It must be a mistake, surely?

Ah I understand now. Although news story today declares true dairy is healthier for you than all these "mocked up" healthy fats. Always been butter, cream and full fat milk for me.

Thats ok if you can eat these things - my daughter has a severe dairy allergy and cant have anything remotely linked to milk....so we all try support her and dont have dairy either, infact we're pretty much vegan.

There are lots of facts and interesting articles about how good a totally meat and dairy free diet is for you aswell......

For a very, very, special treat after Sunday tea (tinned salmon & cucumber sandwiches), my mother used to produced tinned fruit cocktail (we would fight over the few cherries) and Dream Topping. Remember that? Occasionally she would use tinned fruit cocktail, jelly, stale cake, Angel Delight and Dream Topping to make a trifle.

Oh my goodness, we thought it was Heaven......I couldn't even look at it now! Thinking about it is vomit inducing.

We used to have sugar sandwiches..........and my father would put sugar on lettuce - weird

That brings back fond memories of my Nan- lettuce and sugar sandwiches were her favourite.

T****s own evaporated milk increased in price in one week from 48p to 79p.

with an expiry date of May 2006

With work are doing a charity bake sale, I haven't baked for years and rummaging though the cupboard here it looks like neither has anyone else. Found a jar of liquid glucose with an expiry of 1996. I was 10 when it expired......


Oh, it isn't a liquid anymore!

I'm afraid to find out what is lurking in the top of the cupboard - given that I've lived here for 30+ years

I bought fruit shortcake biscuits today - had a dream about them last night. Haven't bought biscuits for a few months and £1.10 for a tiddly pack of biscuits I'm turning into my mother!
