Dream Topping was great. Angel Delight (chocolate) was the usual Sunday treat though.
Oh, and I used to love 'scraping the bowl' after my Mum had made a Victoria Sponge cake mix. Christ, I'd kill for some right now.

Tinned peaches and cream on a Sunday evening (after salmon and cucumber sandwiches)
That's tomorrow's tea sorted. Although I am tempted by Salops suggestion above.

God, yes, that's it - that's EXACTLY how it was at Sunday tea-times, and that quote has taken me back DECADES! - er - quite a few years to home as a youngster! And the cucumber slices were always in vinegar, with raw onion slices that were WAFER-thin! |

Christ, I'd kill for some right now. That's always the best part of ANY cake, Corny! (Well it always tastes better than any finished cakes I've ever made.  ) |

Don't even mind fruit salad (if I make a trifle that's what I usually use in the base), although I agree about the 'cherries' in it - gawd knows what they are, but they're never cherries! Speaking of trifle, can we have a debate about whether or not there should be jelly in the base? I always put it in because when the trifle sponges are soaked in it + loads of sherry and it's set it's my favourite part of the trifle (although the custard's delish too). I bet 'purists' and pro chefs say there should be no jelly in trifle...... but I'll never agree. What do other folks think? |

Never had that or Angel Delight at home, but I well remember our 'roped-in as cooks people' getting through mountains of the stuff anytime we took the Cubs to Kibblestone for a weekend. In fact I'd never had Angel Delight at all before then, but now it's one of the first things I ever think of about Kib - plus the campfires (and pockets full of firelighters - sssshhhhhh) - if I ever recall those days, which were great fun. I imagine it was a staple part of catering for Cub and Scout camps all over the country! |

My lasting memory with camp fires and food was finding a long stick and putting one of those dough ball things on the end and trying not to lose it in the inferno. My track record with fires is well documented!!. 😂 |
