But which branded items have you always had at home, from childhood to now?
My list includes Germaline (antiseptic ointment), OXO and Bovril stock cubes, Bisto gravy powder or granules, and Fray Bentos tinned pies.
The ones I miss are Vesta Risotto and Paella.  |
Yeah l remember Vesta while l was in bedsitting land.

In taste tests many supermarket own brands taste better then the highly priced brand names.
