I've just had something to eat that I have not had for years. I wonder if you can guess what it is?
It brought back memories of early childhood tea-time's - Sunday evenings and one very naughty Monday morning. Smashing.
Thank you Carnation - and thank you to hat we used to lovingly call “Evap”. I just /know/ that if I had to explain it to someone who knew not of it, I would gross them out.
Food really does bring back memories...very vividly.
Carnation milk says to me childhood, fruit cocktail....fighting for the cherry, cutglass fruit bowl and Sunday afternoon tea. There....

It's sardines on toast isn't it.
Anyway, I prefer bread and butter pudding and I know someone who makes delicious bread and butter pudding.

You should get them to make it Liz and then drop some in here for tasting. :)

Sunday tea at nanna's. Proper tablecloth - the works. Jelly and evaporated milk - but only if you ate all your sandwiches first!
Thanks for the trip, Andy.
I wonder if it had added vitamin 'D' back then?

Definitely jelly and Carnation for me - I remember sneaking out to a neighbour's house when I was supposed to be at my dad's allotment and she gave me strawberry jelly and Carnation milk in her little lean-to porch which had a blue Formica table in it. I never did it again but to this day think about it.
I'll make a bread and butter pudding soon, you guys...

Bizzare - my mother's relations who lived in Chester le street had it in there tea. Uggghhhhhh I thought it was just people over there who did that - but the first time I met Steve's parents - guess what was in my tea?
I drank it though.
