Those meals you used to love but would struggle to swallow now.

I'm not sure if knowing they're probably horse is what's put me off.

Party rings, the ultimate treat at my grandparents now seem a lot like eating sand.

Pickled cockles. I used to eat them by the jar full with fish and chips. One of the very few things I couldn't even put into my mouth now!

Pickled cockles

Me too, used to pickle our own when I was small and we lived on the Isle of Sheppey. Still like a lot of pickled stuff but wouldn't pop a cockle in my mouth these days

Mmm. Gala pie.

When we come back to the UK each summer, we all go into Waitrose / Sainsburys and spend a good chunk of cash on the food we've missed all year. Gala pie's just been added.

Ants on toast, spacemonkey?

Where do they get the really long eggs to go inside the pie?

Are they snake eggs?

"The so called ‘long egg’ in Gala Pies is actually made of several eggs. The yolks are seperated from the whites and the yolks are then poured into a long tube-shaped mold in which they are cooked. The hard yolk is removed from the mold then put inside a larger tube-shaped mold and the egg whites are poured round the outside of the hard yolk. The whole thing is then cooked again to harden the whites around the yolk. This is then removed from the mold thus producing one very long hard-boiled egg!"
