First curry I ever had was a Vesta. I kept asking for them every Friday night when we usually had a chippy. Christ, nowadays fish, chips and peas is pushing £7.50, and even foodbanks give you back a Vesta if you try to foist one on them.

Yes, tastes change. I remember those tinned 'floppy' burgers as well, Goblin weren't they? As kids we ate what our parents could afford and I'm sure they would have loved to feed us steak, lightly grilled rod caught salmon etc. etc but we needed lights and heating as well.
You had light and heating?
Posh buggers.
 
The 70's were the gastronomic wilderness years in the UK.

Fray Bentos pies, corned beef, spam ffs, findus crispy pancakes if you were posh <laugh>

Shocking.
Corned beef and spam go a lot further back than the 70's mate. I remember those crispy pancakes <laugh>

What about Cabury's Smash :emoticon-0119-puke: or pineapple on sticks at parties what was that about?
 
Mars One's one way mission is the right idea. I don't think making it funded by reality TV is a good idea though. No reality show stays THAT popular long enough to make Mars One financially sound.

Suppose it depends how space crazy the first lot get. The Ultimate Big Brother Show, diary room..sex, fights and horror as they each take a walk out the airlock when they've had enough...

My dad used to take us cockling in West Kirby and Ainsdale. Sound. Love mussels too.
My uncle used to take me with my cousins there as well, I'd not eaten them for donkeys until quite recently and I remembered how good they were. I've always loved mussels

my parents used to grow vegetables in the garden and one year for some reason our small garden produced a bumper harvest of cabbage. Christ we had cabbage with what felt like every meal for months .
i quite liked cabbage before but by the end of that year i couldn't face it for years :emoticon-0119-puke:

I like cabbage with ham, bacon or gammon.
