Remember my brother and I buying Chiko Rolls for about 20 cents each at the Berala Takeaway. If we were really hungry we'd load up on a few thick potato scallops at 2 cents each. Honestly the grease would be running down your face after every bite. They'd douse 'em in Cornwell's white vinegar and wrap the lot up in a couple of sheets of last Sunday's Telegraph. We'd down the lot and then have to think of excuses for Mum why we couldn't eat dinner that night!

Mmmm Hot potato Scollops, 2c each? They were 3 for 20c when I was in 3rd grade and I would get scollys after school in the winter and sunnyboys in the summer with my 20c bus fair and walk home instead.
Chips were 40c a bag and a $1 would get you the biggest bag of chips you’ve ever see in your life.
Did somebody say Hot potato Scollops?

Bugger the Doc, I tell him the truth, it’s Mrs BF I’m careful with, although at the moment it’s “eat more”. But I shouldn’t be drinking alcohol anymore more, so more than two and she suddenly becomes a doctor and is on my case. Literally sits on my case and says “No Soup For You!”

Yeah my doctor as well has placed a 'no scallops with salt' order on me.... Was a weekly treat... Jeez bloody hell it was only once a week... Not like it was every day
The booze has gone
Ciggys long gone
No more junk food (though it's not like it used to be)
Nothing left except some sweets occasionally chocolate or ice cream... Or cake lol 🍧😂

Bloody hell a penny!!! They would have been old school them days, hand cut.
How good are they when they’re hand cut? There was a corner shop near me doing hand cut scollys for a while, I loved em.
