Can't believe no one has mentioned 'Bubble and Squeak'.
Left over cabbage and potato fried. Lovely Jubbly !
In other uses for cabbage and potatoes, I actually was in O'Neils, after a game, and saw Colcannon on the menu - it sounded like some kind of haute cuisine delicacy to me. I lived such a very sheltered life.
The Irish boys and girls on here, can educate on the delights of Colcannon - no doubt.
However, Brains F*ggots in a west country sauce were a firm favourite with creamy mash and veg, and I still eat them to this day. I have actually managed to eat a tray of eight before.
Arctic Roll anyone?
My wife is a desert making goddess and her steamed syrup pudding, Spotted Dick or Jam Roly Poly are heavenly with custard
Her Bread Pudding and Bread & Butter Pudding are also excellent.
My grandads rice pudding with egg custard was delicious. As a WWII vet he used to refer to it as 'Burma Road' pudding

Have to agree with other posters about:

F*ggots would no longer be allowed to be called thus, for hints of upsetting and insulting certain members of society.
They could now, be known as previously identifying as f*ggots.
A word now that is, one of many, in the derogatory oxford english dictionary. And i do understand why etc but am sure if the food previously identifying as f*ggots came back into vogue, am certain, it would have a different name !!

Brains Fa66ots are amazing.
When the horsemeat scandal broke I assumed they would be top of the headlines though.

Brains Fa66ots still exist, so this isn't true.

Oh and not forgetting Findus French bread pizzas. Regularly scalded the roof of my mouth with those.
I just made my way through this wonderful thread (thanks again Brian - you really are the 'Threadmeister') and couldn't believe no-one had mentioned french bread pizzas so nice one. Another that was guaranteed to burn your mouth were the Findus crispy cheese pancakes. Literally molten cheese!
My mum used to make stew and suet dumplings - I never see them now? and also her version of a steak and kidney pie, which was basically steak and kidney with a slab of pastry on the side. Mashed potatoes and greens, delicious. Pudding was often a steam pudding - there would be a big reveal where my brother always hoped for jam but I always wanted treacle.
One other thing that came to mind from back then were breakfast slices. what the hell was that stuff? loved them!

Bexley’s wife sounds delightful but I imagine her Spotted Dick, with or without the custard, might be something of an acquired taste.

Birds Eye savoury rissoles ,sadly no longer available. With homemade chips and beans
Just don’t ask what’s in them. Mind you, I had fried Spam and rice last night (garnished with a handful of sweetcorn and peas to at least make two out of my five-a-day). Delicious!

Whatever the etymology of rake when used as a form of measurement, it's a fine word in that context. A fine word. It conjures up the image of 'plenty' or 'a lot' beautifully. I've encountered it a few times said by Irish people and in Irish literature. I'm sure it features somewhere in At Swim-Two-Birds. A rake of porter.
Funny that we always had pudding after lunch or supper without fail, but I rarely eat it now. I think what made it doubly special was the threat: if you don't finish your dinner you won't get any pudding.
I loved nearly all the puddings they made at my junior school, and much of it was proper home made stuff: spotted dick and custard, jam roly poly and custard, chocolate sponge cake with chocolate custard... but I even liked blancmange, and hot semolina with jam, and I even liked tapioca!! Basically I loved puddings.

Did you have a plate of bread on the table with dinner?

What about Gypsy tart? Couldn’t stand it myself. And I always gagged at school dinner time when we had to scrape our leftovers into the slop bucket (‘For what we are about to receive, the pigs have just refused it’).

As a kid the answer would be anything that wasn't prepare by my mother.
If I had to feed myself it was out of a can. Heinz saw me through. Those baked beans with sausages in them on some toast. Tomato soup as mentioned before.
Sardines on toast for Sunday tea. Wouldn't go near it now but it was foolproof back then.
I'm fortunate to have married a fine cook who will never have to measure herself against the food of my childhood.

"Sardines on toast for Sunday tea. Wouldn't go near it now."
Well, I still have that for lunch every now and then. A dash of Worcestershire sauce really peps them up, mmm.
"Things had started becoming increasingly desperate at Loftus Road but QPR have been handed a massive lifeline and the place has absolutely erupted. it's carnage. It's bedlam. It's 1-1."

I've got to admit, I like the sound of a Gypsy tart....
