I cannot remember ever buying any food at the Goldstone. I used to buy some sweets etc at the newsagents just outside the North side of Hove station and then some chips after the game near the pub on the corner of Sackville Road, which has traded under many different names.
I have several memories.
I remember that the sugar packets had facts on them, and they always seemed to be "Robot comes from the Czech word meaning slave"
I remember in the south stand the counter backed onto a middle section where they coked the food and that served the west stand too.
I remember the food being quite decent, but then they stopped using that middle section and the burgers started being heated and served in foil bags.
I remember sometimes my dad would take us the long way round from hove train station car park, to sackville road, so we could stop at the fish and chip shop under the bridge (which was converted to a funeral directors, I think) on our way to the ground.

It was also the first thing that sprung too my mind, oh how i would love to burn my mouth again, maybe Falmer could emulate it oh no of course people would now sue in todays society.
Not sure that the Falmer will ever match the Goldstone for memories but maybe i may just be able to feel a little different in Aug 2011 a "dawning of a new era".http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnENa6QEGI8&feature=related

Got to give it these UAE bods for attention to detail
Man City v UAE last night at Zayed Stadium...they were selling authentic steak and kidney pies...yum
You could be back in t'UK except the international school kids were chanting...let's go City, let's go...in a rather North American manner.
UAE beat City's reserves 1-0 in a pretty dull match. Steven Ireland almost got sent off and the brat behind me thought Benjani was Adeyabor.
4 quid a ticket meant there was 25,000 there which was not bad. It was a dress rehearsal for the World Club Cup next month. Let's hope they keep the pies

I remember the "boiled burgers" in the west stand
bloody horrible.
bloody horrible.
when I had a season ticket in the West Stand,I used to bring my own flask of coffee in the winter.Occasionally bought a pie if the queue wasn't too big on the way back from having a pee at half-time.
Sometimes visited the cafe in Hove Park after parking the car and strolling towards the ground.
Happy days!!
