As it says on the tin . Now my story is Branston Pickle , i must have walked past this in Dunnes for 25 years but i was drawn to it on Friday , why not sure but my goodness the pair of us at home have eaten the whole jar, well nearly within in 18 hours . I am sure i will not go there again just wanted it for some mad reason . Anyone had the same sort of urge for foods ?

Funny you should mention Brandon Pickle! I hadn’t had in years, walked by it in a supermarket recently and decided to pick it up. Wonderful stuff!

Daddies Brown Sauce. Ventured into a new Iceland that opened nearby last week for a nosy. Seen the Daddies and brought me straight back to my thankfully limited time living in Engerland as an 8yr old. Didnt get a bottle at the time but its been on my mind ever since

All down to the Sugar Tax, originally repealed by Gladstone in 1874, and then reinstated by fellow liberal, Gideon Osbourne, in 2016.

Now one thing i have never eaten and refuse to eat / drink every again is soup as it reminds me of the very dark days when i was penny less and i mean a packet of soup was all i could afford .

Unreal stuff. Used to go through the box far too quickly though because it was one of the smaller boxes of cereal.
Chef brown sauce is the king of brown sauces.

Yeah Wibbly Wobbly Wonders were about as good as it gets in terms of an ice cream if you ask me. You can still find them in the odd random petrol station around the place but they are a very rare breed these days sadly. As Trap says I think they may have altered the recipe over the years though.

Some great ice creams there. Forgot Bonanza. Tasted like a Snickers ice cream if I remember. Why did they all disappear?? The ones int he shops now are sh*te. You have Magnums or Soleros or some poxy yokes.

Does any of the Holmestead products exist anymore?
I remember Holmestead Cola was 25p in the late80s/early 90s.

Are they not just what Snickers used to be called, with the exact same ingredients and all?

Like all softdrinks of yesteryear, it tastes like sh*te since they removed all the sugar and natural fruit juices and replaced it with artificial sweeteners and flavoring.
Used to love an ice cold can of Lilt or Club Shandy on a hot summers day.
