What were Monkey Nuts (not rabbit droppings)?

 

Do they still make Tizer if so were cab you get it from?.

 

Flying Sorcers?

It seems you can still get Tizer and flying saucers, also monkey nuts. In Lincolnshire we can usually get chestnuts in the autumn, though they are often imported from Italy.

Take great care how you use the word Monkey, unless you are actually talking about the animal itself. A recent thread on the forum concerning a piece of apparel that used the M word brought out all the PCs and SJWs in South Yorkshire.

Correction Tiger nuts...

The "Nut Bar" in the Moor Market still sells tiger nuts. They aren't actually nuts - they are the tubers of a type of sedge. I planted some that I bought from the Nut Bar and grew them. Edited February 15, 2018 by hillsbro

You can still get Tizer but it is not the same stuff as we used to buy in the 50s & 60s. Today's Tizer has a sweetness & blandness that the old Tizer did not have. The 50s/60s tizer had a slightly bitter edge to it as it contained hop bitters. As far as I am aware, Tizer is readily available in Tesco etc. By the way, weren't there such things as milk nuts in the 50s?

The juice of tiger nuts is sometimes called "milk", and in the 1950s Kenyons (of 'KP' fame) used to sell twopenny packets of nuts, including what they called "milky tiger nuts".
