No, I'm not making it up!

It was bright yellow, you mixed a sort of orangy powder with milk and heated it until it thickened.

It was sweet - loads of sugar added to the powder, and i could eat it by the panful.

i remember a black current drink in a plastic container in the shape of a spaceman you sniped the top off and drank out of it

Oooh, I loved cremola...I found a diy recipe ages ago but I've never tried it....

2 heaped tablespoons of ground rice
1 rounded tablespoon of custard powder
1 dessertspoon of raw cane sugar or white sugar if desired
half teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 pint (500ml) milk (skimmed, semi or full-fat but not soya or re-constituted powder)
butter or margarine
ground nutmeg to garnish


Instructions
Whilst heating the milk in a large (at least 1.5pt/750ml) saucepan mix the dry ingredients in a pint/500ml ovenproof bowl along with a little milk to make a paste of double-cream thickness and add the vanilla extract.

When the milk has reached boiling point pour it slowly into the bowl, stirring gently until the sugar has dissolved, then pour the mixture back into the pan and return to the heat. Stirring continuously, bring the mix back to a gentle boil for about 3 to 4 minutes until it thickens like a custard.

Then return the boiled mixture to the bowl and dot the surface with about 3 half teaspoon-sized knobs of butter or margarine, sprinkle 2 or 3 good pinches of nutmeg over the top. Bake in the bottom of a pre-heated oven at gas 5 (375 F or 190 C) for 45 minutes.

Serve hot or cold with or without extra milk as desired.

my son used to love those coco pop straws and nesquik vanilla flavour milkshake, not sure why they removed them both, they were very popular in my house!

I used to like "bitz" and pyramint, and supa crunchies!
