    Ditch the tinned spaghetti. Eew. 

    Totally agree.
    It did bring back memories though of DS at around 12 going to a friends & staying for tea.  Asked if he likes spaghetti - yes of course he does.  Being a very good mannered child he ate it, but mum it was awful.  It still makes me laugh when I think aboout it.  Made me think perhaps I wasn't as much of a domestic disaster as I had always thought myself.

    Sometimes childhood memories are best not recreated!

    Ever heard of a Lola? They were forbidden - I think I was the only child in my class who had to drink milk at lunch.  I'm pretty sure the craved for treat was all chemicals, sugar and artificial dye, but the memory of the purple or red one stays with me to this day!
