Savoury Snacks Part 2: ‘Look what I’ve found!’ ?

FannyCornforth

While we are here; there’s a mystery desert that has been bothering me for a while.

It was similar to blancmance, and also crème caramel.
It was an orangey caramel brown colour; and really, really glossy.
Can anyone help?

One of Symington’s Table Creams?
I remember seeing those in shops aeons ago. Probably when I had supermarket holiday jobs as a student. My mother never bought any.

There used to be a Worcester Sauce flavour Twiglet - they were gorgeous, but I don't like the "ordinary" one.

Those Scampi Fries with Lemon were lovely too, and I was mad about cheese footballs, are they still available?

I have been to B&M this morning and they are selling tubs of cheese footballs. I did smile when I saw them and thought of you.

NannieDeb you could get some Scampi Fries while you’re at it!
(but hold the Bacon Fries…)

Thanks Fanny I haven’t used Ocado for a while but I’ll have a look ?

Sadly, cheese footballs only seem to be around at Christmas, in the tubs.

I miss Worcester sauce Twiglets and Cheese Moments. A lot.

My Mum used to make semolina, melt cubes of jelly in it and beat together. We called it Semolina Jelly ?

I think it may be too yellowFanny

Ken, I’ve googled Cremola and I can’t find a decent picture of it.
As I say, it’s most memorable feature was its glossiness ?
I think that it was quite upmarket, as far as these things are!

I remember my mom and I eating a cube of ‘raw’ jelly every day to strengthen our nails.
I think that the science behind that was somewhat flawed!

I admire your self control! On the odd occasion when I buy a block of jelly cubes (preferably blackcurrant) I scoff the whole lot in a few hours.

Re blancmange powders, PPs, do you want a particular flavour?
I still make chocolate blancmange now and then with just cornflour, milk, sugar and cocoa powder.
It’s an old favourite of dh.
In our house it was called chocolate pudding, and served warm.

NannieDeb Ocado sell Snaps

I found some chocolate covered rice cakes in Marks which are ok and low calorie. I'm dieting so a tasty snack with an afternoon chop is very welcome.

Aldi's Pops are really tasty, and lower in fat, which means you can eat a few bags in one evening

Yes, I share your snack philosophy MissA

We found them in Boyes for a while the only shop we could ever see them however last time I checked I didn't see them but it was a different one than I normally shop in so could be that.

I love spicy tomato flavour snaps but rarely find them in supermarkets. The last time I got some was last year on holiday in Norfolk from a newspaper kiosk. I bought six big bags!

Marmite crisps,and paprika crisps are my downfall

I love twiglets. I prefer it to a box of chocolates.
You can make blancmange using cornflour and add your preferred flavour and colour. probably cheaper too.

One time Aldi used to sell Pea Sticks - very scoffable. Haven’t seen the for ages, may be because we don’t have an Aldi.

When the children were small I used to make milk jelly in a rabbit mould. (Whisk a tin of evaporated milk and use it to
replace part of the liquid in jelly)

I love Walkers Sensations in the sweet chilli flavour.
I've no time for blancmange and all that type of sloppy stuff.
The texture of crispy things is where it's at, for me.

my husband like red Leicester cheddars

The co-op chipsticks are lovely, and 99p for a big bag.

Lots of advertising for the new Mini Cheddar Crunchlets but can't get them anywhere in multipacks. First found them in Farmfoods but they don't have them when we go in now.
Sainsburys have the big bags but are usually sold out. We don't buy the big bags as no willpower to stop munching.

You can get them in Home Bargains and Tesco

I always said if I could I would marry a bag of walkers cheese and onion crisps
But it wouldn't be a very long relationship
