Gone for a Burton

I SHARE reader Steve Mitchell’s fond memories of Burton’s Potato Puffs (Letters), which were left out of the list of the nation’s favourite crisps.

As a child in the Sixties, I enjoyed this pillow- shaped snack for morning break at primary school. They cost 2d a packet and I spent the rest of my 3d-a-day lunch money on a Jammie Dodger.

Burton’s made Cheesettes, oval- shaped cheese biscuits with a good sprinkling of salt.

On Fridays, we had Kunzle Cakes — chocolate cups filled with jelly, sponge and buttercream, topped with a giant chocolate button.

These were prohibitively expensive, but our neighbour worked at the local cake factory and brought home imperfect ones.
