My mum let us have a bottle of Five Alive for the wedding of Charles and Diana and that was the highlight of the 1980s for me.

Salmon. I was gobsmacked when a woman in halls of residence bought salmon for a weekday tea. Errm, donde esta the fishmongers? Turns out you can get salmon from a supermarket and it’s not £40,000 per kilo as I’d always assumed.

Didn’t think it was particularly posh but I always thought eggy bread was a special treat – found out not so many years ago that we had it just before pay day when my parents only had stale bread and some eggs in.

As a teen, the first time I babysat for a neighbour they said “help yourself”. I panicked so much when the coffee didn’t dissolve in the boiling water, I cleared away all evidence and never touched a thing in their kitchen again

Babybels. I loved them, but for some reason only had them when we would stay with my Grandma once or twice a year. I kind of assumed they were some rare exotic cheese you could only get in foreign parts (ie, Surrey)

I’ve just recalled Matchmakers, those sticks of chocolate with crystallised sugary mint or orange. I thought they were something rather special, because I only ever saw adults exchanging them at Christmas or on birthdays. I was quite underwhelmed when I eventually tried one.

My mother is working class who married posh so in our house it was the opposite as we were never allowed anything “common”. I think she was worried people would “find out”
When I left home I ate a lot of different tins of Pasta shapes in tomato sauce for the first time.

Munchies. I don’t even think they were expensive, but I remember my Nana told me they were “posh chocs.” pic.twitter.com/1xeUvTq6id
