Goblin Meat puddings. Individual little tins (like a small beans tin), the method was put a small hole in and pop in a saucepan of boiling water for 10 mins or so. It was a suet pastry outer casing with mince (?) filling.
Smash instant dried potato mash. Remember the adverts? The tins were dead handy for storing things in afterwards.
Jacket potatoes with cheese. Baked in the oven, a little slice off the top, innards removed and mixed with grated cheese, replace in shell, slice of cheese over top and back in oven for a bit. Saturday night treat as we gathered around the small portable telly to watch Dr Who.
I never liked fish fingers.
Meat paste (beef or chicken) sandwiches using white sliced bread. Felt naughty and decadent (we were normally only allowed Allinson Stoneground Wholemeal medium sliced bread, eaten until it was finished no matter how dry).
Oven chips were the sort of thing rich middle class people had. Mam only allowed us the chips she made in the old-fashioned chip pan. (Oven chips were far nicer).
Orange juice was Apeel powder or something expensive in a pub.
Birds Custard powder. Used to make Banana custard (yum).
On the whole I prefer food these days to when I was a bairn.
