In the Midwest we pull wishbones.  Or I should say, we did.  Now that you mention it, I 
haven't seen a wishbone for a long time.

About Ribena. Ahem. . .  My first sip made me choke and gag.  It never occurred to me 
that Black Currant flavor is basically raisin.  In America, so many things are flavored with 
Wild Cherry - cough drops, Coke, candy.  When I was in London many many years ago, 
everything was Black Currant.  That took some getting used to.  

And what is that yeast spread that people put on toast?  It was black and shiny and i can't 
recall the name.

I loved custard cream biscuits - much better than ours.  And vinegar flavored crisps.  We 
didn't have flavored potato chips at that time.  And Cadbury Roses - best filled chocolates 
ever.  And lemonade - it's like a soda pop, but thinner and sweeter and not fizzy.  Not like 
lemonade from lemons.  And the treat I miss most - a chocolate flake stuck in my ice 
cream cone!
