Defied the rules of physics. How could the humble toaster produce something so hot? Had the entire family talking in sign language for a week

Number 24

Birds Eye Rissoles

Even as children, we worried about the ingredients. Tasted lovely.

Number 23

Angel Delight

Number 22

Sausage rolls. From a tin. Witchcraft.

Number 21

Brain's faggots. In a rich West Country sauce.

Number 20

The Arctic Roll. Council Viennetta.

Number 19

Fondant Fancies. Or French Fancies if you were late to the party. One a month after Sunday tea watching Bullseye.

Number 18

The crinkle cut chip.

The talk of Airdrie for months when it landed. Some serious dissent to be honest.

Number 17

Margarine on toast

Number 16

Cadbury's Smash.

Number 15

Bird's Trifle

Number 13

Birds Eye Steaklets. With discounted anorak offer.

Number 12

Cod in butter sauce. From a bag

Number 11

Birds Eye Potato Waffles. Revolutionary at the time. For years, every tea that wasn't this was a slight disappointment.

Number 10

Fray Bentos corned beef. Meat luxury. Evil tin. Rarely served without finger blood on it.

Number 9

Banana Nesquik. Strictly a drink, but served up so thick it had the same calorific value as 3 meals.

Number 8

Carnation condensed/evaporated milk. Not much that we wouldn't put it on. Shaky milk.

Number 7

Heinz Toast Toppers

Alphabetti Spaghetti

The most entertaining food of all time. Best one seen?

NO BASTARD CHIPS

Number 3

The exotic world of Vesta

****Number 1****

Usually served part frozen or burnt to a crisp.
