Favourite stuff to eat on sunny days....

As a child of the 70's on sunny days we used to scoff:

Jubbly. (twisted triangular block of flavoured ice in a cardboard cover that broke teeth )
tiptops (like a long strip of luminous coloured ice lolly in a plastic sleeve thing)
Cider lolly (full of e-numbers and colouring)
plastic ice cream cone thing with chewing gum at the bottom...can't recall the name
Zoom - rocket shaped lolly from the ice cream van.

...aaah the ice cream van

What were your faves?

mmmm cider lollys, I also loved callipos cos they lasted forever unless you risked your teeth!

Now on a more adult theme, and todays hard work: a pint of magners with ice sat in the garden, in the sun, watching the kids have a ball in the paddling pool. I love this country when the sun shines!

I remember this having a plastic-like coating on it? Scissors were definitely compulsory! Fantastic packaging though, never once got stuck like most icecreams nowadays. And quite compact considering the size of the lolly!

Screwball!! I only remember them because my mum wouldn't let me have bubblegum so that dessert was my forbidden fruit!

My favourite was the supermousse, such an epic frozen dessert available in chocolate or raspberry. They've resurfaced a few times but don't last long unfortunately.

1. Strawberries picked from the garden

2. Mint Feast from the ice cream van

3. Very cold lager


ETA - as youths, a mate and I once raided his mum's freezer during the summer holidays and ate a whole Vienetta each like choc ices - felt ill for a bit after that

Oh, defrosting was strictly optional... it depended on how much you wanted it!

Screwballs were the best, closely followed by Fab's (both still available).

Any choc/vanilla/caramel based icecream.
Ben and Jerrys cookie dough or Cores do the trick.

To day I had a Magnum Caramel after lunch

In the 50's in Kimberley where I grew up my favourites where

Eskimo Pie - vanilla Ice cream on a stick coated in chocolate

Herb Beer - non alcoholic beer made with herbs - tasted like a beer shandy and only available in Kimberley.

Deep fried Locusts made a good savoury snack when swarming.
