Now we are buying groceries via the ‘click and collect’ method, we get to trawl through the supermarket website and occasionally come across things that have been long forgotten.
A couple of these were party pies and sausage rolls.
Food of my childhood.
Got me thinking about what we got to eat at kids’ birthday parties in the 50s.
Here’s my list from a 70+ year old memory:
 |
Lamingtons
|
 |
Party pies and sausage rolls
|
 |
Cheerios
|
 |
Chocolate crackles
|
 |
Fairy bread
|
 |
Pikelets
|
 |
Peter's Ice cream cake (special occasions only!)
|
 |
Cottees soft drinks or more likely cordials
|
And everyone was sent home with a bag of mixed lollies (candy) which could include:.
musk sticks, licorice blocks, ripe raspberries, chocolate freckles, gobstoppers, jelly beans, columbines, jaffas, milkshakes, fruit tingles, fantales, steamrollers, lifesavers etc.
Talk about sugared up!
