"The taste of childhood"

After just noshing on the leftover prawn crackers i decided to make myself a tea.

Dark - dash of milk and a nice spoonful of sugar. Whats missing? I never have biscuits. I do not know why but since I passed about ten I just havent had them but people

CUSTARD CREAMS!

They are a bundle of specialness in two crunches and a soft centre. I found a little tub of them in the cupboard and thought 'whattathehella' and all my childhood has rushed back to me. The way you dip the biccy into the tea or hot chocolate. You end up with a million residue lying at the bottom of your cup so when you drink the last bit it is all bitty and nasty. But the biscuit actually soaks up the tea and is great!?

You can eat a custard cream in two muntches - one muntch
Or take it apart so you have one flat of biscuit then you lick and muntch of the custardy bit from the other then demolish the lot!

Custard creams people are brilliant. Cookies are brilliant. Biscuits have weened their way back into my heart and now I want a hob nob!

What are the foods and delights that remind you of your childhood/earlier childhood? (I could not have many sweets due to the E - zones ... yes had the effect of LCD on me)

Please do share - we have done old skool cartoons and rosie and jim clearly rocks

Your old skool muntch please

mmmmm


I agree it is not one of the best but they were the only biccies in the cupboard


But they are better than coconut macaroons - my dad loves them

erm...hovis i think they were called

Ginger nuts!

I love those one’s they make at Christmas, they taste a little of cinnamon, they’re quite soft and have a sugary/chocolaty coating.

Num-num.

The custard cream is quite possibly the worst biscuit ever invented. Compare it to a dark chocloate digestive, for instance. Need I say more...

don't think I ever had em

ewww I know the ones

What were the biscuits shaped like flat mini loafs of bread??

the only bickies I eat now are chocolate chip cookies (excellent), chocolate digestive and maybe bourbons.

what were those horrible pink things called - wafers? yeurgh

Choc Dips!

I was a deprived child! I have never had one of these

...or a toffee apple

I was not allowed

I used to have Custard Creams with tea.

Then I got a job.

Now, instead of custard creams, I have Pizza Hut.

Fish and Chips - the cereal crisp things
Wham Bars
Roast Beef Monstermunch
NERDS!
Sherbert Dips
Waggon Wheels
Booty Bags
Those sweets that turned your mouth black
Panini Sticker Albums
Opal Fruits (NOT STARBURST)
Those horrible sour things
Choc Dips!

loads more that escape me at this time
