When we where kids no one ate jacket/ baked potatoes as every day food. We always had jacket potatoes bonfire night around the bonfire along with warm sausage rolls, we also had bonfire toffee god knows how we had any teeth left.

as a child we lived in a cul de sac - the first house on the corner had a huge garden - many bonfire nights were spent there- everybody chipping in with what they could (love the old community spirit) - nobody bitching if so and so didnt bring anything - dads at their best doing the bonny and fireworks - me usually in the house with someones granny as i dont like the noisy ones - rememeber all us kids going round the day after to finish off what was left (usually loads) - good days |

Potatoes wrapped in foil with just butter on and sausages cooked on an oil drum chopped in half - this was before barbecues were fashionable.
There would be hot soup too, usually tomato, roast chestnuts, parkin and large ice cream tubs full of bonfire toffee. It was a communal bash so there would be about five different lots of toffee and they were all slightly different. |

We always used to go to the village hall garden to watch the display and i always had tomato soup in a polystyrene cup and i also have memories of jacket potatoes wrapped in foil, put in an old quality street tin and put inside the bonfire good memories!

Always had the neighbours round to ours. Huge bonfire, catherine wheels were my favourite fireworks. And hot soup, jacket potatoes and toffee apples (delivered by the "toffee apple man" on his bike...he sold monkey nuts too. |

A big pot of home-made vegetable soup (to use up the swede from our lanterns) and potatoes wrapped in foil from the ashes of the fire. Happy days.
p.s our lanterns were carved from large swede's from my dads veg patch, not easy peasy scoop out the middle pumpkins!  |

As a kid we used to go to a waste ground next to the pub. We'd spend weeks building the bonfire. Used to be a free for all. Jacket spuds were the food as not much money |
