The Canadian French saga is a totally bizarare. They can be born in Canada the same as their parents and grandparents but still say they are from France and that’s their home Which they have never even visited let alone lived there.
Hovis or TUROG ?
Do people still buy Harvey's Bristol Cream,
I like Harvey's Bristol Cream sherry
"It's nice iced" - can't find that avert (it is good with ice though ) so here's a real oldie..........Love Harvey's too.
I don’t know, but the fact that wartime rationing didn’t end until the 1950s in this country might have something to do with it. Unlike today when you can stuff your face with whatever you want whenever you want, these things were treats that you didn’t have any other time, this would of persisted right into the 1970s/1980s.Hahaha - what is it with you Brits & adding sugar to everything ?
sugared almonds, sugar mice, sugared figs ?
Although, maybe Stilton could be sugared, that might make it more appealing to those palates that aren’t quite developed ?
if there was ever a lovely flavoursome fruit, it is figs - can’t begin to imagine why they would need sugar

Fresh figs off the tree, now you are talking; you don't even need teeth!
as nature / God / the deity of your choice / intended them to be
Yep, we always had a post dinner exhibition of indoor fireworks, with the "elephant poo" being the most favoured. A few years back we saw some in a novelty shop & decided to see what they were like now... definitely not as exciting as we remembered!Not food but does anyone remember indoor fireworks especially the man who used to puff away on a cigarette
Cooo, I remember those.....just about.Yep, we always had a post dinner exhibition of indoor fireworks, with the "elephant poo" being the most favoured. A few years back we saw some in a novelty shop & decided to see what they were like now... definitely not as exciting as we remembered!

On that point - false teeth and Steradent. Not a Xmas food, I appreciate, but I can recall in my childhood many of the older folk had false teeth.
Figs brilliant. We have a Fig in the garden and there is one on the south facing wall of an old cottage in the village - when it was sold recently the new young owners had no idea of the fruit until my wife started scrumping!
Same going in as coming outFresh figs off the tree, now you are talking; you don't even need teeth!
Not quite quality streetsI'm sure Quality Street used to be almost a tenner 25yrs ago, when the tins were probably like a bucket, but I can't remember the weight. In Iceland, etc, this year the plastic tubs which look perhaps just under half the size, were £4.50 for about 650g.
With the prevailing shrinkage in pack sizes in other chocolate bars, and increasing prices, I'm not sure Quality Street have actually gone up much over time
Have you tried eating a mouse without sugar??Hahaha - what is it with you Brits & adding sugar to everything ?
