Allotments 4 All

Ive just remembered "Imps". Tiny little black squares of liquorice that you could eat in class cos they were so small.

Imps... they reminded me of the anasthetic we were given when we had teeth out....Nooooo :'(

Jubbly's Betula, orange jubblys I used to live on them in the school holidays.   :P :P :P        ;D ;D ;D

The Lucozade used to be wrapped in orange cellophane too, I used to think it was so exciting, my nan used to have it and as kids we would fight over who got to unwrap it  :)

Do you know it was the only thing I could face if I was sick as a child .Now the grandchildren just have it as a fizzy drink.

My mother would never let us have Lucozade even when we were ill - she made us freshly squeezed orange juice and added some glucose powder - I felt really deprived :D

Honeycomb? not the real thing I hasten to add, it was a sugary sticky block of stuff that had air bubbles in it, and gypsy tart for school dinners which went some way to making up for the gristle in the stew. :-X

Was gypsy tart the Jam tart with coconut sprikled on it? Yum I loved that

The gypsy tart we had at school didn't have jam or coconut.  It was made with evaporated or condensed milk and muscovado sugar.

Anyone remember the hard toffee that was in a half sea shell? It took HOURS to lick out.

??? ??? ???

You could always get this at the sea side and I think it was the left over toffee from making toffee aples in the day when toffee apples werent that awful red that they are now.
The toffee was in the 'well' of the scallop half shell.
