> I lived off tripe during my first pregnancy

ugh!! poppity thats horrid! i will try pretty much anything food wise but i draw the line at body parts designed to extract waste

I thought that tripe is the stomach lining which is designed to extract nutrients, not waste.

i thought it was also part bowel? could well be wrong.

neither sounds tasty though :)

Even the bowel extracts nutrients; it leaves the waste behind!

Oh, it's vile, no disagreement there (and yes, I've tried it. Never again. I'll get a note from my mother if necessary!).

lol true of course. i ment general digestive stuff does not appeal

Yak! How on earth did we get from yummy sweeties and nice things to tripe??? Bleh! LOL!

poppity! i mentioned my sisters pregnancy craving for flying saucers and she started on about the foul yucky tripe! GAK! nasty stuff.

poppity your poor baby having to share an abdomen with that stuff! ;)

> ugh!! poppity thats horrid

It was exceedingly yummy at the time.Mind you,as soon as Sarah popped out i didn't touch the stuff again.I'm mainly veggie now,with fish on the menu maybe once a week.Just to continue the pregnancy theme for a minute,when I was expecting Sarah,I went off tea and coffee,big time.I seriously couldn,t go to the furniture department of a big store in town because the tables reminded me of sitting down for a cuppa,and that set my tum off.

That's true.I suppose I should think myself lucky she didn't come out with horns and udders.(she's absolutely gorgeous,by the way) :) :)

lol.

i'm sure she is :)

edited to add i'm loling at the comment about the horns, not that shes gorgeous :)

While on holiday went in sweetie shop bought a 1/4 of tee cakes or is it T cakes! have'nt had them for 30 years or more.
They were really o k .as I recall .....just my teeth could'nt cope with them these days  shame :-(

Halfpenny spanishes and caly caily kali (how the heck do you spell the sugary powdery stuff you stick halpenny spanishes in? (I am much much older than you lot!!!)

Plus we used to melt the halfpenny spanishes and make a bottle of spo!!!

Sour Apples, Rhubarb & Custards, Mojos, Refreshers & Black Jacks.  Poundland sell Mojos in a big bag but they're not the same as I remember them.

> An alternative to jelly babies!

JG, I think they're more of a hen night sweetie!! :-)

Isn't that how you get jelly babies in the first place.:)

highland toffee which is why my teeth are so bad!! lol.

Tripe :-O

DID WE HAVE THE SPACEDUST ALREADY?

Floral gums and cherry lips.

mine were flying saucers, those chocolate cup things, wham bars and pretzel flips (i wrote to nestle virtually begging them to bring them back, but they said they wouldn't :( ). And cola cubes - i still love them! There's a fab shop in Whitby that sells the oldies, like those cherry lips that taste like soap (they're another one) - i spend the best part of a tenner everytime i go in, although in my defence, it isn't very often! And i've spnt a bit on a querter of, too.

Mmmmm,I love Dime bars too,and peanut brittle.:)
