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.

Sugar is a dietary problem, and I’m bad about it. But HFCS in particular seems a little city. Fructose is the form of sugar which dominates most common fruits and 50% of cane sugar. HFCS is only 55% fructose, as opposed to cane sugar which is 50% fructose. So if HFCS is so bad, one apple should screw you up as much as an unbelievable pig-out on HFCS.
The problem is sugar being so readily bioavailable as it is in so many foods, many of which I eat for too many of.
* seems a little city = seems a little dicey.
LOL! That's actually a very insightful question!
So, first I laughed, then I had to think...I can recall 1 or 2 English pub-style joints...the usual bangers and mash crud...but you're essentially correct, there's nothing of any notable substance to 'British "cuisine"..
The crispy pancakes and arctic roll look good. I’ve never had either.
Pancakes with ham n cheese in em grilled up crispy? Hell to the yeah!
