Stab you in both eyes with chopshicks & rub wasabi in your eyes for that.

Sounds a bit extreme, have you tried just adding some mayonnaise?

Processed cold meat.

When mother sent me to the corner shop in the 70s, it was for 6oz of Boiled Ham and a 1/4 pound of chopped ham and pork.

I mean is ham not pork ???

Also had the same shit with an egg in the middle.

Proper cuts of cold meat for me now.

Well my method of tuna mayo is to add in some dill pickle vinegar & sriracha.

As a child, I enjoyed a Brain Licker from the local corner shop.

Wouldn't dream of having one now. 

That looks like a roll on antiperspirant.

You can get these in drink form now. Would imagine it’s absolutely vile.

Back in the day we had such tea-time delights as tinned macaroni cheese, fried egg and spaghetti hoops, toast-toppers. 

Then there was the obligatory chip pan with lard, which was heated up/ cooled down ad-infinitum.

Cola cubes.

Used to get them as a wean.

Probably would cost me a trip to the dentist these days.

ETA: Curly Wurly, Highland Toffee & IRN BRU bars.

They were magic.  Tore the roof of your mouth to absolute pieces though.

What, you think they come from the same magical animal?

Sweetheart Stout, the only beer my dad would let me touch as a kid.

Not a fan of it at all now, even though it's still one of the first things my dad buys when he comes back to the UK (usually accompanied by a loaf of Mother's Pride).

I’m the other way round on that; never had it as a kid, could have it now as an adult although I haven’t (unless the wife’s shoved a boob in my mouth while I’m asleep and hasn’t told me)

Sorry, on rereading I can see it's boob.

Up until this week: Wee Willie Winky sausages

Did Mrs @mathematics cook them, and if so, was there definitely a packet?

Mrs Mathematics has “cooked” me one thing (about four times) in about 19 years of our relationship: cheese on toast. On one occasion I got the shits from it.

You're doing better than me. When we moved to the States she clearly didn't fathom that a toaster oven is different to a toaster and had a 2 for 2 record of setting bread on fire. Actual smoke both times.

Didn’t have this as a kid, obviously. No, really, obviously… a blast from the past though.

Now you've reminded me of the only drink I was allowed as a kid and only at Christmas

[Desp]

I was allowed one or two of these as a kid on special occasions.

This was tremendous. Very much hit and miss whether Somerfield would sell it to a young me from what I remember.
