Used to love philly in my pre vegan days. Digestives and stilton too. Digestives crumbled on banana and cold custard. I quite like a digestive!

Mmmm, rhubarb. Just as long as put enough sugar on when you cook it. Old fellow down the road used to eat it raw. He died...

"should be dug straight back into the ground" - husband always used to think that about beetroot, until i made a cake with it and smothered it in chocolate icing

Beetroot of course can be roasted which gives it a totally different texture and taste: that's how we treat parsnips.

winter mixture had clove sweets, they stank! I remember tudor crisps. Didn't they used to do a spring onion flavour? They were yummy.

I remember hedgehog-flavoured crisps and the absolute outrage in the school playground... "they don't even taste anything like hedgehogs!". Like we knew.  ::) ;D

Ah, perhaps the hedgehog flavours ones I remember were a different brand then. This would have been early 1980s, there wasn't a school tuck shop but they were in the vending machines at the local swimming baths. The crisps were always out of my price range, but you could get Wham bars and Highland Toffee for a few pence.
