I used to loved the chocolate stuff (Chocolate Concrete apparently) they covered in pink custard (from a metal jug).

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

Ahh I was thinking that might be what you meant after I posted. You young 'uns I thought it was like show and tell which was after my time as well. Snacks in break time? You *were* posh.

Hmmm, "mash with cigarette ash". Good times.

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.

Mmmmm

Lion bars and Picnics used to be much bigger than they are now. As were Curly-Wurlys, which used to be about a foot long.

Quatro a fizzy drink back in the day with 4 flavours

Do they still make Um Bongo?

LEMON CUUUUUUUURD!!!!
They don't sell any of it in Ottawa except specialty British stores an hour outside of OTtawa.

I know it may not be the same but maybe this can help.

Easy lemon curd:

Juice of 3 lemons.
1 tbsp grated lemon rind.
150g Sugar.
3 Eggs.
50g softened butter.

Mix the ingrediants together with an electric whisk. Pop in a pan and simmer on a medium setting, do not leave or allow to boil. The curd is ready when it can coat a metal spoon. Allow to cool, pour into a container with lid, and chill.

Bazooka Joes chewing gum. Probably giving my age away now but I remember saving the wrappers and sending away to join the club and recieve my secret BAZOOKA Joe ring, that when blown sounded like a siren. It arrived in pieces. Cried all day, I was only twenty two.

They did Um Ognob for a bit too, but it was 'orrible
