Food you remember from the 80s

[Terminal_Boy]

Fruit salad goes back further. When I was a boy, fruit salad and blackjack were the cheapest sweets at 4 for a penny. You could really stretch your pocket money with those.

Ah, a fellow ancient!

I remember Hubba Bubba gum being 2 a penny and he size of an old 10p piece. A quarter of most sweets was 10p at the local corner shop.

I remember we often had a fry up on Sat night, the greasy works, egg, chips, beans, sausage while watching the A-team. Good days.

No non sweet food really stands out, we ate well though, had our own potatoes, eggs and veg, ate best cuts of meat, topside, sirloin regularly etc.

People were poor generally in those days.

Anybody remember old money?

This thread is about 80s food, that’s post decimalisation. How does old money fit in?

(but yes, yes I do).

Well that`s wrong straight away, they should be home baked and filled with tiny prawns from the cord en blue freezer place and marie sauce from salad cream and DADDIES tom ketchup. Maybe just maybe 5 sprinkles of paprika.

Cherry lips, the hard almost perfumed ones. Not the soft haribo one's you get now.
