What was your favourite meal your mum or dad cooked you when you were growing up.

Fish fingers, Smash and beans

Can't stand bloody Smash these days though

Roast beef with all the trimmings.

I did used to have some sandwiches that I wouldn't touch now: mashed banana sarnies anyone? Or sliced tomatoes and salad cream.

After a long day out on the Purple Chopper and a few hours trying to make some sense of a Rubix Cube would have toast with stork and raspberry jam with seeds in it.

Banana sandwiches were heavenly, not mashed just sliced.

We had trifle a fair bit, which was yummy. I used to eat crisps as a kid but don't buy them now.

not quite as exotic.. Grilled cheese until bubbly and starting to get crispy bits, then spread on white sliced bread and sandwiched together lol strange but nice. And tastes different to a regular cheese sandwich. lol
