my friend was talking tody about how she'd been looking for blancmange mix, which prompted a whole convo about "retro" food - food that you haven't eaten for aaaaages.
I'll add: evaporated milk; tinned steri-cream
do you have any foods you havent had for a long time?

I still make orange jelly with mandarin oranges in for the grandchildren.

Another favourite is sliced bananas in Carnation evap milk.

Yes, walnut whips, I semi boycotted them when the manufacturers stopped putting the other half of the walnut at the base of the treat.
The coffee ones were my favorite.

My mum used to do a jelly with little manderines in most Sundays. Thanks Mamyalynne, brought back some nice memories. Mother in law used to mash bananas up with evaporated milk and a sprinkling of sugar. Yummy!

Hi bednobs...I'm a cook for a homeless charity. We're *trying* to rely a bit less on tinned stuff...more cooking from scratch.
