What do you still buy that you're convinced no one else still does?

[SomewhereInbetween1]

Title may have been a slight exaggeration, but is there anything you continue to purchase ( be it groceries, cleaning products, home bits etc) that is maybe seen as outdated, useless, old fashioned or just generally unliked by the masses , that you continue to buy?

Mine is Fisherman's Friend. I love them but have never found anyone else who still buys them!

Boil in the bag cod in butter sauce. Don't think anyone else has bought them since the 1970s. They remind me of my mum.

Another boil in the bag fan here, also love bovril and crispy pancakes

Scarlett555 I've not seen them, but they sound delicious!

I still buy fisherman's friends! Pretty much always have a packet around.

My DP buys Fisherman's Friend too! Horrible things.

Lorne sausages(square sausage meat without skin for those who don't know) always get a reaction when I offer them

£10 a month mobile phone top up voucher. Fray Bentos pies. Angel Delight.

Angel Delight still exists?! Must get some to give DC a taste of my childhood!

DH uses hankies and complains they are hard to find.

Ooh I've always got a packet of Angel Delight in the cupboard!

Mine is semolina. And I mix it with custard powder to make rice creamola because you can't buy that any more!

I’ve just bought a salad spinner.

DH buys Fisherman's Friend. I have a packet of Angel Delight in the cupboard.

peachgreen rice creamolina sounds good!
loopytiles I always see hankies in Next!

Salad cream
Tinned fruit

Tin of spam, I always have one in the cupboard.

My Nan buys fisherman’s friends, always gives me a packet for Christmas 😂

You must have missed the thread about this about a month ago it was really interesting. No idea how to find it now though!

I eat Keto these days, but if I didn’t I’d buy some Findus Cheese things. I lived with a relative when I first went vegetarian and she hated anyone in her kitchen and was a hard core meat eater, so I practically lived on the bloody things 🤣. Haven’t had one in years.

Even after the long list on the other thread, I still can’t think of anything (food or otherwise) that I still buy that’s considered ‘out dated’ 🤔

Brasso, Goddards foaming silver cleaner and dried marrowfat peas, all getting harder to find other than online!

Angel Delight

@Scarlett555 I buy the ones in Parsley sauce, don't like the butter sauce

@SpinneyHill I love Lorne sausage, best from a Scottish butchers not the frozen crap though

@SheSaidNoFuckThat the parsley sauce ones are easier to come by so must be more popular. I only like the butter sauce ones. My mum used to make them for me with mashed potatoes and peas. Ultimate comfort food.

@Loopytiles I saw loads of hankies in Debenham last week. DP and I had a conversation wondering who on earth still buys them (and now we know ) but, in hindsight, I expect they'll be the next eco ethical thing being boasted about by the eco insta huns. Cloth bums, wipes, reusable bags, no plastic, hankies replacing tissues must be next

I still use gravy browning or gravy salt. My mum made the best roast beef gravy with it

@Scarlett555 Farmfoods and my local Asda sell them both, Asda have their own in butter sauce too

Pearce Duff's blancmange, delicious, the skin is the best part. Another Angel Delight fan too!

Dried marrowfat peas. Boxes of dried soup mix - dried veg and barley to stick in a broth.

My parents still buy tinned chopped pork, they have it with salad and jacket potatoes. Also those shelf stable sponge flan cases, which we'd make up as a dessert with tinned peaches and quick jel, and serve with tinned evaporated milk - it's really lovely! Never met anyone else who still buys evap but it's nice, you can have a bowl of chopped up bananas covered with evap sprinkled with sugar and it's delicious...
