Your favourite foods that aren't sold anymore...

Never seen a chippy van in my life, but I've seen loads of ice cream vans! They only sell ice cream though. I live in the midlands. We do have a 'tea man' who comes round in a van, and a 'fish man' (but it's fresh fish).

I used to have a chip van... where we lived there was all mountains and homes but not many take aways..so saw a gap in the market.. raked it in.. they are a good business... used to beep the horn at certain streets at certain times..

Really? You've never had a Chippy Van or an "Icy" (ice cream/confectioner's van)?

I don't know anyone who's never experienced the latter, although the former seems to be quite a northern/Scottish phenomenon, perhaps?



The former was a tiny mobile chip shop like the one pictured that used to do chips, fish, sausage, various puddings (black, white, red/lorne) battered burgers, butties and SCRAPS! He would drive around the estate at about 7-8pm and blow a whistle, and when you heard it you'd dive outside, get your chips, dive back inside and watch You Bet!! and Stars in their Eyes.

Can we say drinks too? I'm not sure if anyone else said it but Vanilla Coke. I know they sell it down in the states but I absolutely loved that stuff.

i agree vanilla coke was the bomb,

Golden grahams, where the hell have they gone, i think i'd literally murder a man for a box a they bad boys!
