I remember doing my shopping one evening and bumping into a couple of tracksuited lovers doing theirs, we met at the checkout and their trolley contents consisted of a bottle of Grants vodka and 2 walnut whipsWalnut whips. You can get them but without the walnuts because the world has a nut allergy apparently.
Both aldi and Lidls had tons of matchmakers ,,its fatal to open a box here ,,they soon vanishMatch makers and those liquer filled chocolate bottles . Haven't been into shops for 6 months plus as don't like shopping , The mrs does it more than well enough .
I had a celery last week . Spanish grown . It was wet stringy and pretty well inedible . When celery was grown locally on the moss land , it was always sold blanched with a collar of corrugated paper round it to blanch it . In season the "salit" chap would come round with his pony and cart shouting "Celery - Moss celery " and people would never eat the green bits , equating them to the green on potatoes - poisonous . The one I had last week was nearly all green with a coating of sandy soil on almost every stick . I didn't even put a stick in with the ox-tail I was slow cooking . We had a lad lived in and his way with celery was to fill the groove with butter ! I thought that was a bit much , but I can do with Hellman's mayo down the grooveCelery is the one food that has truly declined from a delicacy to a tasteless stringy waste of time. Todays offerings are a pale green imitation of a treat which was only available for a couple of months a year. Such a shame only needed salt and pepper plus some hot buttery toast
Yes , with the stringy candy tobacco ! And the white candy cigarettes with the red tip !
Do you know why Swedes,Bagies,Turnips aint like what they tasted like some 25years ago for?Swede turnips aren't what they were. Footling, insipid little watery things, now. That's definitely a decline.

The Variety is one reason (Victory) iam sure it was they were called & grew to the size of modern yank sourced Pumpkins we now have for lanterns at Halloween.
Of an era.... Yum!Wasn't keen on sugar butties but didn't mind condensed milk ones.
What like this??No-one believes me, but I swear blind that Quality Street used to have a gold bar shaped toffee in it.
I have had some Fenland celery grown by G's and while it was marginally better than the miserable Spanish offerings it was not the long white sticks we had 50 years ago, or os it just me getting old and rambling
