Our family was in England a long time ago in a galaxy far away, where we had fish and chips. They were making a film in London that year called Star Wars. That was a year after the video below. I like to think I can still remember the smell of fish and chips (I am very allergic to fish). I asked my dad if the fish and chips was wrapped in newspaper, and his memory was unclear - unlike New Zealand, where they did wrap it in newspaper. While fish and chips was the national dish of England, that honour has since passed to chicken tikka masala.

My mom used to make this, and I have good memories of it. I have started making it again after all those decades. Comfort food. Good to have on a cold, dark evening.

instagramarama. London is not to be confused with England. There is a board game café at 1:50. You could also watch the introduction to any video from No Rolls Barred.

I've bought this more than once, for various Steve reasons. Interesting packaging. Turkish delight shows up in one or two classic children's stories. Some turkish delight would have been welcome in grim postwar England. (As someone who is not a chocolate lover) I'll take this any day over any of these chocolate bars. I'll put it in one kid's Halloween bag.

A Canadian perspective. I wasn't aware that there is a Canadian Flake bar. Wunderbar is Starbar. I've certainly seen Big Turk bar, but never had it.A trip to 7-11 shows we have Mars bars, Bounty, chocolate Smarties in rectangular boxes, and Aero (/ Peppermint). I've wanted to like the Aero Peppermint bar more than I actually do. We have Kinder eggs with toys.

This is Exhibit A for the whole concept of Trips and Treats. Wikipedia says the big ingredient in the Fentiman's product is pear juice. I certainly seek this out, but it is rare - unlike other Fentiman's. Fentiman's also makes the peculiar Cherry Cola, but that will have to wait for another day.
