Does any one remember eating liquorice sticks(twigs) or wrinkled hard tiger nuts?

Liquorice sticks, yes. My grandmother gave them to me and referred to them always as “Spanish”. I never managed to get hold of tiger nuts for some reason. Maybe they were regional, in the same way as Dandelion and Burdock is. Those triangular frozen orange things were definitely still about in the sixties, but I can’t answer for pineapple jubblies. I remember buying sherbet in newspaper and eating it by dipping my finger into it. Very unhygienic. Later they invented some device by which you could stick a dainty little stick of liquorice (not the same as Spanish) into it and lick that instead. Then there were those funny flying saucers containing sherbet. They were fun too.
