    Tinned Heinz Beans & Sausages

    Forgot about those...yummy :D

    While we're talking about food, when I lived in the UK I loved Steak & Kidney Puddings. Hard to find them here, but when I need some stodgy comfort food they can't be beat.

    Just googled and neither of them from Wales. I was sure that there was a Welsh accent somewhere. But it's been a long, long time. Does Butlins still exist as a holiday camp?

    Aaah, Butlins! I have very fond memories of Butlins Pwllheli. Not only was it the first time I tried baked beans :eek:, it was also where I had my first proper date (I was 15 at the time).

    It was 1974 and I'd been there with my parents and my best friend - probably the best holiday of my teenage years :D

    I can still remember the drive home. Picture this: hot, July day; stuffy Ford Anglia (with no opening windows at the back, so very, very hot!); me wearing a polo neck because of the large love bi...ahem, bruise... on my neck! Dad asking me why I was wearing a jumper on a day like this - me pretending I had a cold! Managed to keep the "bruise" hidden for the best part of a week until it had faded.

    Aaah, the good old days.....;)

    Ruth Madoc was originally Ruth Llewellyn, brought up by her grandmother in Llansamlet in Swansea so there is definitely Welsh blood there.
