Many years ago, when I was but a callow youth,
I spent a some of my time sitting around reading copies of either the Victor or the Hornet and eating ice lollies. Two sorts come to mind: the Lord Toffingham (which was banana flavoured with a toffee centre) and the Orange Maid.

The Orange maid was the same colour as this Eschscholzia californica
