A celebration of the culinary delights we all loved when growing up.

When convenience took precedence over nutrition and ‘5 a day’ was yet be dreamt up, packaged food reigned supreme. What ever possessed us to eat – and enjoy – a Vesta Beef Curry after a night out at the pub? Or why was there nothing quite like Mum’s butterscotch Angel Delight when you were feeling bit off-colour?

Battenberg Britain answers all these questions and contributes hundreds of other facts, some of which it might be best not to know. Depending on where you stand in the gourmet stakes, this book celebrates the very best (worst) in ‘British nosh’, and all the yummy (revolting) things we scoffed with no qualms whatsoever. Every one of the foods is lovingly remembered and fantastically presented in this gift book, perfect for all those afficionados of great British food!
