You'll only remember these if you are over 40.
The great big home made, hand cut chips, served in a brown paper bag, you used to get from the chinese takeaway, that they all stoped selling in the mid 80's because they all switched the frozen :-(

Failing that and going back to childhood memories, I remember in the mid 70's being presented with a thing called a "brunchie" (Made by birdseye or findus, it was sausage meat, egg and onion formed into a patie and coated in bread crumbs) as a child it was heaven,I make my own these days, pork mince, srambled egg, onion, sage a bit of ketchup and mustard and some salt and black and white peppper, form into patties coat in bread crumbs and fry.

Again from the 70's, Heinz omlete mates, my favorite was the spanish, back then it was the most explosivly exotic thing my 10 year old tounge had ever been presented with.

Findus make the most soul destroying food ever.
Tounge is a good word though and your hand made version sounds good.

I agree, but as a child way back when.........
I'd blame my dyslexia, but I'm just shit at spelling as well;-)
Give them a try, you won't be disapointed, they're even great cold the next day if you make too many.

^ This
Is exactly correct - if you add the word magma in front of hot.

If I remember correctly
the chicken and mushroom ones had already been ingested by the baby at least once, and it was unclear which end of the baby it had come out of before being piped into that cardboard thing they were wrapped in.

I'm so glad I converted to a liquid diet recently.

It was clear enough which end the mince beef and onion one had come out of though..

It's like eating a frozen gravy ice lolly out of a burnt hot slipper

Chinese chips
20p a bag round our way but no salt and vinegar, or you could get a bag of ordinary chips for 15p with salt and vinegar.
We always went chinese. (fnarr)

I wish they still offered them as an alternative to the shity frozen ones...
even if they had to hike the price for the effort and charge a food portion price for them, like £4 a box, I'd buy on occasion...
