Morgan Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Pub snacks from yesteryear, to have with your pint. Mind pickled eggs? Wee jars of mussels in vinegar and wee jars of cockles in vinegar? Toasties. We used to go to a pub that sold hamburger rolls in cardboard boxes, that got stuck in the microwave. Not good. Apart from the standard crisps and nuts, what else was there available for nibbling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forza Cuore Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Pork Scratchings and Scampi Fries. Stinky fingers and sore stomach later on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunks Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Love a pickled egg! Not many pubs with them these days, but plenty chippies. Pork Scratchings appear popular in north england - absolutely ganting! Scampi Fries used to be popular too, complete with fishy fingers 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

¼½¾ Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 I used to like pork scratchings. They could be a bit sore on the old teeth though. I watched one of those 'How's it Made' programmes a while back. The factory making the pork scratchings had people at the end of the production line pulling out scratchings with nipples and hairy bits. 🤮 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pish flavoured Crisps and Nuts. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm, Yummie!!! I was in bar in Germany years ago. There was a bowl of nuts with a spoon in it ,the idea being to spoon nuts into your pish stained hands and so not contaminate them . My mate took a spoonful and shoved them into his mouth, spoon & all and stuffed the spoon back into the bowl. Barman was mortified. We all were. PS Pickled eggs - utterly disgusting but worse, a few guys in these parts put it into a bag of salt & vinegar crisps , smash it up then pour the stuff down their throats.

Салатные палочки Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 I remember those burgers . The chippy down the hill from my house started selling them, must have been late 80's. I remember being sent for the paper on a Saturday morning and seeing hundreds of the boxes scattered over the road. Must have been loads of pished folk at chucking out time. Could imagine the older ones, "gies wan a they cheesy burger things hen". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AW1 Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Roast potatoes on the bar with tons of salt on a Sunday in my old local in South London. Asked a landlady once how long the pickled eggs were behind the bar and she said no one had bought one in years................ Since that I decided against the pickled egg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
