@crucial UK kebabs are gross - and just what you (think you) need after a night out. I always used to get two and would invariably wake up with this soggy package of congealed fat and some sort of protein in my jacket pocket the next morning
I remember having a great kebab in Paris, and their savoury galettes were great too, like a big crepe cone of ham and cheesie deliciousness. And the gyros I had on Santorini were nek level kebabs, even had fries inside!!
Ah Gyros. Yes, with the homemade fries. One of the best food on the planet!!

You need to choose your kebab shops carefully. I think the best, and the worst, kebabs on the planet are in Britain.
I have only ever had the latter, though every time I was drunk enough to think they were the former

You can kind of categories hem into Restaurant / Late night takeaway.

The simple mention of pineapple lumps has instilled in me a longing for Jet Planes and frozen Buzz Bars...

OK, getting solar power installed and have just been told there will be no VAT on the installation - zero, zilch, nada. This is an unexpected and considerable saving which will be spent on stocking the cellar or re-roofing the barn.
I'm contemplating the former.

A few bags of jet planes are in the pantry too ….
Feijoa lumps are how I’m going to make my billions.

"Pantry" instead of food cupboard? My, we are getting anglicised.

East of the Tamar, we’ve not had pantries since 1954. Just saying.

Almost as long as you've been getting cream teas wrong.

The last time I had Jet Planes they'd changed the flavour. But I haven't tried them since to know whether I got a dud one off bag.
Speaking of flavour changes, the worst flavour change was Percy Pigs, used to be my lollies version of crack, now they're uneatable. Which isn't a bad thing as I'd always be getting people to send them/bring them back from the UK.

In terms of food from childhood, the biggest food crime in recent times has been the change in all of the Bluebird cheese snack range. I used to love Rashuns, Twisties, cheezels, burger rings. They are all dry and horrible now

I haven't eaten any of them lately, have they genuinely changed?
Might grab some rashuns when I'm home next week in between all the Rush Munros eating I'll be doing ... which is high on my Happiness Scale.

Cream freezes are what I miss the most. Now it's mostly sugary crap, like what McDs dishes up.

Yeah. They all used to each have a specific different shape. Now it looks like the same machine does the whole lot. But the texture is all wrong. Much drier, just not enjoyable. But I'm a bit of a connoisseur...
