From Crispy Pancakes to Angel Delight - the forgotten food we loved as children The diets of Brits has changed massively over the past 40 years, but what happened to Crispy Pancakes, Angel Delight, and Spam? The taste of childhood that's stuffed with sugar and E numbers
Diets in the UK now are vastly different to what they were just a few decades ago - but what happened to the supermarket staples that were loved and adored around the country?
With every city being littered with Michelin star restaurants and each shop stocking a range of high-end ingredients, it's easy to eat haute cuisine on a daily basis.
It wasn't always that way, as entire generations of people were brought up on Spam, Crispy Pancakes, and Angel Delight - but now those foods have been almost lost from living memory, as the Manchester Evening News reports.
Here we take a look back and remember some of the classics, that in their heyday were supermarket staples and on dinner tables up and down the country.

Food sticks (?) Astronaut thing think that was the name
Pizza Spins
Nickerson Farms hot roast beef sandwich open-faced
We effectively ban all this stuff and yet people get bigger and more sedentary. When are we going to figure out it is not the food?
space food sticks were awful, tang too.
Ever wonder why there are no ‘British Restaurants’?..................
“Food sticks (?) Astronaut thing think that was the name”
Space food sticks! They tasted like crap, but the astronauts ate them (or so they claimed), so it was all good!
Yes they were, LOL
We haven't banned HFCS yet - in fact, half the Senate's reelection hopes depend on it.

Crispy Pancakes can be frozen and re-heated in an air fryer...
Ingredients
2 cups (254 grams) all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
2 cups buttermilk
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons (28 grams) butter, melted, plus more for frying
Maple syrup, for serving
Directions
In a large bowl combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
In a small bowl whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, and butter. Add to the flour mixture and stir until combined with a couple streaks of flour remaining. Don’t overmix. If not using immediately, cover and refrigerate for up to a day.
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Add a generous pat of butter and allow to melt and become hot. Drop the batter by 1/4-cup spoonfuls into the skillet then reduce the heat to medium. Cook until the bubbles form all across the top of the pancakes then flip and continue to cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining batter.
If not serving the pancakes immediately, keep warm on a baking sheet in a 200°F oven. Serve with maple syrup and extra butter, if desired.
