Lost Xmas food

Xmas nostalgia has been bad this weekend - why will someone not bring back mignons morceaux, cheese moments, worcester sauce crisps, cream and cheesy niknaks and those massive KP bignuts

It really is not Xmas without them!

Proper Roses chocolates with jewel shiny wrappers that came in a tin.

About 30ish years ago when I was about 10 I remember my aunt buying a white chocolate torte from M&S to be one of the Christmas puddings - it was silky smooth white chocolatey goodness and we never saw it ever again 😭
I wouldn’t eat it now but for years after we were bereft and it was top of the list of family Christmas chat as to whether or not we’d find it that year 😂

B and M have packs of Walkers Worcestershire sauce crisps. They also have boxes of York Fruits. The Range does too. I've seen orange and lemon slices in a few places too.

I can't find sugared almonds anymore. Where have they gone?

York fruits - jelly sweets with a weird hard capsule of fruity liquid in the middle
jelly orange & lemon slices
Weekend chocolate boxes
Tunis cake and Dundee cake

Don’t recognise any of those! I miss my mother’s stuffing though. And her bread sauce. And her Christmas cake! Having a family now I realise what a feat she managed, making it magical for us three kids, inviting several waifs and strays for dinner, cooking a fabulous meal (my father was fairly useless with domestic stuff). So it’s more people I miss, not things (my father passed years before her, and my DH passed just after my father). Christmas is still wonderful, but not the same.

Walkers have started doing Worcestershire sauce flavour again.

There still is Worcester sauce crisps? I'd like edible cheap chocolate back, not the claggy poor excuses, we have today. Oh and Asda's orange Irish cream.
