The new Wagon Wheels with the jam in it are fab.
Food you can no longer get but you wish you could Page 2

Mmm they were tasty
What were those animal-shapes biscuits that had chocolate on one side in a kind of crinked effect? Happy childhood food.
Possibly still sold, but a few years ago family used to get some peach-flavoured biscuits (think they were Swedish/German). Most fantastic smell...hope I see them again somewhere
Remember as a kid happily puffing away on sweet cigarettes and chocolate cigars. Can't seem to get them anymore.

Weren't they simply called 'Animal Crackers' or something? I remember liking them a lot. Yum.
I think you can or could up to a few years ago. I remember eating them at school (pre-2001).
Starbars (I think that was the name)

Rainbow sherbert, school custard* and proper jammy dodgers - not the rubbish fake ones you get now.
*It's come to something when a grown up (me) can't hang around a school playground, hoping to relive childhood dining memories without it causing some kind of 'incident'.
1970/80s school chocolate custard was of course the most chocolately substance in the entire universe.

I used to loved the chocolate stuff (Chocolate Concrete apparently) they covered in pink custard (from a metal jug).
Blimey! That was a regular treat at my junior school (Henleaze, BTW.) In the good old days before cancer, obesity, '5 a day' and Jamie f**king Oliver. 
Mmm chocolate custard and unidentified sponges - I loved school dinners and could never understand why they were complained about.
But then we never had dessert at home so anything was a treat. (Apart from a lump of mash with some cigarette ash in it I was once served 
)

Does anyone remember those secret bars?
I remember my mum had got me one for my play piece for school one day and I left it at home by mistake and was truly gutted.
That was until I told the playground helper I'd forgotten my play piece but I couldn't tell her what it was, and she was like 'oh go on tell me' and I was like 'its a secret' and shes like 'well you can tell me' and I said 'no, it's a secret!', this went on for ages and it was probably the first joke I had ever come up with and I thought I was absolutely hilarious.

Your play piece? I thought I was deprived! At least I had actual toys.
ps Nelson Junior School if we're naming them.

Did nobody else call your morning snack this? I think it may have derived from the word 'piece' as in bread so it might be a Scottish thing. Either that or my parents lied to me
