Asda used to do a Jambalaya ready meal...must have been 10 years ago now and I'm still annoyed that they discontinued it!

ConfusedandContrary · 27/05/2019 18:18

The strawberry pigs were good too, though my heart belonged to the fondant mice. I think they were discontinued 2 or 3 years ago.

Crispy findus pancakes chees ones. Can't find any down here.

ConfusedandContrary · 27/05/2019 18:18

McDonalds Caramel sundaes. I'll never forgive the government for introducing the bloody sugar tax!

Doner kebab pot noodles. They were so fucking good.

I used to love these egg things, looked like real eggs but were chocolate with a sugary coating. Amazing. I only ever saw them in my local village shop and never since!

Excitedforxmas · 27/05/2019 18:21

Sunpat cheese spread in a jar. It was orange .

Lolly12 · 27/05/2019 18:21

I used to love the raspberry Creamola Foam @ThreeFish. My mum used to bring a tub on holiday as a treat!

Also miss Mingles and Terrys Neopolitan chocolates, and the Toffos that were different flavoured.

CoodleMoodle · 27/05/2019 18:22

Irn Bru bars.

BBQ Wotsits. And the prawn cocktail ones, but I'd live without them.

A specific type of BBQ chops from Tesco - DM and I have tried them all but they're just not the ones we used to have when I was a teenager.

EggysMom · 27/05/2019 18:22

To a pp: Longley Farm still make a mandarin yoghurt, we can get it here in the Northwest. But it's the only one i've found.

Daffodil2018 · 27/05/2019 18:22

Campbell's condensed tomato rice soup!

PivotPivotPivottt · 27/05/2019 18:22

Potato puffs! qj17 I miss those too.

I think you still get the drinks with the twisty lid, Twist N Squeeze? I bought them a few years ago anyway.

The first thing I thought of was Milky Bar Choos when I read the thread title. And Irn Bru bars and Highland Toffee bars.

As a child my mum used to buy me these chocolate space ship things that were filled with yoghurt.

I have loads of these I think about all the time but my mind has gone blank now I'm here to discuss them!

IntoValhalla · 27/05/2019 18:23

darkriver19886 Get yourself to a Farmfoods!!! My local one has every variety of Findus crispy pancakes - even the rank minced beef ones! The ham and cheese ones are banging Grin

liitlepenguin · 27/05/2019 18:24

Snowflake bars !!

Damn you Cadbury's!

alwaysthinkingofsleep · 27/05/2019 18:24

Mesquite Kettle chips - why did they go?!

Still Fanta from McDonald's (recently mentioned on another thread 😋)

Marble chocolate bars 🤤

Bacon grillls - student/hangover food at its absolute finest...

mogtheexcellent · 27/05/2019 18:25

Oven crunchies. Bloody loved those.

anitagreen · 27/05/2019 18:25

@PivotPivotPivottt that's the spelling I couldn't remember it properly they was so nice and only 20p, and that's the drinks twist n squeeze I don't think any of our shops around here sell them, they used to always be in the drinks aisle when I was younger

Ready Salted Chipsticks

CatstorTroy · 27/05/2019 18:25

Robinson's blood orange squash. It's probably not even as nice as I remember but I dream about it frequently. And kitkat tiramisu, I brought one everyday after school.

missmouse101 · 27/05/2019 18:27

Wickers prawn cocktail crisps. Tesco bean and cheese wrap.

Nogodsnomasters · 27/05/2019 18:27

The plastic drink bottles with the twist off lids are still sold here in Northern Ireland. They're a kids juice right? and the bottles are the colours of the drink so can get orange bottle, red bottle, purple bottle etc yeah?

MummyParanoia101 · 27/05/2019 18:27

@LadyMonicaBaddingham I saw Pyramint on Amazon the other day

FadedRed · 27/05/2019 18:27

Lemon puff biscuits, lemon cream filling with crisp ‘puff’ biscuits that had little spots of caramelised sugar on. Haven’t seen them for years and they were my absolute favourite ever biscuits.

FunkyBarnYardBroom · 27/05/2019 18:29

Christmas pudding toffee crisp
