    It sure does  grandma.....

    Off to listen to some Moody Blues now - I haven't played anything by them in a long time - will be transported back to floaty cheesecloth dresses and platform shoes. Might even have to find a Vesta curry to eat (do they still make those.....?) image

    Yes they do, Topbird...  All those little cubes of "meat" seemed to taste the same, whatever they called themselves.  image  Probably the monosodium glutamate or something.  Do you remember the ones with crispy noodles?  Magic! 

    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

    Actually I think Paella was my favourite - with bits of dried prawn that had the texture of a pencil rubber and tasted of ............ nothing!

    Might have to buy one to see just how grim they were.

    I used to think I was soooo sophisticated eating such things - especially if I had Angel Delight (butterscotch flavour) for dessert image

    It was new......'   and dare I say it but if you hadn't had a vesta you hadn't lived !

    I remember I saved the packet tops , they were giving free banana plants at one bit and so saving the tops a MUST!

    Thing is I was sick of them by the time my plant arrived and was  giving them away ' yes those were the days !

    Good fun though - i'm off to the Poundshop tomorrow to see what I can find in the food aisle ....

    Have any of you still got glasses collected with petrol coupons? I've got a soup mug I still use regularly & have only just replaced my Green Shield Stamps food mixer....
