High cuisine in the seventies. My parents would go away on holiday and leave me with half a dozen of them and the Chinese chow mein one. |

Used to open with a twisty key at the bottom of the paper thin tin can, leaving razor sharp edges. I'd crumble a few slices up and mix it with baked beans. Heaven then,  now.  |

And what are those white bits? Bone, gristle, fat? Revolting whatever it is The Argentinians in the factory must have chuckled at the thought of anyone eating it |

It's solidified fat. The meat was heated to remove bacteria before being canned, the fat would then change from a liquid to a solid over time in the tin. YUM!

I was Googling Ski yogurt recently don't think it's still made. Also CO-OP's Coffee with Chicory which to this day is the only coffee I've ever liked. tv24.co.uk/b/rzi280-134t |

Yum indeed PU Ski yogurt Stu - I'm surprised it's no longer produced, it was the numero uno yogurt brand at one time. Guess Muller came and mullered it I sometimes drink Chicory - this stuff... www.hollandandbarrett.com/shop/product/whole-earth-organic-no-caffeine-60099255/I don't drink caffeine after midday, actually I hardly drink it at all now, and the Whole Earth Organic No Caffeine Coffee is similar enough that you get a coffee-ish flavour and no chemical stimulation  |

Seems Ski yogurt is still produced.
It was scrumptious. Bet it's not as good as it was.

There's a whole book on this theme set in Australia:
The Land Before Avocado: Journeys In A Lost Australia by Richard Glover. It's great.
I remember the first time I ate avocado. It was advertised as a starter at a restaurant: avocado vinaigrette. Half an avocado with oil and vinegar and salt and pepper. Me and a female friend decided to try it. We though we were real posh. Our friends thought we were mad. That was end 70s or early 80s
