Best thread in ages

By a country mile

ah bless em.

Weren't they also in a Benny Hill sketch once?

Ah, the Smash aliens...what a great ad that was (the potato was hideous though...only suitable for students and sticking wallpaper to walls).

Don't know if they were in Benny Hill....thems were the days thems were.

................mashed potatty and gravy sarnies, the best!

On the subject of foods gone by, anybody remember these?



Seem to recall having these as a kid long before we had a Chinese or Indian in town in the early 70's.

They were bought out by Pot Noodle and became the main staple diet of millions of unfortunate students around the world.

Talking of sandwich fillings……..my old mum like many of her generation always used to keep a bowl of meat dripping (i.e. fat) from the Sunday roasts to use in everyday cooking……..none of these modern fancy cooking oils `drizzled` on your grub!!.

I liked nothing better than a sandwich from a crusty white loaf with a thick spread of dripping and of course plenty of salt…….we might as well have been filling our arteries with Polyfilla……..happy days

Ooh I would love a bit of bread and dripping now...remember mixing the white lardy stuff with the brown jelly then bunging loads of salt on top..yummy!

Of course, could be the reason why I've got hypertension....that or following the Broncos all these years. Wonder what percentage of our fans have got high blood pressure?

Or depression..

Continuing the thread, surely the best sandwich is a chip butty, butter, salt, vinegar, and in times of plenty, Heinz' finest.

Yes kit, without a doubt.
