Rowntree's Cocoa

There was an old tin of Rowntrees Cocoa in our food cupboard. It sat there untouched, for years. The tin was a dull light chocolate brown, with a cream picture of a young maid in old fashioned dress carrying a mug of steaming hot cocoa on a tray. It was probably one of the few luxury items in the food cupboard. Perhaps none of us knew what to do with it! Alongside it was an old jar of Sharwoods’ mango chutney-there weren't too many curry nights at 6/2 Oxgangs Avenue so it too lasted for years!
