Kippers before I even knew I was expecting my son! Then moved on to Dime bars - couldn't get enough of them!
Then I remember sending my husband out at 3am to search for a fresh cream meringue - but it had to be pink on one side & white on the other - with a cherry and angelica on top before birth of my daughter.

Tins of Heinz potato salad. I would buy a (small) tin every time I went shopping ... (almost daily to get some exercise) as soon as I was home I had to open it and eat it - straight from the tin.

Haven't touched the stuff since.

And for years my son would not eat potatoes!!
