Oh Kalinka - that brings back memories - tinned fruit & evap with bread & butter!  Dad always had bread & butter with tinned fruit - actually with everything - roast dinner too.  Mum said went back to when he was a kid in a family of 7 kids & there wasn't enough to go round so everyone ate cheap b&b with everything rather than go hungry.

He also spread Fussell's condensed milk on bread & butter!  And drank that dreadful Camp coffee that was 9 parts chicory!

Eek!! My mother visited an elderly lady every week (the mother of a friend) and I used to go with her in the school holidays. She always gave us a cup of Camp coffee and a slice of sponge cake with jam and cream filling.

Kunzle cakes, anyone?

I love Camp coffee with cold milk, it's better than any iced latte I've bought 

[Kalinka]

I've got a vague memory of making milkshakes with Delrosa rosehip syrup.

Oh yes I remember sherbet dips, also going to the shop and buying black jacks & fruit salads for half penny each - those were the days.
They were saying on the radio this morning about how millennials haven't heard/had certain desserts like rum baba, jelly & ice cream, rhubarb crumble, spotted dick.

[jaypo]

Aaaaahhhhh YG I've got a bag of black jacks and fruit salad sweets in the car, I still love em 😆

[Yorkshire Girl]

Thought they may still be around, when I think about them I can actually taste them and I don't eat sweets anymore!

[jaypo]

Yes remember black jacks & fruit salads & sherbert dips - you beat me to it posting about those!  Anyone remember flying saucers - the rice paper ones filled with sherbert?  And rhubarb & custard sweets or cola cubes?
