Taste Buds & Mars Bars
Obviously Jock pies tasted better 40 or even 30 years ago - we had taste buds then. As for Deep fried Mars bars, I think our colleagues in the Andrew would know about that. I think it was a relatively new thing, fashionable in the Glasgow area starting about 15 years ago.
Our taste buds at Lossie improved after a chef was parachuted into the junior Ranks restaurant from HQ STC after, it was rumoured, that a certain person/team responsible for local fresh goods was found paying class 1 prices for class 4 produce and splitting the difference with the supplier. Posting(s) to Colchester come to mind IIRC
