Description
These were like mini-pizzas, except they had cheddar cheese instead of mozzarella, and maybe bacon bits on them..maybe it was the 60's..but people I ask have only very vague memories of them, but I know we were like, addicted to them on Friday nights, and Saturday afternoons.(That's how ong they lasted after food shopping on a Friday night !!

OMG!!! I can't believe someone else remembers this product! I remember the tv commercial very well....starring Abigail Van Buren (a/k/a Dear Abby), who spoke with a very sibilant "S". When she spoke the line "one of the toughest questions i've ever been asked has come from my own husband and teenaged son. What's new for snacks or lunch?", I would laugh uncontrollably on the floor (ok, I was 10 at the time, so forgive me).
I seem to remember a very Carnaby Street/Cockney girl riding a double-decker bus around London with an upbeat, jazzy version of "Rule Brittania" playing in the background, chirping something like "Piccadilly Circles - it's the little English muffin with a MEAL on top!"
Just saw a freezer stocked with 'em on an early 70s episode of Let's Make A Deal and laughed aloud. Had to look on the Internet to see if anyone remembered them. They were from, I think, "Checkerboard" - perhaps this was Ralston/Purina's human-chow division...?
My dad worked nights and so my mother would let my sister and I have the kids of meals we liked when dad wasn't there to insist on 'meat and potatoes!" We loved, loved, loved Piccadilly Circles. I have looked for them since and they don't exist. Our large food storage freezer always had a supply!
I have wondered about these things for years. It was a weekend treat for us at TV time. Thanks for the memories!
I just wish they would bring them back or supply the recipe so we could make them at home. My sister and I were also addicted to them.
I loved these things! they came in two flavors I can remember. a swiss with ham and a chedder and ham with a hint of mustard. after school treat that could not be beat. somebody has to start making these again. and big john's beans!
