OS style cheat treats

Chipps

Sliced banana each, covered in custard.
If I'm really being posh there will be half a glace cherry on top.

Other fruit that's available can also be hidden under custard. Or occasionally (very, very occasionally) a slice of swiss roll under the banana. But that is really extravagant!

Oh, and by the way - whoever's version you use....

.....don't forget the fruit cobbler!!

I just remembered another one my Mum used to do - it was orange and sugar - it was just a peeled chopped orange sprinkled with sugar and covered in top of the milk. The top of the milk sometimes curdled but that made it nicer!! I made it for my two but they didn't like it. I also saw Cilla Black being interviewed and she said that she used to get orange and oxo and it made me remember that too - it was a quartered orange rubbed with a beef oxo cube - weird - can't say I liked it but I knew those who did!!

When Mum was young she was a ballerina ,she said one of her favourite lunches was a chocolate sandwich. It was literally a bar of chocolate between 2 slices of bread (bleugh!).

I went to university with a girl who used to eat KitKat sandwiches on buttered bread.

When I was a child my grandad used to toast some bread on one side, spread the untoasted side with butter and sprinkle on some sugar then toasted until it melted and went brown. It was delicious then....don't know if it would be now, I'll have to try it.

never had sweet treats, but a ketchup butty always went down a treat...and still does
my new housemates at uni this year were shocked when we were all in the kitchen on the first day and I made myself a ketchup butty, 'what are you doing?!'...they still haven't seen the light either, more fool them

If you also sprinkle some cinnamon on the bread and toast it you will have cinnamon toast! Lovely:D

The other day my kids wanted something sweet after their tea and I only had fruit which they didnt want. So, I told them years ago people didnt have cakes and biscuits and if they wanted something sweet they had bread and jam. They thought that was a fantastic idea and had a jam sandwich!! lol

We used to have, OMG you are all gonna cringe - sugar sandwiches, yes you heard right the first time I know, I know, it was my Dad who used to do them for us!!! I supposed if you did it with HM wholemeal/brown bread with brown sugar it could be a little bit better? No - oh well never mind!

I'd forgotten about cinnamon toast. I used to love it and haven't made it for years. Off to do it now .

Ooooh yes!!!! I remember brown sugar sandwiches!!
And mashed banana and brown sugar sandwiches!
yum yum!!!!

Best with soft dark brown sugar.

And you can't beat soft dark brown sugar on toast. Toast one side of the bread lightly, turn over & sprinke with a thick layer of said sugar & toast again. Dentists' Delight!!!
