    Mixed berries topped with Greek yogurt and a generous squirt or two of Sweet Freedom Orange Spice choc shot. Mmmm.

    Hummus sarnie with grated carrot
    One of my favourites, on grainy grainy bread :D

    Was also partial to fish finger and salad cream sandwiches as a child. (Haven't eaten fish since 2001).

    Roast lamb with bramble jelly
    Chips with onion gravy
    Bourbon with apple juice (fizzy if possible, works even better with the honey or spiced bourbon).

    In the days (1950s) when the only brand of crisps was Smiths, plain with salt in a twist of blue waxy paper, I used to sprinkle vinegar in the bag.


    In the 1960s, a school friend and I , while left home alone to get our own meal combined tinned minced beef with baked beans and two years later Heinz actually produced this combination for a while.


    Two chances of missed patents.;)

    I just about remember crisps that came with the little blue bag of salt. I wonder how they did the bags.

    Speaking of blue bags, does anyone remember the Reckitt's blue bags? My mother used to put a squeeze of the blue in with her whites when washing. She also added a drop to white icing when she made the Christmas cake. I've no idea what it was made from so goodness knows whether it was edible. :eek:

    Raspberries and (preferably dark) chocolate
    Celery and marmite (really. I am not keen on either on their own, but combined in a sandwich - yum).
    I wanna be in the room where it happens
