    Didn't know it had been stopped, was a good beer.
    Brewdog “reformulated” it to 5% abv but sales dropped through the floor so they have brought it back - great brewer but they seem to get a lot of things wrong!
