Pan Yan Pickle

[Nemesis]

If anyone has a pantry like mine (or indeed a fridge) then they may have a jar lurking, forgotten, and this British culinary traditional delicacy could yet make a come back...

I'm still hoping they'll start making Royal Scot biscuits again. They were one of the best dunkers ever.

 

[Nemesis]

They were indeed.

Maybe we can find a recipe?

Lots of sugar and white flour...

However - plain choccie Hobnobs will return...

OK, but for those with sophisticated taste-buds, whatever happened toCreamola Foam?*



*Please note that my spelling is the correct one.

 

[Nemesis]

Can you still buy Instant Whip?

I used to have a friend who dished this up as her version of sophisticated dinner party food.

Well, we were students at the time.

 

[Penners]

Oooh - and what about Radio Malt?

 

[Penners]

Instant Whip?

The most delicious chemical concoction ever - after Angel Delight.

 

[Nemesis]

I suspect Radio Malt is being added to strange mortar mixes these days. As with Jaggery.

See other thread.

Excellent idea. Bung in a few raisins, and you have an entirely all-purpose substance - eat it, build with it, remove calloused skin, protect against rust.....

 

[Nemesis]

I think NT got there before us, with his rice mortar.

Angel Delight (caramel flavour) with crushed Crunchie Bars. the food of the gods.

Nah. Butterscotch Angel Delight, uncontaminated by heretical additions such as Crunchie Bars (tut :roll: ), just as Nature intended it...

 

[Moo]

I stand corrected. What I meant was Butterscotch (long-term memory failure).
But I stand by the crushed Crunchie Bars. You don't know you've lived until you've tasted it.


ps Can one still buy Angel Delight?

You don't see white dog poo anymore either. I wonder if there's a conection?

 

[Moo]

Not in our house. The children never left enough in their bowls to have any effect on the dogs' digestive processes.

Come to think of it, all the dogs' poo I've seen these days is brown. I wonder what it was that made the white stuff?

 

[Nemesis]

Mars Bar sarnies...

I still vividly remember getting told off by my mother as a young child (I'm now 46) for writing on the wall by our house with the white 'chalk' I had found. I couldn't understand why she rushed me indoors to wash my hands. "I was only playing!".

a quick google for "white dog poo" comes up with over 200 000 hits. Still, at least this unexpected turn of thread has put everyone off their lunch and more importantly cut out any food nostalgia for Satan's poo, aka M :twisted: rm :shock: te

The Guardian doesn't seem to want to share its riches with me unless I give it my e-mail address.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

But I'm with Moo. I never tried it like that, but Butterscotch Angel Delight with crushed Crunchie Bars sounds yum!!

 

[Juju]

Yes you can still get Angel Delight - now with minimal additives! My stepchildren love it especially butterscotch followed by strawberry. They fight to eat the remains in the bowl. Do you think if I offer to add crunchies, it might be a good bribe to get them to tidy their rooms?
