Vesta meals?

I think the first "foreign" food I tasted as a kid was the Beef Chow Mein. I loved the stuff, which was a regular meal in my student days too.

I liked the Risotto too, but I was less keen on the curries, because of the fruit.

What other foods from the olden times do remember/miss?

My dad worked for the company who made them so we always had plenty of them. Loved the paella the best.

I'm not a fish eater, so that one didn't appeal.

Always puzzled me why popular fast selling products like vesta disappeared from the shelves. Was there something in them like a preservative that got banned?

Now there's a blast from the past. Like many, a vesta curry was I think my first ever experience of 'foreign' food.

But get them wrong and it was the dentist

I miss the big Mars bars. Before they made them dual bars. The concentration to eat the caramel off without breaking the noughat. Kept me quiet.

I think you can still get them in B&Ms! Was tempted when I saw them last time.

The paella was my favourite but I always remember after the Friday night big shop my dad would cook his chow mein up!

We were in an Iceland type shop yesterday and they sold the findus pancakes.

I also remember cod in butter sauce boil in the bags. Chicken supreme in two boil in the bags - one rice and one the rest
