Recently had discussion online with daughter's partner's mum about things we used to consume years ago which came in tins & wondered how many ladies remember these.
Corned beef - still in tins & I still buy it.
Bacon Grill - mum used to serve with fried eggs & fried day old pancakes.
A&B Roll - don't remember liking it much.
Cremola Foam - lemon. Thought it was such a treat. ::)
-
Spam Spam Spam Spam! (Monty Python)
-
Carnation Milk
Fray Bentos steak pies
Condensed Milk.
Didn't like any of them but the very worse was tinned Haggis :o

A&B roll was spicy ham & beef. Probably didn't like as it was spicy.
Ooh I'm remembering another one, tinned cream! Oh how I hated that stuff. My MIL thought she was giving us a treat. Jelly, tinned fruit & huge dollop of tinned cream. I suffered in silence!
Please tell me you didn't consume dog food CLKD. ;D
-
You used to get a whole chicken in a tin! Beat that!
Bramble
ps. Still get Creamola foam in tins - I love it! Pure unadulterated sugar!
-
Whole chicken in a tin, never heard of that one.
I won't be rushing to buy Cremola Foam bramble. Just looked it up. Says it was popular in Scotland! Why? ::)
-
Would we really know what goes into the cans :-\ - probably horse meat ::)
Tuna
Mackeral
Pilchards
coconut milk
soup
biscuits of course
I loved Condensed and Ideal milk ::)
Camping foods come in packets or tins, one pulls a widget, boils water in and hey presto, 8 mins. later a meal for 1
-
Don't think I'd make a good camper! ;D
Condensed milk, yummy. I used to love when my mum made toffee & I could scrape the tin! :)
-
Oh yes. It's the basis of banoffee pie ;)
there was tinned ham which came out with jelly round the edges :sick02:
Coco powder
Coffee
Powdered milk
Corn flour
Bisto!
-
Not in a tin but Vesta Curry.
-
I remember that ham. Came in a strange shaped tin. Can't remember the name of it, though think it may have been Old Oak Ham. Mum always had as a standby.
-
I think you are right on the name, the tin wasn't quite square was it :-\
We lived in an area not from from Campbells Soups and Smedleys canners ……..
-
Not in a tin but a bottle, Camp coffee. My Nan always had this.
Quality Street ;D
-
Whole chicken in a tin, never heard of that one.
I won't be rushing to buy Cremola Foam bramble. Just looked it up. Says it was popular in Scotland! Why? ::)
Because us Scots have the sweetest tooth of all! Esp, liked the lemon flavour!! Used to make it up in an empty lemonade bottle and take it with us to the berries for lunch! Along with chicken and ham paste sandwiches!!
Bramble
-
Tinned ox tongue. My nan used to make sandwiches with it and the texture used to make me heave. UGH!! ;D
-
Loved cremola foam raspberry flavour mmmmmmm
-
Oh, tinned ham as well.
I loved Cremola Foam. I've tried to describe it to my kids. Where can you buy it now.
Scots with a sweet tooth....where did that idea come from ;D
Deep fried Mars Bar anyone ;)

I've never heard of that one.
My mother always had either cod liver oil or syrup of figs lurking and would dose me as appropriate.
She always gave it to me when I was in the bath in case I spat it out and messed my clothes ::)

Never heard of the Browne's stuff sparkle, but sounds like something my grandmother would have had. Milk of Magnesia, eeks I feel sick just thinking of the stuff, in that blue bottle. :sick02: I was given if I was sick, had diarrhoea or anything tummy related. She obviously never read the label! Just read just now - for constipation!

Fortunately I never had to take it.
Anyone remember syrup of figs, rose hip syrup and cod liver oil :sick02: oh the taste and texture and they thought it was GOOD for us - abuse I calls it :D

This thread did cross my mind as I accepted my prize gratefully ;D
Knickers in tins ……….

Congrats on the tin of peaches by the way.

Anyone remember tinned orange juice?
It used to be frozen and you watered it down!
-
Now you're taking the Mick, I hope CLKD! Knickers in tins? Well I never. ;D
She isn't taking the Mick.
I received some once at in an anonymous, christmas gift, raffle/event.
What happened was, we draw names out of a hat then had to buy a christmas pressie for that person.
In theory we didn't know who had purchased our gift, but one bloke I worked with was pretty quick to produce a swiss army knife with a can opener attachment ::)
-
Just looked up Limpy! Let's just say what I saw wasn't quite what I was expecting. ;D Ann summers springs to mind. ::)
I take it back CLKD. :)
-
Croissants in tins. It sort of rolled open and then you had to shape them ;D

The kaolin and morphine used to work wonders for my anxiety. Better than Kalms and other such over the counter items ;D
-
HB, doesn't appear to have lactose. I'm pretty sensitive & can manage to eat them.
-
I can't find it anymore sparkle but if I do come across a place that sells it I'll buy the whole lot and stockpile it! ;D
-
Used to be able to get Kaolin & Morphine in tablet form too, I think.
Ranty you can still buy it online, but can't post on here.
-
Really? Oh that's brilliant! Thanks cubagirl, that's so good to know. I shall stockpile the stuff haha. *Scoots off to scour the net*
