What was in your childhood diet that isn't in your current diet?

Birds eye Chicken chargrills
microwave popcorn
Stuffed peppers
Lion chocolate bar
Candy floss
Strawberry ice lolly (Can't remember the brand name)
Liver (did not like it but don't mind it in pate though)
 
Peanut butter and banana sambos. I might just try one again to see if they taste anything like I remember. Healthy enough too I suppose :D
 
Many mentioned already!

Jam sandwiches
Flora / margarine
Angel Delight (I never liked this as a kid; same with Semolina)
Ready Brek
Tinned Pilchards
Liver, kidneys absolutely hated as a kid; nowadays with plenty of onion gravy and mash it's not bad! The pong of cooking tripe will remain with me. It was cooked for our dog as a treat, who went nuts!

I used to look at kids lunchboxes with envy, original size Wagon Wheels, Monster Munch! My Mum wouldn't allow treats, so I had an apple/orange instead. Boo!

Do Beefeater restaurants still exist? Used to visit one as a treat, Horn of Plenty Ice Cream!
 
Sterilised Milk. Living out in the sticks as a kid we had like 20 glass bottles of sterilised milk delivered at a time to last us several weeks. Didn't know any other form of milk until I left to go to Uni and was exposed to proper full fat milk with the sliver tops and the cream layer. Was totally orgasmic.

Semolina pudding with a spurious red syrup decanted from an aluminium jug. That and tapioca pudding which looked like frog spawn, also with the suspiciously industrial tasting red syrup.

Haha school dinners right? Remember those so well. Remember a tray of hearts once... they were strangely untouched except for my mate who had several. They even looked like hearts except smothered in gravy.

Boiled Brussel Sprouts are vile. Have you tried chopping them up and then giving them a quick stir fry, or coating them in olive oil and cooking in an air fryer? Totally different flavour and much nicer.

People cook them too long don't eat soggy sprouts cook them just enough so they're still crunchy. I like a sprout, me.
