Rissoles were the business - used to have those regularly at the cafe where we went for lunch from work.   I'm sure they were the same basic recipe as 'faggots', which my mother was a great fan of, but if they'd called them that on the menu I wouldn't have touched them!

Tallking about Robertsons Jam earlier...... I remember working in the Co-op as a teenager and watching a man walk along the aisles taking all the paper golliwogs from behind the labels.   Remember when you could redeem the paper golliwogs for badges?    I wonder how many he got!
