Wher can you find these foodstuffs?

[Rod Serling]

Being a child of the 60's & 70's, I was brought up on all sorts of 'bad for you nowadays' type fodder, but I loved it, and I still probably would! Only problem is, you can't seem to get these things anymore! Does anyone have a pointer to where you can get an equivalent from this or any other country, or perhaps a a recipe, etc. Cheers!

I think you may struggle with most of those.

woolworths and bejam's

[Old_Geezer]

I thought Rum Bhaba was a dessert, you could make yourself ? Maybe you could supply your own gold wrappers for the butterscotch sweets. Aside from that I can only suggest Google or an alternative search engine of your choice.

You can get pecan toffee popcorn from Cosco its called popycock

[tinkerbell23]

You can get traffic light lolly pops and 10p tomato crisps x

Would try googling Retro Sweets and you may track down some of them. Bought a jar for my son's Christmas a couple of years ago.

[EDDIE51]

Instamatic film 110 , 126 has not been made for over 10 years , the last supplier was an Italian company called Ferania.

Z ebay http://www.ebay.com/i...m&hash=item33751465fd

[nungate]

You could try a Quarterof for some of the sweets, as usual I don't remember the web address but just type in a quarter of and it'll take you there. Could the green cordial be Robinson's Lime cordial?

[maggiebee]

Fry's Five Boys: Desperation, Pacification, Expectation, Acclamation, Realization "(It's Fry's)"
Believe the wee lad's name was Lindsay Poulton. Doubt if he's still alive but was in America in the 60s. He was originally photographed in 1902 for the famous bar.

[dickythecook]

I think, nungate that it might be Roses Lime Cordial. Haven't seen it for ages but the Lime marmalade is still on sale.

grasscarp, look at the ebay listing you have posted, it is for expired film out of date back in 1986 ! Colour film is very unlikedly to be usable after that time , though B & W may well still be ok as it is far more stable.
People still try to sell Instamatic cameras on ebay even though there is no film available. Polaroid type 600 film though is now available again after several years absence , a company called 'The impossible Project' has started to remanufacture it. £22 for a 10 shot pack though !
Back to the question, the bright green food dye in the drink mentioned has been banned for years , it was found to be a cancer risk.
Black Russian cigarettes are available from a few specialist tobacco shops as are cigarellos.
Breaker and colt 45 have been discontiued years ago .
There are several brown ales available apart from Manns , Newcastle Brown is not a true 'brown ale' and never was .
Fry's chocolate disappeared when Frys was merged with Cadburys .
I have seen rum bhaba's in independant bakers/ cake shops .
Morrisons had cans of mansfield bitter less than a year ago but I havn't seen it recently.

[grasscarp]

I accept the film on ebay is no use Eddie.
Rod, since you asked for recipes, here is one (and as Eddie said still available in bakers shops) Rum Baba

I remember my mum eating Rum Babas, they were her favourite, she never let us have any of it.

f) Buchanan's Butterscotch

Made in Scotland.....Best Seller......

This sweet is the Original Scottish Butterscotch wrapped in a gold wrapper..
A gorgeous little sweet and you can taste the butter.

Great sweet as a gift and an old traditional sweet.

[Valeriea]

Rum Babas were my favourite. I know it is not good but as a child I used to beg my mother for one.

Anyone remember Walker's curry flavoured crisps?

[chaptazbru]

I bought some tomato flavour crisps from Home Bargains today.
