What was a typical snack food for children in the past?!
my grandparents said to me that it was a slice of bread with some drops of oil on it (I'm Italian ;-) )

If you lived in the country (or even in suburbs) you would scavenge blackberries, wild strawberries, apples and pears according to the season!. Liquorice root was also used to chew on, especially useful as its very sweet but doesnt make you thirsty!.
Typical snack food if you had money was a penny bun or a half-penny worth of chips - money would be pooled and the food shared!.
At home you would attempt to raid the cake or biscuit tin, hoping parents wouldnt notice just a bit missing!.!.!.
Eating between meals was actively discouraged for children!. If you asked you might be offered something unappetising like a dry crust!. "if you're not bread hungry, then you're not hungry" would be the answer if you asked for anything else!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Here in spain we still have bread with olive oil and tomato and it is delicious! However, when I was young, I used to have marmite on bread or jam sandwiches!. Years ago, people didn't really snack like they do now, they ate their meals and that was it!. My husband used to have connie onnie sandwiches which is condensed milk on bread!! Www@FoodAQ@Com
