For the USA members and possibly others, Campbell's Soups date back to 1869, just shortly after the American Civil War ended.

There used to be a place called Maison Carre in St Peter Port.
Amongst other things they used to sell this cake, I never used to know what it was called, that seemed to consist largely of buttercream (possibly chocolate flavoured) and something crunchy. I don't recall it as being a meringue based thing. It would easily fall apart in your hand and was better eaten with a fork or spoon.
I'd love to know what t was called and find a recipe. Although, despite the fact that I loved this cake when I was a kiddy, I rather suspect it would be far too sickly for me as an adult.
Campbell's tomato soup I'd the secret in butter chicken sauce IMHO.For the USA members and possibly others, Campbell's Soups date back to 1869, just shortly after the American Civil War ended.
Agree, wonderful memories shared...Great comments here, we never had a disposable income. Sweets were truely a treat. I don't have a sweet tooth, wife will ask do you want a piece of chocolate, ? I almost always say no.

This is amazing, I took out a paper and pencil and am writing down some of the food gets mentioned here that I am not familiar with...will googleI have no idea what Hash Cookies or Cox Orange Pippins are, being born in the USA. But you remind me of some things I miss from growing up in Chicago [next post].
I like this website...Old Fashioned and Retro Candy - Home of Candy you ate as a kid®/
I heard it had to do with the crackdown on cigarette advertising.Wow...I totally forgot about these. Gee...I wonder why they stopped selling them!

I am nostalgic about Boza, it is a (traditional, oriental sweet-bitter thick light brown, fermented millet, non alcohol )drink my Grandma and I took a lot during summer vacation in Bulgaria.
It was cheap, available, healthy, and hugged in warm childhood memories. I adored my Grandma. She lived with us non stop, as my parents are deaf, so she helped with my speech, school, just the whole upbringing...
There was a tiny cake shop 100 m from Grandma's flat in Sofia( shop not there anymore, many y now) and on our way back from the farmer's market or visiting friends...she would take us for a boza and tulumbichka ( oriental, extremely sweet pastry drowned in delicious syrup)...![]()
Aww it does! But it is not the colour I remember drinking...there are several varieties, made from different grains...
